An animal worker has gone viral with her #sendhelp video after sharing the shocking discovery she made in one of her rescue cat’s cages.
Alicia Dreyer works in a dog day care and kennels, but when three senior cats came into their care, they couldn’t refuse, and are now helping the trio get back to full health.
But when Dreyer, who posts to TikTok on her account @sovereign.warrior.being, went to check on the cats one morning, she got a surprise. A baby opossum had somehow found its way into the crate.
In a video shared on June 12, which has been viewed over 3.8 million times, she opened the cage door and exclaimed: “Look who’s here,” as the tiny marsupial stared up at her, with neither the opossum nor the cat paying much attention to each other.
Asking the opossum how it got in there, Dreyer said it “makes no sense to me,” as the cage was on the second level with no way in or out of the fenced-in shed and patio.
Her rescue instincts immediately kicked in, however, as Dreyer spoke to the baby opossum in a gentle voice and promised “we’re going to get you out.”

She revealed in a later video update that the female baby opossum, who they have named Daisy, was still with them, being treated with love in their kennels, and that they planned to set her free after rehabilitation.
