"This squirrel used to live in this tree," NeedMoreSun wrote. "Two weeks ago our neighbors decided to cut it down.

"This is the first time I've seen him back standing where his house used to be," the user added.

Commenters are rallying behind the evicted squirrel, even suggesting ways to help the lil' guy out. "Build a little house nearby with a feeder with large nuts so fewer birds come," one person suggested. "Then he'll at least have somewhere to hang."

Squirrels of America, please reach out if you have an open space in your tree.
