On Tuesday, the organization rescued a raccoon with a jelly jar stuck on its head.

In a Facebook video, a worker is seen cutting the jar to free the animal.

"Hunger got the best of this little bandit when he found himself trapped in a jar! His head was really jammed in there, but our wildlife rehabbers were eventually able to save the day. We're sure he's very grape-ful for the help," the post reads.

The raccoon shook its head twice after being freed and did not show any signs of injury.

???? STICKY SITUATION! ????
