People and pets arent the only ones trying to get back on their feet after Tropical Storm Harvey. Wild animals also took a hit from the record-breaking rainfall , surging floodwaters and brutal winds.

The Houston SPCA Wildlife Center of Texas has been bombarded with requests to help injured or waterlogged wildlife, and has taken in 225 animals since Friday, executive director Sharon Schmalz told HuffPost. She expects that number to grow in the coming days, as the waters recede and more people are able to get around.

Many of the wildlife centers newest patients are baby squirrels.
