Although we were all able to return safely to our homes thank to the heroic efforts of the firefighters, many of the local wildlife lost their homes. You may see them, and some kind soul circulated a flyer here in the canyon with the following suggestions.
If you see sick, injured or starving wildlife please call the following numbers:
WILD RESCUE - 866 WILD - 911 (866.945.3911) . This is a 24 hour hotline that will provide local numbers to call to assist.
CALIFORNIA WILDLIFE CENTER - 310 458-WILD (310.458.9453) They assist with orphaned and injured wildlife. They listed 2 other numbers one is for information 818 222-2658 or their hospital 818 591-9453. This facility is permitted to rehabilitate fawns and coyotes.
They also caution against putting out food that is not normally put out, but making water available at a safe distance from the house and the road which might be a good idea during this initial period of recovery.
Please remember to be kind to our friends who have lost their homes.

There have always been wildlfe sightings even down in the flat part of town (where I live)... but I think they've increased lately.
I've seen more racoons, squirrels, deer, and even coyotes in the last few weeks than in the rest of the time living here. (Saw a pack of coyotes at the corner of Highland and Lima the second night of the fire... and even saw one chasing a cat at the corner of Madre Villa and Orange Grove in Pasadena!)
Thanks for thinking about our other residents.
Aw, poor little guys. Hope people remember to keep a watchful eye on family pets. The wild guys can't really help themselves.
I gave a squirrel a piece of an apple the other day..it was so cute.
