My Uncle Otis used to catch raccoons ( ages ago),
following the same routine of taking them home, putting in cages outside.
Told me and cousin Stuey not to play with the raccoons.
As soon as he got into his old blue pick-up and headed into town, we got em out of the cage, into the house and had so much fun watching them clean: apple cores, cigarette butts, change----actually anything got cleaned by the raccoon. We thought it was funny watching the adolescents antics.
All the raccoons escaped back to the wild and my Uncle probably recaught the same ones on each succeeding hunt.
I really don't advise handling a raccoon, by the way, because you can get rabies.

my friend, i sadly have to report to you it was my duty to my neighborhood to dispatch a diseased racccoon y-day by running it over w/ my car when it threatened our welfare. it was clearly diseased or dying and needed to be disposed of.
However, some years ago i was blessed to have saved life of, and enjoyed the company of a crow, who through her brief lifespan, was appreciative of my efforts and is missed, yet to this day , loved as a contact with nature and a blessing upon my understanding of it.

Me, never did that...but, I have a cousin that found a squirrel that had fallen out of the tree as a baby and he took care of it until it could be released again. He kept it in his shirt pocket when he first found it to keep it warm. It would still come to the door to get food when it got bigger and was released, but did well.
