Poor momma, she's gonna be exhausted. Those sweet littles are adorable ❤🦝
I wonder if raccoons can count? She must be thinking I don't recall having this many, how did that happen.
He has said before they can't count. That's why they always come back one more time after the last baby to make sure she has them all.
It would be nice to give mom some food after she moves them all. She deserves a reward!
@@smc130 I know, right.
@@magicmarker7047 I was thinking the same thing. What happened ?? I only had four and now it seems to have doubled. That means double the work. God I am so very tried Maybe she is saying never again will I get pregnant. The hubby got me this way and now he’s gone having fun and I have all these babies.
I spent years rehabbing orphaned raccoons for release. Now I’m a widow & can’t do it on my own. Love seeing you rescue raccoons & allow them to stay with their mama and even find surrogates so they can be raised by the correct species & stay in the wild!
So, you Don’t believe they should allow them to grow and leave the nest and then close it? They have so much construction to do in those houses they don’t need to fix that spot as of yet.
I’m so sorry for your loss @1stKeeperofthe Hounds. You’ve already done so much for the wildlife you can be proud of your contribution Thank you. 🐾🦋🦋
@@LifeisEnergy2 they don’t have to let these wild animals stay somewhere where home owners don’t want it. Entitled ppl annoy tf out of me. Come and get them and put them in your house.
@@LifeisEnergy2 I don’t think that was a safe place for the raccoons or the workers. Mamas can be very protective & if the mama went after the worker it would be the mama & babies who would pay the price.
@@oldbat2ccats thank you!
Oh, that poor mother-- EIGHT babies!! But so wonderful that she took in the extra babies!!
I have a total new found respect for Raccoon moms! Although, mom was probably thinking "did I wake up with this many kids today?" Such great work you all do!! Love it!
God bless you and you will be rewarded for your kindness
Each moment we share is the creation of a memory
My love for you is the golden thread that w e a v e s through the fabric of my existence
@@user-rh9nh5dm1n You’re not real are you?
Wow! A rescue and an adoption all in one!❤ I think by the last one she was thinking, "Are they multiplying?!?😊"Very cool!
The strength and agility of raccoons absolutely amazes me. Not only was she able to do all the crazy climbing to get up there but then she does it getting down with the added weight of the baby. Must have been exhausting but she didn’t stop until she had each and every baby. Remarkable. Also the way she doesn’t hesitate about the new babies, she’s just like, whelp guess I have double the babies now 🤷♀️. You’re a total rockstar mama ❤.
So she adopted the other kits, that worked out pretty good I'd say😊
Wow, just wow. I was moved by how Mom simply accepted the orphans and made them her own. If only humans had that degree of acceptance and generosity!
I assumed the mom would maybe reject them going off their different scent. Mom cats usually reject going off the kittens different scent but the raccoon didn't even take time to have a sniff. Just took it away without hesitation. Amazing!
Have you seen the older video of the blind mama racoon. If not go back and watch it. That was amazing. Finding food climbing on roofs raising babies all from her memory from a time when she could see.
@@lawrencehaley1084 If this is not a wind-up then have you got a link or title description to go off. I defo want to see that. Please be real lol
@@eth2636 my cat was a surrogate to 2 kittens we found on the street many years ago. she sniffed them, looked at us in total shock then took them right in.
@@eth2636 I just searched “Gate’s Wildlife blind raccoon mom” lol because I hadn’t seen that one either but it came right up. The video is called “Blind mother thrives in urban jungle” and it’s wonderful 😊.
Thanks for what you do for the homeowners and for the wild animals. How fortunate you were able to find such a great raccoon mother.
Amazing footage. Eight babies, she will have her hands full. ❤
A mother is a mother no matter the species! There should be a Raccoon Mother's Day! I wonder if she's thinking "an hour ago I had 4 babies and now I suddenly have 4 more!?"
I’m so glad you updated us on the 4 orphaned babies and the happy introduction to their new mom and her 4 babies! Cassandra you are awesome to get into the spaces you have to to rescue wildlife. Your dad is so blessed to have a daughter to work with that has the same passion he has in safely rescuing wildlife. Thank you for videoing your adventures for all of us so that we can get a sneak peek on what humanely rescuing wildlife looks like! Kudos to you both and the rest of your team! GREAT JOB! 🥰
Mom might be bad at counting but she's dedicated.
😅 her math 🧮 ain’t mathing 🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝
Thoroughly enjoyed this thank you so much definitely give her mama of the year award.
