On Sunday, June 22, 2014, we noticed a possum huddled between the house and the rain gutter. The animal is able to move it's front paws and seems alert when we speak to her (we believe it is a female). She is lying on her side. We have been checking on her and she has not left this spot. Not sure if she is injured. I have called the Flintcreek Rehab and left several message with no return call; Trailside Museum, Forest Park and they referred me to this website; I left a message for a licensed rehabber on the Il Dep of Natl Res Website in Elk Grove Village with no return call. I feel very baddly if this animal is in need of help and I cannot get any. What do you suggest. I know most do not care since it is "just a possum". I however do not feel that way since it is a living breathing animal.

I appreciate any assistance I can get.

I'm a firm believer in there's no such thing as "just a possum". Thank you for your diligence in trying to get the opossum some help. Did any of the rehabbers get back to you?

There is also Flint Creek Wildlife in Barrington or Willowbrook Wildlife
