You are such a good person and will be blessed - the little raccoons are lucky they were in your area for you to be there to take care of them and take them to the appropriate place. You are

There must have been some reason she didn't return. It sounds like they are in good hands.

It's too bad momma didn't come back for the rest of them, but at least they are in good hands.

A Mother Raccoon decided to have her litter in the attic of one of my apartments I manage. She found her way there through a hole in the roof that she made. We found her and her 4 "just born" cuties. We had to remove them though as we have rain coming tomorrow evening and we have to close the hole in the roof to protect my tenant in the unit beneath. I contacted the local WIld Life and he told me to put the babies in a shallow box near the tree Momma had climbed. After a few hours Momma came and took 1 of the babies. Since then, the temp has dropped so we had to put a heating pad under a towel and under the babies to keep them warm. The wild life person also told me to keep them outside as Momma will return for them. I sure hope so,,, It is supposed to get down in the low 40's tonight,, and we keep watching for cats and other animals for the little babies safety. I sure hope he is right and they make it till the Mother returns. Mother Nature can be so tough to watch.. not an easy life for these creatures. I am such an animal lover and it is taking everything I have to not bring them in the house and care for them,,,, but I know this is best... come on Momma Raccoon, Your babies are hungry!! I will update tomorrow on the status of these adorably cute babies. Hugs,,,, Kathy

I am happy that the three are ok and will be returned to the area.
Sadly to say, Momma Raccoon never returned! We took the 3 babies to the WIld Life Organization in our area. They will hand feed these tiny little ones and once they are old enough, they will return them to our area once again. I am sad that they were not reunited with the Mom, but am grateful that 1 is with her. It was a long night (up till 4 caring for these and watching for Mommy). I think we will sleep good tonight knowing they are in a safe place getting the care and treatment they need to get the best chance at a healthy life. Hugs to all.... I am off to bed.
