A tiny 2-week old orphaned baby skunkersons is fed by a volunteer at Coast & Canyon Wildlife Rehabilitation. He’ll be fed this way more than 200 times during his stay at the 100% volunteer rehab facility.
Sender-Inner Kim B. says they don’t smell at this age Watch other rehabbular behbehs like this skunkersons on the 24/7 live streams at CoastCanyon.org. Every donated penny goes to lil’ ones like this until they’re old enough to be released back into the wild.
Faster than a speeding puff pastry!
Chicklet teh Squirrel was rescued by Heather and photographed by Lynn T. Chicklet suffered head trauma as a baby and is half the size of other grey squirrels but twice as round (even though she’s on a strict diet.) Chicklet’s admirers call her the ‘Perfectly Spherical Squirrel.’
According a story floating around the Internets, this little ginger foster kitten named Cheech was introduced to a teeny tiny five-day old orphaned chihuahua puppy named Casanova.
Cheech took to the little puppy, immediately grooming and cleaning him.
The puppy responded to his every touch, snuggling up to his new friend like a pup to his mother.
When Cheech was tired, he would climb into the puppy’s box and cuddle, sharing the heating blanket.
To Cheech, he was “his” puppy and best friend.

[ooh ooh, lookit who popped up in the comments! the original story!]
We’ve been vacillating in a quagmire of indecision for too long!
Help us, alert readers: are possums cute enough to deserve a Rule of Cuteness, or are they gnarly little ankle-biters!?
Even this possum seems a little on the fence about it.
Can possums be cute, pet photographer Mimi B.? Sender-inner PJ M. is undecided. Second photo by animal advocate Jessica B.
Many strange legends are told of the land down under, but none so strange as the story of the koala twins. You see, koala twins are rare. Rarer than a wombat in a billabong, Ugg boots in the Outback, lips on a platypus, a dingo in the old gum tree!
It all began when the Aussie hinterland heard an unfamiliar sound…
It was a sound like one never heard before. Had we known how deeply we would squee, we would’ve obeyed our first impulse and walked away with our hearts intact.
Fair dinkum to Chris H. for this incredible photo essay.
The heartwarming back story: “Hi, It is not common for a Koala to bear twins, and regrettably in this instance the Mum was struck and killed by a passing car. Fortunately, the driver stopped, and took the mother to the local vet – where it was discovered she had these twins in her pouch. It’s so nice to see a story that has a happy ending in these troubled times that we live in. Taking care of others is a great way to forget about our own problems and difficulties!”
Really? You don’t have any more questions? Not even where I was the night of the robbery? Or how the stolen halibut wound up in my fridge? Or the dead zookeeper in the trunk of… but, you know, I’ve said too much already. Later!
Now the real story: This Northern Fur Seal was rehabilitated at the Island Wildlife Natural Care Centre in British Columbia and can’t seem to believe its luck at being released back to Nature.
This is too cool for jokes, so we’ll let the YouTube notes tell the story:
Wildlife experts found Piwi and transported him to a wildlife park to mend his broken leg. The vets decided to use a treadmill to help with Piwi’s recovery. At first, Piwi wasn’t too thrilled to be on the treadmill, but the vets have said that his workout has drastically improved his muscle tone and great chance of surviving out in the wild again.
