Wild animals can be as affectionate and loyal as family pets. They sense their human love and kindness for them, so they are happy to let them come to their life. Their humans are special existence in their hearts, and these animals just want to protect it as long as possible.
At that time, cases like Little Hands faced several scenarios. "Leave it alone and let nature take its course,’ or ‘You can take it to a vet and they will have to euthanize it,’” Nikki Robinson, who works in wildlife rehabilitation.
As Robinson was a working full-time, she asked her mom, Linda, a semi-retired for help. Reluctant at first but Linda finally became the raccoon's foster mom. She could bottle-feed the animal up to five times a day.
Little Hands was rescued and adopted in early June, and by the end of the summer, the healthy boy was ready to strike out on his own. This was where he belonged to.
The kind and sweet raccoon just wants to visit his beloved mom and ask for hugs, belly scratches, and of course, some of his favorite snacks.
“[My mom] has a porch swing where she sits outside, and he would come up and literally crawl onto the swing and sit beside her and just want his butt and chin scratched,” Robinson said. “He wanted his snuggles, then he’d have his food and wander off.”
“Every day, she sits outside and waits, and even when they’re grown up, they’ll visit her and she just lights up and she just loves it,” Robinson said. “They love her, too — she’s just Mom.”
