HOUSTON – With heavy rainfall in the forecast for much of southeast Texas, the Wildlife Center of Texas is asking people to be on alert for orphaned wild animals who may be impacted by these storms.
"Squirrels are in their second nesting season and the babies can literally be blown or washed to the ground," said Sharon Schmalz, executive director of the Wildlife Center of Texas.

Experts said the sooner the orphaned baby can get to The Wildlife Center of Texas, the greater the chance for survival and release back into the wild.
The center is collecting donations to help provide nutritious food and formula, medicine, and veterinary care for these wild orphans. Warming hoods and other much-needed supplies can be found on their Amazon.com wish list. http://www.wildlifecenteroftexas.org/donate/our-wish-list/
