Flash floods have slammed Austin Wildlife Rescue with over 270 animals in just one week—way beyond their usual 30 a day—amid baby season when young critters are fleeing nests and chaos. Squirrels, songbirds, skunks, rabbits, raccoons, and even turtles are being rescued, many separated from parents by thunder and panic. A fawn caught in fencing while crossing a flooded river is recovering, but care is costly. Their rehab center is already packed with 2,000 animals, and space is tight. Officials expect numbers to ease by week’s end, but they urgently need community help—donations of towels, detergent, and bleach are vital to keep things clean and running.
