These two-week-old squirrels are being hand-reared at an animal centre after being separated from their mother.
The two babies are thought to have been found after their nest in trees in Collingwood Recreation Ground, Sutton, fell to the ground in high winds.
The furry friends were brought into a nearby resident's home, unscathed, by her pet cat.
They are now being cared for by staff at the Riverside Animal Centre, Beddington - who have named them after Olsen twins Mary Kate and Ashley - before they are released back into the wild in about 12 weeks.
Volunteer Jess Bickerstaff has been taking the squirrels home each night. They are being fed on Royal Canin Kitten Milk with calcium supplement.
The squirrels are the first to be brought into the centre this year. Riverside raises well over 100 baby squirrels each year.
