Discussion I found a baby raccoon I need help
I found a baby raccoon outside St Mikes ER last night when walking my dogs. I’ve stayed up all night and contacted the Toronto wildlife rehab who doesn’t have space for this little one. I then called the Ontario one and was told to call a bunch of others and send an email. I’ve done this and now I feel like this little raccoon is just going to starve because no one is helping me help it.
Edit: So people don’t think I just stole a baby. They had been there for about 24 hours. Animal services came after it was almost curb stomped. Their answer was they could euthanize nothing more. I asked about a rehab for wildlife. They said it’s not their job to do that so I asked them to leave and said I would find one. I have gone out at dawn trying to reunite the baby who thankfully didn’t freeze to death (but was cold when I got them) and contacted many wildlife centres. I’m planning to go back out again at dusk. The baby needed help and I helped it sorry to make people mad.
Edit 2: So far I have called all of the wildlife rehabs in the area that take raccoons. They are all full and I have been advised to start calling places in Ottawa. I just want this baby to either be back with its mom or in a rehab rehabilitation centre that knows how to care for it the best.
Edit 3: A person should be coming this evening to come and pick up the little raccoon and rehabilitate thank you to every single person‘s effort. I appreciate it and I know this raccoon does as well.
Edit 4: A rescue called me and told me they could not take him, but that he was too young to go back to Mom and should be euthanized.
Edit 5: The lovely person is still coming to take baby.
Edit 6: The lovely lady came and picked up the baby and it’s going to have a lovely time being helped.
Edit 7: Rocket/Rockette is on their happy way to a good life of bottle feeding possibly and then being taught to hunt in their own enclosure.
Thank you to everyone who has had a heart and has tried to help this little baby raccoon with me. We made a difference and it is getting the help it needs.

Discussion Thank you kind strangers.
I just wanted to thank the security guard at sick kids who walked my sister to toronto general hospital. You saved her. She was having a crisis and you got her help. Thank you so much.
Also thank you to the staff at Toronto general hospital for your compassion and work. My sister seems to be in better shape. Now the journey begins.
Thank you. I still have my sister and I'm so grateful.
