About Possumbilities, Inc.
Licensed in 2021, Possumbilities was opened in Northwest Georgia due to people having few options in this area to get much-needed help with injured and orphaned small mammals. I trained for over 2 years at a state-licensed facility; I passed the Georgia state licensing exam and passed the state inspection procedures to become a licensed facility. We serve all small mammals, including rabies vectors but specialize in the Virginia Opossum, Grey Squirrel, and Chipmunk. We raise orphaned babies, treat injured and sick animals, and provide pre-release training to reintroduce the animals to their natural habitat. We prefer soft-release procedures to give the animals, what we believe to be the best chance of survival. We also rehabilitate reptiles and amphibians.
Timeline
From October until December 2021, we received 21 animals - 7 squirrels, 12 opossums, and 2 chipmunks. Of these, several are still in care. Some are due to being late-season orphans, which will be released in the spring. Others are still recovering and will be released as soon as warmer weather appears.
2022 - We completed intake on 242 animals. We continue to take mainly opossums
2023 - We completed intake on 309 animals. We continue to take mainly opossums.
2024 - We completed intake on 291 animals. We still take mainly opossums, but are now taking rabies vectors. We have taken in a large number of juvenile raccoons.

2025 - We were blessed with the opportunity to
partner with Beast Productions on a documentary about Wildlife Rehabilitation. Mr. Beast sponsored 54 of my animals and featured their pictures in this video. This sponsorship has allowed us to expand with two new buildings, 10 new cages and lots of supplies. Thank you Mr. Beast - you are amazing!
