In a bustling New York City apartment, another remarkable story unfolded when an unsuspecting resident discovered two baby Eastern Grey Squirrels nestled beneath his pillow. Dubbed Little Thumb, one of the surviving offspring, this tale of unlikely companionship resonated deeply with animal lovers worldwide.
Little Thumb’s journey began when construction workers inadvertently displaced her mother’s nest, leaving her homeless. With quick thinking, the resourceful rodent sought refuge in the warmth and safety of the apartment, where she gave birth to her offspring.
Despite efforts to reunite Little Thumb with her mother, fate intervened, leaving the resilient squirrel orphaned. Fortunately, a compassionate couple stepped in, providing her with the care and love she needed to thrive.
As Little Thumb grew, it became evident that her unique circumstances set her apart from her wild counterparts. Unable to integrate with other squirrels, she found solace and companionship with her rescuers, who affectionately embraced her as their own.
