The PCM helped Raccoon Lady with a rescue of 5 little kits [baby raccoons] found on James Island. Two were just days old and three were a few weeks. Let me tell you, these little guys can be a handful, and being a mama coon is hard work. Of the two who were days old, one was in bad shape and this little brother didn't make it--there were tears in the night. We figure it's better to die in a warm hand than on the cold ground, so maybe there was some good done even in a lost cause. After little brother left, the little sister had to be held. Otherwise, she cried, and it ain't possible to sleep with a crying coon in the house. It's also hard to sleep with a moving ball of fur on your chest, but you can't be mad at a poor girl who lost her mom and brother on the same day. All four survivors are safe and sound at St. George facility of Keeper of the Wild. Pictured is one of the older guys.
