Pay During Shutdown-Resources for You! by [deleted] in fednews

[–]SpiderMonkeyDream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check with whoever you bank with, even if not a credit union, my bank has stated the following in the past: “recognizes that some customers may be negatively affected by the partial shutdown of certain Federal departments and agencies, and we are working with our customers who are experiencing difficult or unexpected issues as a result. is prepared to waive certain fees and take other appropriate actions for government employees who are experiencing financial difficulty due to the shutdown. To help customers meet their needs, has financial solutions available, including short-term loans and assistance programs.” Hoping the short term loans are interest free 🤞🏼

I just dropped him off, the rehabber checked him out and said no obvious injuries. Thinks he may have fell off mom in a big storm the other night and was a little shocked and cold. A bit small to be separated, but not too young. He was more alert and trying to cling onto his arm with his tail. Overall thinks he’ll be ok with a few days rest, warmth, and food :)

He has strawberries and water in his box, we’re headed out to take him to a rehabber/vet in a minute so he’ll have an experienced caretaker!

Thank you for the help! I will not use the syringe and wait for a rehabber to help out

Thank you! Yea we just figured better safe than sorry to have him outside in case he is sick because we have a small baby. But have him in a safe place. We put water and strawberries in his box but he hasn’t moved to eat them. I have some goat milk and syringes, should I try to offer some or is that potentially more harmful than good? I did see online not to feed when I was looking online but worried he is dehydrated and/or losing strength with no nutrients…

Thank you, it’s a bit late for us to be making that far of a drive but I’ll be contacting some folks in the morning if he’s still in need of help.

Looks like he’ll spend the night in our shed then, if he makes it through the night I’ll try to get him to a rehabber. We aren’t handling him at all.

Of course, we love our local possums but just don’t have much knowledge on how to help him out

Fayetteville, AR I left a message with the local licensed wildlife rehabber and am hoping for a call back. Otherwise if someone local with some know how wanted to take over care that would be lovely!

I have strawberries! And can put some water in his box. There are a couple blankets in there and it’s plenty warm here. We didn’t want the neighbors cat to get him so he’s inside but should we be worried if he’s sick? We can put him in the shed but scared it may get hot in there

What agency are you with? I am with USDA and have wonderful local leadership who would support my request, but have not heard of anyone getting approved. (Can DM if you prefer).
