Katarina The Squirrel


Wind storm in western New York resulted in down trees, power outages, and what ended up being the tiniest leg cast you've probably ever seen.
A little squirrel in western New York is on the mend after suffering a broken leg
It happened after a windstorm swept through the area, damaging trees and knocking out power.
The Orphaned Wildlife Center says a resident heard crying sounds after a tree fell
What she found was two baby squirrels along with a downed nest
She brought the injured animals to the center, and then to a local vet for treatment
That's where the teeny-tiny squirrel got her teeny-tiny leg cast
Doctors are calling her Katarina, and say she should be fine in a couple of weeks.
According to a message posted on the Orphaned Wildlife Center's Facebook page, doctors named her after they raffled a name off for a $50 donation and someone took the offer and named her Katarina.
