Good advice.I will look up animal rehabbers in my area in case I might need one.
The ones I know are very dedicated and very good. They spend their own money on aviaries for birds, proper enclosures for mammals, incubators for neonates, equipment, supplies, food, vet care, etc. Donations always welcome, but they never ask for any from people bringing them wildlife. They will often let you volunteer and help raise your orphaned baby animal and glad of the help. Those who love to rehab wildlife can learn under the supervision of a licensed rehabber and become licensed themselves. Or one can just volunteer and help out from the to time.
In Tennessee, TWRA has lists of rehabbers for each type of animal in each county:

I imagine it’s the same in every state. In my state, it’s illegal to keep a native wild animal unless you are a licensed rehabber or you are raising/keeping the animal under the supervision of one. There are some exceptions, but lots of red tape. Rehabbers also handle injured wildlife and have good relationships with the vets who treat them.