I really like the way you act towards these precious creatures! One absolutely innocent curiosity: I understand the need to find another mum for the little orphans but isn’t it a lot to burden the surrogate mum with other 4 babies? How can she deal with that crowd of creatures in need? I know nothing about raccoons so believe me my question is not at all polemic. Thank you for what you do, I really appreciate it. 👍🏻👏🏻
Im pretty sure since they are older they are less of a burden then if they were all younger (eyes closed, can’t walk, only drinking milk etc.) i cant tell exact age from the video but they are atleast able to move on their own, eyes open and most likely also eating solid foods (bugs, human food waste, dead or small live animals, berries, nuts, etc.) so hopefully it won’t be too much of a bother.
Juvenile raccoons do stay with their family a bit longer than other species but thats even after they are entirely weened.
Im not super sure on how this might impact the mom since I haven’t worked with raccoons personally before (not allowed to work with rabies vector species yet) so im hoping these folks can reply with a better answer than i can give.
@@ghostboy4115your answer was pretty much spot on, one thing I seen is they do live in groups and take care of the young. I watch them all the time at work and have seen up to 10 babies being cared for by 3 females. I have been lucky as I got to learn a lot by watching their behavior over the last two years and seen and got to know two generations of Raccoons.
It’s nice to see someone that cares for wildlife. Sometimes wildlife needs us to Intervene and this was one time.
@@ghostboy4115 thank you so much for your kind reply. 👍🏻👋🏻
That’s what I was thinking like ISNT IT ALOT ON HER TO HAVE 4 extra babies
😊💜 Love your kindness to the raccoons! 😊💜
Awesome! Love that mom is so eager to get all the babies out even tho it was probably a bit confusing for her. Such a great mama!
6:45 the little feets reaching out! 😍 SO cute!! Oh my goodness. Such amazing moms they are!
Momma will need more nourishment. I sure hope with her taking on 4 more she gets some treats.❤️
Phenomenal footage. Love watching how you guys work and seeing the raccoon mamas moving and protecting their lil babies.
Very cool, I find they are way more maternal then we know. I get to watch them during the day and over night at my job, I find when they hear a baby cry they will all go running. They are also very protective of the young, one evening I seen an owl go after a baby, all the females went to the aid of the baby and scared the owl away.
What a great mother.
I hope she will be able to find enough food for herself to feed all those babies.
So I don't need any raccoons removed. But I watch these videos because the kindness of this company makes me cry. Makes me want to move to Canada. Yah!
Aaaawwww ❤ soooooo adorable .. the adoptee babies must be very hungry .. brilliant footage capture, thank you for wonderful shots .. loved 🥰 it ..
Great video! Sooo happy for the orphaned babies. Such strong instinct that mom had 🥰 good job guys 👏
Such an amazing climber. She's doing the trip with the babies, blind, and by memory.
Finally together.....I'm sure they all get so scared when they have to be moved. My heart goes out to these little innocent babies who have to be relocated ( again). Thank you for keeping them together! ❤️ ❤❤
I cried this whole video!!! what a wonderful momma!!
Last night i came across 3 baby raccoons and a very aggressive/scared mother and the edge of my yard while walking my dog after dark last night. My dog poked his nose into the nest and got the scare of his life. Been bingeing your videos now- first to realize that the kits are okay! And second to watch the rescues!
You can always leave fresh eggs out, 3 especially For Mama with her babies and especially in the wintertime and Cat kibble.
@@dancetilldawn484 I wish eggs weren’t so expensive where i live!! I gave them produce scraps and a couple cups of cat food at the edge of the nest and it was all gone this morning
@@dancetilldawn484 ...do you boil it first, or leave it raw?
2+2=8??? 😮
@@nrw7798 I leave raw eggs :)
What a brave, devoted mother, not failing to risk her own safety to rescue the little ones.
Thank you so much for this video. Loved the different camera positions. I just love your channel.❤
What a good momma!! She will be a fantastic saragate momma. Thanks for sharing.
That was one of your best videos I've ever seen before. The views you both got were amazing. Thanks so much for the second video on that. I have been patiently waiting for this one to come out.
So sweet that she took those other four, never in my life have I seen such a good mother.
