Last month, Hurricane Ida struck the state of Louisiana and devastated the lives of millions of residents.
Inside were three baby squirrels, with no mother to be seen.
The squirrels were extremely lethargic, and huddled up to stay warm.
Once the squirrels had eaten, they started to gain energy.
After about 24 hours, they perked up enough to run and play, Villavaso recalls.
The squirrels started climbing and running on me.
she adds, I am definitely an animal lover!
Villavaso is currently still looking after the squirrels where she and her family relocated.
I will continue to reach out to animal rehab centers.
These cute squirrels look pretty happy and settled in their temporary home.
15-year-old Bailee Villavaso rescued three orphaned squirrels when she and her family were evacuating after Hurricane Ida.
The teenager spotted their nest on the ground after it had been blown down from a tree.
The mother was no where to be seen.
The kind animal lover nursed them back to health.
She named them Alvin, Simon, and Theodore, after the famous cartoon chipmunks.
