	R.I.P Lovely Lita June 4th 2009 It is with a tremendously heavy heart that I must tell everyone my Lovely Lita passed away quietly a few minutes ago. She was the most fantastic little lady anyone could ever have known. She was a people squirrel. Loved her people with all her heart and soul and she will be forever missed. Her name will live on in the organization I began because of her. Hopefully many other wonderful little furry friends will be helped because of her. It seems odd that she will be the first in the Lovely Lita boards Squirrel Heaven. I know she will wait for us and greet us with her enthusiastic jumps when we reach there too.	New Article We would like for you to join our new club and Newsletter. It is called Lovely Lita's Nutty Friends. You will get a quarterly Newsletter with a picture of one of our permanent residents and their story. Click on the    picture below for all the details.

Mission Statement

This organization offers all types of squirrels refuge. Most of the squirrels our organization acquires are from Tampa Bay Emergency Animal Hospital. Some squirrels rendered unable to care for themselves and need full time care because of birth defects, contact with man, hurricanes, eating poison meant for rats etc. are selflessly cared for by our volunteers. To volunteer you do not need experience in tending to squirrels, you just need patience, time, and a some instruction. The smaller squirrels (up to 12 weeks old) need to be fed every two hours and the larger squirrels need to be fed every four hours. Volunteers who do not want to take on the chore of preparing the squirrels for the wild can bring them back to the organization and we will take care of that. Supplies are in need continuously to feed and house the animals.
