This article is about the heartwarming story of a construction worker turned wildlife hero as he rescues a family of squirrels from a construction site.
In the realm of construction sites, where meticulous attention is paid to every detail, contractors often find themselves donning multiple hats—from material assembly to wildlife monitoring. If a safety hazard is identified, they stop everything to address it.
Unbeknownst to the worker, there was one stray squirrel left behind
However, the unexpected twist occurred when the contractor, preoccupied with sealing gaps using a can of foam insulation, unwittingly left one curious squirrel behind.
The squirrel was still caked in foam, but the construction worker’s quick thinking made a huge difference
Upon the squirrel’s arrival at MWRC, it was evident that the construction worker’s prompt intervention had made a significant difference. While the critter was still adorned in patches of stubborn foam, the quick removal efforts meant that the rescue team had a more manageable task at hand.
They began the process by swabbing his mouth and nostrils, ensuring unobstructed airways for comfortable breathing. Progressing carefully, they delicately cleaned his eyes and removed the foam from areas that might impede his movement.
MWRC has high hopes for the squirrel’s recovery, no matter how long the road ahead might be
While the healing journey for the squirrel is still in its early stages, the caring team at MWRC is delighted to report that he is thriving with each passing day.
Until that moment arrives, the dedicated team at MWRC is committed to providing the adorable and almost-fluffy survivor with the care, attention, and support he needs. Each day spent in the nurturing environment of the rescue center contributes to the squirrel’s healing and brings him closer to the prospect of rejoining the natural world.
