Opossums are great animals. They keep to themselves and eat all the bugs in your yard. Please be kind if you see one. They will not hurt you. Thank you.

The therapeutic value of animals should never be underestimated. The unconditional love received from them is worth more than anything else in the world.

When I was homeless and living on the porch of an abandoned house my best friend was a mamma possum and her two pups. We spent alot of nights together listening to music shows at the Rose Music Hall just down the street. Best of times. FAM.

The only crappy thing about Opossums is that their life spans are way too short. 😢 I hope you are now an official Opossum rescue caregiver!
And thank you for having such a good heart. ❤

That 2-4 years is the hardest part about raising opposums. They have such a stigma as being gross and nasty but in reality they are big teddy bears and just afraid

[pyenme]

I admire that people are willing to accept that opposums have such short lifespans, but are still willing to love and care for them with all their hearts. It's amazing, and I thank all of them for educating us about how great opposums really are.

Wendell is such an adorable chubba fur baby…I love how he smiles having his belly rubbed.

It's sad they have such short life spans, but Wendell will have the best life a possum could want!! He's adorable!! 💕

Much respect for spreading awareness of how opossums aren’t scary or mean animals

I just met a rescued opossum yesterday for the first time. VERY shiny, soft fur in the sunlight. VERY loving and sweet. Their little hands are super primate-like (gripping) with soft palms. I was blown away! The folks that I met said their opossum uses the cat litter box. I think many people would prefer the size and personality of these little guys over many popular pets. Bless you for your work!

I found a baby possum back in 2002, it was with its dead mother and I chose to take it home, fed it fruit and veggies and later alpo dog food, raised her with cats and they all got along, played, ate together, she was a beautiful girl.oved her. Let her return to the wild after she was full grown. She came back to thank me

“…I already think about when they’ll pass.” That’s exactly the reason why I couldn’t get another dog. I had a puppy from the shelter and he was with me for 17 years. He died last Oct of liver disease. It broke me in a million pieces.

I'm never more happier than when I'm surrounded by wildlife. I love this woman ❤️

[thomastammaro]

Look how healthy they are. In the wild, they're so stressed to survive. You go ma'am

[Loveoldies]

I'm so happy you rescued him AND set yourself up as a rescue for other animals, as well! WELL

They are so cute. Let's all say a prayer they live a longer life then normal. And her heart is so beautiful it shines through to the outside.

My daughter had an opossum living on the porch of an abandoned house behind her and she would always give him some food and we named him Bob. He was sooo cute 🥰

Opossums are AWESOME! We raised a three-legged opossum for nearly a year before she was ready to return to the wild.
