Plot

Characters
Scaredy Orville Squirrel (voiced by Terry McGurrin) – A smart, germophobic, and occasionally shy orange squirrel who works as a stacker at a grocery store called Stash "N" Hoard and is fond of cleaning. Unlike the books where he's a flying squirrel, this version of Scaredy resembles an American red squirrel.
David "Dave" Skunkerton Weeb (voiced by Jonathan Gould) – Scaredy's best friend who is a blue skunk. He is also dim-witted and is fond of being messy and farting.
Nestor (voiced by Patrick McKenna) – Nestor is a yellow canary who is the manager of Stash "N" Hoard. He is also Scaredy's boss and also frenemies with him.
Momma (voiced by Jayne Eastwood) – A grouchy, light pink canary who owns the Stash "N" Hoard, and who is Nestor's mother. Momma makes surprise appearances at any time, and is fond of firing people even those who don't work at the Stash "N" Hoard. Additionally, she appears to have little respect for her son Nestor and generally refuses to approve of him.
Paddy (voiced by David Berni) – A gray, egotistical ferret who is always making trouble for Scaredy.
Sally (voiced by Linda Kash) – A turquoise trout who is deeply in love with Scaredy. Sally is confident and thinks she and Scaredy could be a good couple, when in truth Scaredy is freaked out by her.
Mildred (voiced by Jamie Watson) – A toad who works at the Stash "N" Hoard and seems to be Nestor's only friend. She is always seen drinking a bottle of soda and is constantly burping. She is also a secret spy but only Scaredy and Dave know.
