Each Sudoku puzzle consists of a 9X9 grid that has been subdivided into nine smaller grids of 3X3
squares. To solve the puzzle each row, column and box must contain each of the numbers 1 to 9.
kids named her Oscar. As she got older, they
kept the name, and she became Oscar the Girl
Squirrel. From March to July of that year,
Liberty raised her from being too small to
walk until she was ready to be free.
Raising a squirrel is no easy task. Liberty
describes weeks of constant care, including
night feedings, like a newborn. With Oscar,
she immediately went to her nearest pet store
and got the appropriate formula, along with
baby syringes.
As Oscar began to gain her strength, Liberty
began to see her open her eyes and start to
walk. At this point, she was transferred to a
wire cage with hanging bird toys, branches
from outside, and wooden bridges to start
learning to climb and jump. She moved on
from formula to fruits, veggies, nuts, and
even some flowers. Sometimes, Liberty would
give her free rein of the house, putting a tiny
harness with a bell attached on her to keep
track of her whereabouts.
Finally, when it came time for release, Liberty
placed her cage outside and began the process
of detaching herself and introducing Oscar to
the outside world. Over the course of about a
week, Oscar was gradually separated from all
human contact and allowed to leave the cage
at her own pace.
For a while, Oscar came back to visit,
occasionally appearing at the Libertys’ back
door to say hello or ask for a peanut. Since
Oscar, Liberty has had seven squirrels pass
through her care, either to be released or sent
for professional rehabilitation in the case of
a major injury.
With the help of her two kids, Cohen (8)
and Harper (11), as well as her husband, she
ensures that squirrels have the best chance at
life after release. For this reason, she does
not mark any of the squirrels for any reason,
citing that squirrels can be very territorial and
will attack squirrels who may appear or smell
different. In addition to no marks or scents, the
family goes through a period of little contact
with the squirrels before release to discourage
them from being too comfortable with humans.
As far as prepping the animals for wild
behavior, Liberty says that comes naturally.
As her squirrels have grown, they’ve naturally
begun to climb, jump, and hide snacks. In the
case of Oscar, they found peanuts and food
stashed away all over the house in the weeks
before her release, something she instinctively
started to do. In a later visit, Liberty was able
to see that Oscar had even had babies.
So, what should you do if you find a baby or
injured squirrel? If it’s a baby, and it’s near a
tree, Liberty advises leaving it be and keeping
watch for a few hours. Often, she says, the
mother squirrel will come down and collect her
baby to be brought back to the nest. If mom
never shows up, you may bring the squirrel
inside in a cardboard box while you figure
out the next steps. No matter the reason you
may bring in a squirrel, contacting Liberty is
a good place to start. Whether it’s with her
or through a reference to another caregiver,
Liberty wants to make sure that all the squirrels
of El Segundo are cared for.
“I feel like there’s so many of them that
need help,” says Liberty, “I just want to give
every animal a chance.” In addition to her
love for squirrels, Liberty says she wants to
show her children that you can help something
that’s small and defenseless and be a helper
to the world at large.
As her network grows and she gains help
from squirrel sitters, Liberty is prepared to
take in as many squirrels as she needs to keep
the population happy and healthy in the city’s
yards and parks. •
