Croatian Squirrels in Poreč - Istria

This couple has been returning for several years now, specifically because of the squirrels, and in our conversation, they shared their love for these charming creatures.

Our hearts break with pain because we genuinely looked forward to seeing our trio joyfully scampering through the branches of trees in nature, in the open! That was the life we wanted for them!

Last night, we lost another special soul, my beloved Coccolina. She was not just another squirrel; she was a part of our forest family, one of our darlings, the penultimate daughter of Koki, born in the spring of 2021.

Her story, our story, reminds me that despite the loss, the love we share with our animal friends remains, lighting the way through sorrow toward new days filled with memories, love, and gratitude.

As Bim and Bum continue without their sister, your story will remain a reminder of the fragility of life and the depth of the bonds we form, regardless of species.

Our Tooth Fairy crossed the rainbow bridge on January 19, 2023, leaving us with a story of sorrow, but also of courage, resilience, and incredible spirit. Her short life reminds us of the importance of love, care, and support even in the hardest times.

This is a question some of our social media followers have asked recently, so here is the briefest possible answer.

We are grateful to the team of experts at the Zagreb Zoo who accommodated us, so Bim, Bum, and Bam now have a nice place to spend the winter, a large area with plenty of greenery where they can continue to grow and develop undisturbed.

We are reaching out to request your support in building squirrel houses. Over the past few months, several summer storms have caused the loss of many trees, which served as nesting sites for squirrels, leaving them homeless.

Every year, the Public Fire Department of Poreč provides invaluable support in maintaining water stations for birds, squirrels, and other small animals that share our oasis in the area of Hotel Galijot in Plava Laguna.

Your donation will be used to create safer habitats, ensure sufficient food and water, and educate the public about the importance of preserving the natural environment for squirrels and other wildlife.
