In the city center of Orsay (91), Osiris is curled up in the gloved hands of Sara Stahl, his healer.
"He's tall, he's a beautiful beast, but just because you're tall doesn't mean you aren't sick."
The mammal was welcomed in great respiratory distress in this center a few weeks earlier.
"When he arrived, we heard a rattle, we didn't even think he would spend the night," she recalls.
Today, his bronchial tubes emit a discreet little squeak but Osiris is doing better.

With her care center “les P'tits Kipik”, Sara Stahl has already taken care of 440 Essonne hedgehogs in great danger.
Individuals in the Ile-de-France region can contact this volunteer or other branches of the association if they find these mammals in the middle of town, during a gardening session or on the side of a road.
"All our work is to return the animal to nature, to release it, to have less and less contact with them, to ensure that they are autonomous and that they end up eating alone, by hunting”.