Imagine how kind, healthy & beautiful our Nation would be if human mothers took the same care with their own children⁉️ Thank your re-homing these little orphans, I only wish you’d have given this momma a high calorie food care package as she just expended an enormous amount of energy between physically moving all those babies, the high stress situation & now feeding 4 extra babies that haven’t eaten in days! Bless you guys for being able to turn your compassion into making an honest living🙏🏼🦝❤️
Wow, that is an amazing video. To be able to see mom come back and forth for every single baby was incredible. Even the cute babies that she adopted. I just love your videos and how much you love what you do. I can really see how important you take your job to keep animals in nature together and safe.
Mama raccoons are a vibe on their own. I came home one night with my newborn nephew in the car crying. I got out and went to walk around to the backseat to get him out but, before could make it to his door, a huge raccoon dove onto the roof of the car, stood up on her back legs, screaming at me and straight up lunging at me if I got too close to the car. My pop heard me scream and ran outside. Fortunately, he knew exactly what was happening. He explained that it was a mama, who likely had babies in the garage, being protective of my nephew. My pop went through the house and turned on the light in the garage and distracted her long enough for me to grab the car seat and run in the house. I gained a whole new level of love & adoration for mama raccoons that night. And, pop was right, she had 4 little babies in the loft of the garage. I enjoyed watching them grow and start exploring on their own. I did this from afar, of course. ❤🦝
Mom of the year award for this one!
Amazing job! I love watching y'all work! 🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝
Fascinating! I have so many questions. Things I never thought about. Love it! Thank you for posting
The momma say dang I don't remember having that many babies. The way the baby put its paw over the face was so great.
My first time seeing this video, much appreciated ❣️🌺❣️
Precious!
Love this video, awesome to see this Motherly love❤️
That was awesome. Thanks!
I never get tired of watching your rescues/relocation. When you’re handling the little ones do they ever bite, all the videos I’ve seen from you I’ve never seen you get bit so I guess the baby raccoons are pretty docile and not aggressive. Keep up the good work. Mike from Montreal
I'm surprised at how well the orphan babies were, having been without their mum for a few days. They must have been starving
Mother certainly has her hands full and her work cut out for her feeding, protecting and caring for 8 hungry mouths ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah it never gets old. Always incredible. I love that you guys love what you do. You guys having the care is everything. Thank you for caring so deeply and so genuinely. I’m sure I’m not the only one that appreciates it. The wildlife appreciates it so much I know. Thank you wholeheartedly thank you.
I love mama raccoons. Thanks for all you do. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
You guys are so wonderful & careful with these babies & you do a great job. Thanks for all yiu do for these beautiful raccoons & their babies Great video thanks for sharing
This 2-part series is great theatre! It's your best video to date.
The feet and then its hand covering its eyes lol. Baby saying I can’t look and they won’t be able to see me 😂❤️
You guys do indeed have the best job in the world.
You have the second-best job in the world; first is ice cream tester at Ben & Jerry’s. Now if you could combine those two….. 😊
This was a re run! I’ve seen it before! Nothing wrong with watching it again and again and again!
Thank You for saving all of the babies! They have a new Mom! ❤️
It's not a dang rerun! It's a second part of the last video they posted with the orphan babies. They simply put some of the last footage in so viewers can follow. Now they're showing you the new family.
@@asleepbydawn137 I saw this video about a month ago! The orphaned babies plus the new Mom and all of the babies outcome and where they went! You don’t have to be rude about it! It’s a re-run, re-run!
I found you as I was researching what to do about a single baby raccoon orphan that was sleeping by an office I clean. He was younger than these baby’s and momma didn’t come back. I didn’t want to risk him taking off and being killed and he was not old enough to fend for himself.
I found someone that works at a vets office and has experience with raccoon rescue. She said he’s weak. He made it through the night and now he’s trying to get the bottle going. Fingers crossed he makes it.
Fun to see these healthy babies getting a new mom!! Never knew such a thing could happen.
That was great!!!!
Thank you for everything you guys do. Wholeheartedly thank you and everyone at your company. Truly grateful for people like you.
BRAVO Mama Raccoon! BTW, the BEST of the raccoon removal videos and appreciate all the extra footage. I knowst this isn't possible for all job sites. But is such a treat to see this length of video. Thank you from all of us! #TheLostFalcon_MarkOne->
I know this has to be a messy and dangerous (bites, scratches, falls etc) job, but it also looks like one of the best jobs ever. Wonders if you have to get rabbies shots like bat rehabbers do? I know you don't rehab them, but there is still that risk of scratching even.
