That's what it feels like! LOL! We always seems to get the hurt animals showing up here. They must know we are gonna take care of them. Jinx is doing pretty dang good right now. She's using a litter pan and has been eating as much as she can.

Hope he get well soon.

I’ve had a few encounters with raccoons and every time I’ve ended up loosing blood lol. They were removed from the DWA back in October so now anyone can keep them now if they want.
Glad the one in your care is friendly

I'm surprised she's that calm too. We had a blind raccoon that would come up nightly cause we would feed him. His name is Archie and he's hibernating right now. He'll be up in another month or so hungry as can be. He and our other raccoon we had as a pet come up together. Oreo(she was our pet and we let her go) will come up to the door and scratch when she is hungry and no food is out for her. It's pretty interesting, she's almost adopted that blind coon, cause I always see them coming up together.

id really like to see them close up they look so cheeky it must be rewarding when you let them go and they return on there own accord

She's doing really well now. She looks like she's feeling better, she's been cleaning herself and getting around better than she was. Once it stops snowing here and warms up at least to the high 40's or 50's, we'll let her go. She gets out to the garage for a few hours a day and wanders around. It gives her some exercise, but she should still be hibernating. We are gonna try to get some liquid antibiotics down her tonight via some soft cat food. Her missing eye is looking 10 times better than a few days ago.

Here's two new pics of Jinx. She's doing good, eating well and sleeping alot. She didn't even get out of the cage today when I was cleaning it, but was fascinated with the paper towels. LOL!

are racoons intelligent they look it

They are very intelligent. She didn't take a day to figure out the litter pan use. They are so cool to watch eat, the pick everything up with their hands and roll it around and wash it before eating each piece. Their paws feel so soft, and almost act like a baby by grabbing your fingers and holding on to them. When I get her cage cleaned out tonight, I'll video her a little bit and put a link up for you guys to see it.

I found out today Jinx is not a she, but a he. He made it obvious today when he stuck his willy out to clean it.

We went to release the raccoon today and the weirdest thing happened. Jinx was acting like he wanted to leave since we have had the doors open and the fresh air has been hitting him. Since it's been nice, we figured we could go ahead and let him go if he wanted too. We've tried twice before to let him go and he didn't want too. This time he actually got out of the cage and we thought we would see him get to be free. Instead what we saw was Jinx walk out of the cage and onto the driveway, stand up, start foaming at the mouth and convulsing. It lasted all of a few seconds, but when he finally came too, he literally ran to me with a look of "hold me" and let me at least pet him to calm him down. He went str8 to the door to get back in and ran to the back hallway until we got the cage back in the house. He went right back in and went to sleep. I think we may have a new pet... I have to get his cage cleaned up later tonight so I'll get some more pics of him. His eye looks fantastic, healed up nicely.
