As we get ready for cold weather, some of the reminders I’ve seen have been more entertaining than others
As we prep for the Icepocalypse in Georgia ❄️🐾
- Please don't chase wildlife away. They’re just looking for a cozy shelter from wind & ice (under decks, sheds, or near your house).
- Don’t cuddle wildlife. Cold + stress = “bite me” energy.
- Straw = good. Blankets/towels = soggy, cold, misery.
Give wildlife space. They may move slowly or just chill (literally) to conserve energy.
- No storm-snack sharing. Oreos & Slim Jims = bad for wildlife.
- Don’t try warming wildlife with heaters or warm water. Someone will try, we know it…
- Babies aren’t always abandoned. Parents might be watching nearby.
Not sure what to do? Text us 678-827-5496 or visit Animal Help Now (AHNow.org) to find a licensed rehabber for guidance.
💚 Ice melts but kindness sticks.
We leave you with this classic reminder by OK Dept of Wildlife that wildlife is wild. No, we don't have "populations of" mountain lions in Georgia (but the post is still funny). 😉 No we don't.
