hurt chip monk ... Gravy's uptown zoo needs help

Katie , the feral cat that adopted me, has been bringing me rats , chip monks , and birds
the rats and chip monks are dead but most of the birds have been rehabed and released ( walking around the plaza asking folks if they minded me killing flies on their table , putting them in a baggy , and feeding the babies)
Katie brought me a chip monk yesterday , injured leg , and I want to know WHO to take him to .... is there a wildlife rescue or a LOCAL vet who is experienced in critters like this ?

Here is contact info for Lakeside Wildlife Rescue and Rehab:
Vern and Lori Geiger (Tel. 765-4916; e-mail 1geiger@prodigy.net.mx)

Dr Pepe is very good with wild animals. He has helped us a couple of times.

got an address and phone # ?

off to Dr Pepe ..... Vern and Lori are going to rehab the little guy if he makes it

Gravy, St. Francis is smiling upon you!
I love the image of you asking people if they mind you killing "their" flies to feed your baby birds. That will keep me smiling all day.

Gravy, are you sure your cat brought in a chipmunk? I just checked the range information on National Geographic's website and I think that chipmunks may not range this far down into Mexico. It's probably a rat.

Or a squirrel  

nope ....a genuine chip monk ....when I down load the pics I will send them to Jim or CBob to post

It's too late anyway....he's already named him Alvin.  

hey , that's better than Chip and Dale

MUCH better.... for Chip and Dale....you'd have to rescue another one!

We had a barn cat named Sushi. She would gather all the chipmunk and squirrel tails in the same area of the barn.
For mice, she ate the tails also.  

Ah ... a collector....

That she was. She was 19 years old when she retired and lived in the house until the ripe old age of 23.   

That's amazing...obviously not eating fluffy tails lengthened her life? Kidding. 23 is pretty much ancient for a kitty.

She was quite the cat. She came with the farm when we bought it.
Her mother apparently lived even longer.
When she walked through the barn, the horses stepped aside.

I guess that they don't have chip monks in Florida. Because if they did you would have learned what a chipmunk looks like. I'm glad you rescued the little guy and I hope he will be ok.

A suggestion: before you open your zoo to the public, I suggest you double check your animals and signs so that people know what they're looking at.

Thanks Bob ...... He's doing fine at the rehab ....I want to name him Rocky ,,,,hard start in life ,,,, my favorite childhood cartoon ,,,, a fighter

Thank you for saving him, Gravy.
