Woman Finds A Baby Squirrel On The Sidewalk And Gives Him A Second Chance At Life; Two Years Later, He Still Visits Her Garden

Life is unpredictable, but if you have unconditional love for animals and a kind heart, you might end up being a parent to a wild animal. This is exactly what happened to Jessica Adams, who, on February 25th of 2019, saw a pink blob on the sidewalk while walking her son from preschool. That tiny blob turned out to be a baby grey squirrel who had apparently fallen from a nest after a wind storm or was pulled from the nest by a predator. “He was cold & naked with a face only a mom could love,” Jessica wrote on her Instagram post. His mom was nowhere to be found, so he came home with Jessica, which was his only chance at surviving.

In February 2019, Jessica Adams found a tiny pink blob on the sidewalk after a wind storm

The baby squirrel was alone, hairless, frozen, and weighed only 1.3 ounces

He must have fallen from his nest or has been pulled out by a predator

She realized he couldn’t make it without help

She was shocked when he survived his first night

Jessica decided to nurture him back to life because everyone deserves a chance

She fed him every two hours through a pipette, even at night time

“He needed me, he would have died without help. Little did I know how much I needed him too or how much I would adore him”

As Steve grew stronger, he got introduced to a backyard where he could learn how to climb trees and other squirrel things

Eventually, he moved to his new 2-story house outside

Jessica was heartbroken about letting him go as she has truly become “Steve’s crazy mom”

But he seemed to enjoy the outside world and one day, the natural instincts took over and he disappeared

Until he visited the garden again looking for food

At that moment, Jessica knew that Steve is thriving and will be alright
