Northern Colorado Wildlife Center is Feeling the Fall Spirit!

As the rainy weather rolls through NoCo, our team and patients are feeling the shift into fall—and we couldn’t be more excited for the season ahead!

This little orphaned squirrel has been with us for 57 days. He came in from Denver as a neonatal-aged orphan, only a few days old, with his eyes still closed and tiny injuries scattered across his body. While we’ll never know exactly what caused those injuries, what mattered most was that he had the chance to survive. From those fragile first days, he has grown and healed in our care, and today he’s thriving alongside his “step-siblings”—other orphaned squirrel patients around the same age.

To help us keep track of his daily medications and extra supportive care needs, we gave him the tiniest “mini squirrel haircut”—a small patch of fur clipped on top of his head. It’s harmless, grows back quickly, and ensures we can give him exactly what he needs to thrive until he’s ready for release back into the wild.

Moments like this one—a happy squirrel snacking away in comfort and safety—are possible because of the incredible people who stand with us. To our more than 100 volunteer caregivers and educators, and to every single donor who fuels our mission: thank you. You make it possible for Northern Colorado Wildlife Center to rescue, rehabilitate, and educate every day of the year.

Together, we’re not just preparing for a new season—we’re building a brighter future for Colorado’s wildlife. 💚
