I am a State Licensed Wildlife Rehabber that has been rehabbing orphaned and injured squirrels and small mammals since 2013.
I started the same way most squirrel rehabbers do... I found a baby squirrel.
I rehab primarily orphaned squirrels for soft release back into the wild when healthy or when they reach 16 weeks of age.
(Squirrels make terrible pets and should always be released to enjoy their fullest life)
Your donations will be used to pay for blankets, cage materials, tubs, formula, solid foods, medicines, vet bills, syringes and nipples.. and a long list of other items mostly funded from my own wallet.
(Squirrel wearing the cast is 'Rocky'. When his broken leg healed he became the fastest squirrel in the neighborhood)

If you have found a baby deer, leave it alone unless it is walking around crying for mom or the ear tips are curled.. The mom parks the baby in the morning and is gone all day. If you hang around the area it may keep the mom from coming back.
If you have found a baby rabbit... put it back in the nest! Wild mother rabbits produce enzymes in their milk that we cannot reproduce. Also wild rabbits often die from fear in captivity. The nest may look like a spot of dead grass in your yard. The mom only visits the nest for 5 minutes twice per day. You can put a line of flour around the nest to see if she disturbs it when visiting.
If you have found a baby bird do NOT give it any fluids. It will go straight into the lungs, drowning it. Try to get it off the ground by putting it in something like a plant hanging basket. Normally the parents will start feeding it again. If you absolutely have to feed it while searching for a rehabber use this reference: https://pethelpful.com/wildlife/How-to-Feed-a-Baby-Bird
