  This is because the mutation that causes Albinism (the condition of being an Albino) causes the sufferer to have no pigmentation at all, rather than have a white pigment. The outcome of having no pigmentation is the pale colour we see. We see albinism in lots of other animals too!

  According to google there’s an ‘Albino Squirrel Preservation Society’.
