The top priority for any wildlife confrontation is to keep all parties including yourself and the animal safe! Do not risk your health or safety and consult us or another wildlife rescue to get accurate information on dealing with injured and orphaned wildlife. We do not recommend ever handling wildlife yourself and it is best to have a trained individual capture any animals that could potentially spread serious and even deadly viruses. Enspecies personally thanks you for helping our communities wildlife!
