A few tips to try to get a raccoon to move her babies on her own. Do Not kill, trap, relocate . Most pest control companies are required to kill raccoons once trapped. If you have a raccoon in your attic. Most likely she has babies. If at all possible let her raise her babies and she will move on. Once mom has taken her babies away. Secure the access entry point so this will not happen again. Thank you for caring and not killing mom and babies. You can post in one of the raccoon groups if you need advice on this issue.

As a wildlife rehabilitator for over 10 years, I know that this is not a good idea. People can hardly take proper care of their cats and dogs. I love raccoons, but they should stay in the wild. They can carry a deadly roundworm as well as canine, feline, and mustelid diseases. If raccoons become pets, we will see a rise in dangerous and deadly diseases. Yes there are a few people that can and do know how to care for them but there will be so many who do not. Then the animal will either be released unable to care for himself or taken to a rehabilitator to care for.

Kansas lawmakers are considering a proposal that would allow Kansans who obtain raccoon ownership permits to keep the animals as pets.

They come to her. They find her instinctively ... the strays, the abandoned, the traumatized, the lost and the wounded.
It isn't because of the sign on her door, but the love in her heart. She's a rescuer, a friend to animals and people.
It's her calling from above to make it safe and love them whole. And she does. Jody Doty

DID YOUR DOG FIND A RABBIT’S NEST? Not sure what to do? We have you covered!

It’s actually a very common situation. Rabbits frequently make their nests out in the open. They are simply shallow depressions in the ground covered with mom’s fur and dead grass.

It doesn’t take much for someone’s dog to sniff out what’s going on. Once your dog knows where the nest is, your pet is going to have a hard time leaving it alone.

Baby cottontails only need 3 weeks to become old enough to make it in their own. Wild rabbits generally DO NOT do well in rehabilitation. The best bet is to keep them with mom. If your dog has discovered the nest, but hasn’t caused harm to the babies, there is a way to keep everyone happy and safe!

Simply stake down a laundry basket over the nest before you let your pups out. Once they have had their fun (or finished doing their business) remove the laundry basket so mama can access her babies. She does this only twice a day.

It’s only for a few weeks and it can save some precious, adorable, little lives! Please spread the word! We know this is a common problem.
FYI. The bunnies pictured are very close to. Being on their own.

We did get some donations for cat food, but always need more. Plus litter seems to always be needed. As well as hay for bunnies.
Here is our list.
