* Wear gloves to protect yourself from sharp claws.
* Keep the raccoon away from other pets.
* If the raccoon is injured, seek medical attention.
2. Provide a warm, safe place to sleep.
* A cardboard box, lined with a soft towel, is a good option.
* Place a heating pad under half of the towel so the raccoon can move away from the heat if desired.
3. Feed the raccoon a kitten formula.
* You can find kitten formula at most pet stores.
* Feed the raccoon small amounts, every few hours.
* To feed, place the kitten formula on your finger and gently bring it to the raccoon's mouth.
4. Offer water to the raccoon.
* Provide a shallow dish of water.
* Encourage the raccoon to drink water by gently dipping your finger in the water and bringing it to the raccoon's mouth.
5. Stimulate the raccoon to go to the bathroom.
* Gently rub the raccoon's belly with a warm, wet cloth.
* This will help to stimulate the raccoon to go to the bathroom.
6. Keep the raccoon's environment clean.
* Change the raccoon's bedding daily.
* Clean the raccoon's food and water dishes.
* Clean any areas where the raccoon has gone to the bathroom.
7. Socialize the raccoon.
* Once the raccoon is healthy, and old enough, and you have the proper permits and/or licenses, start introducing it to other people and animals.
8. Gradually let the raccoon spend more and more time outdoors.
* Once the raccoon is fully grown, it will need to be released into the wild.
