A resident on one of my properties came home last night to find what she thought was a kitten on her doorstep, but upon closer observation it turned out to be a baby raccoon. It's not a newborn, but we really can't determine its age. It looks like a regular raccoon . . . just smaller. This particular complex has a wooded area behind it and a mother and four baby raccoons were spotted earlier, so we feel certain it's part of that group. The residents have been leaving cat food out for it but the raccoon won't let anyone close enough to get a good look at it.
I'm wondering if it's lost. Should I try to trap it and put it back in the woods behind the property? It's been hanging out on the third floor breezeway of the complex because folks are feeding it. Personally, I'm afraid for its safety. So many people think that every raccoon out there has rabies.
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much.