Mother raccoon’s are amazing moms
She all of a sudden, has double the babies. Poor mama, though she is so determined to get all of them, she's probably exhausted. This was really neat to see, such an amazing little racoon mama.
What a lovely story to share! All of your videos warm the heart and create smiles. Thank you for making your job harder by taking the time to video. It is much appreciated and blesses us who get to watch.
That was amazing!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this video. Great job!
You know they all slept good after that...especially Mama! Good job everyone involved
What an amazing mama raccoon 🦝 ❤
You Guys are Awesome ..HELPING Animals that Need HELP..🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗😍😍😍
Fascinating work! So wonderful that mom took on 4 more babies
That was amazing! I love what you guys do! Amazing mom, too!
So beautiful to watch ❤
Incredible animals! What a great mamma. She took in the other babies! I'm just amazed. Thank you for your work with these animals.
Just love these videos gates! Hope I can enjoy them years to come! Thank you for what you do in true animal love!
Imagine getting evicted and adding more mouths to feed all in a day. What a trooper
Love it. Nice to watch real time!
This was absolutely AMAZING to watch! How long did it take for her to move all 8 babies? It didn't look like it took much time, even with the edits. Also, I've always wondered (I've even Googled it) how the moms can grab and carry their babies without puncturing them with her teeth? Thanks for all you do!!!
I think they might have a scruff of loose fur around their necks like cats and dogs
❤❤❤❤
Greating from Italy
And get old watching you guys! Loved the way you filmed this one! Pretty cool! Great job with them!
Can’t wait for new videos,have watched all episodes. Thank you for what you do. We need more ppl that care as much as you and your family and workers. God Bless
❤Thanks a million for the assistance + allowing mom to do what she needs to do as a mom.Good she accepted the new babies under her care. She's a super mom❤💯✌️🏆🏆🏆
That mother raccoon said I know y’all lying I ain’t have this many kids 🤣
Sooooo adorable!❤
I love these, sitting here watching with the BIGGEST smile on my face.
Also, thank you guys for doing what you do and allowing us to come along and watch! It’s amazing!! I found you today, and am binge watching!!(:
thank you for what you do! Amazing people like you make the world a better place to live.
Beautiful that the mama took in the babies. My heart is gonna explode
You guys are heroes! Love you!
OUTSTANDING VIDEO AND FOOTAGE!! THANK YOU GUYS FOR WHAT YOU DO!!
As smart as Raccoons are, I thought she would have kept a count. Amazing she accepts them so easily.
What a good mama!
That was the most awesome video! I bet she was exhausted after moving all those babies but well worth it. Never surprises me what us mothers will do for our babies 😊 love love love your videos!❤❤❤
I live in Philadelphia Pennsylvania in the US. Own a corner house a block away is a large park called Fairmount Park. I've lived here for twenty-eight years and have cats and dogs and I've always had cat kibble and raccoons come through. The mothers visit n bring their babies through. And one of the babies came back as a mother this spring and she dened in my house accessing it from my third-story roof. I had a bricked off stove vent and I could hear the babies on the first floor and I fed her and kept her close to my house. I didn't want her getting hit by a car, I didn't want anything to happen to the babies. I would have had to have demolition into the brick to get them out and the brick is expose which I did back in the 90s. After two months she left under the cover of night with her babies on Mother's Day weekend. I still leave eggs and kibble out for her I haven't met her babies. I don't know how many babies she had but I know that she was getting hungry and she was coming out three times a day. With this surrogate mother how is she going to feed nine babies are they going to be getting close enough to the age to start foraging with her because she's going to run the risk of exposing herself to getting hit or trapped because she's going to need to forage for extra food to feed all those mouths. That's why I fed a lot of food consistently out for Mama Madonna I didn't want anything to happen to her. I have pictures of her when she was a baby and visited my backyard. I hope they will make it I wish people would just let the mother's just stay for the two months that they need. I learned so much from your videos while I had the mother raccoon in my house and she was coming up and down a ladder and then getting her way up to the third floor. She trusted me enough to know that she would safely have food and shelter. So intuitive, instinctive and devoted and just tireless the way she went up to three stories and then went head-first all the way back down three stories a few times a day. You can check out some of the videos at the following #MamaMadonnaMolina #molinacompound #casademolinaurbanwildlifeseries
So beautiful,Ty for sharing
This is So Great the Mama accepted the 4 Babies you brought as her own! Its Fantastic!!
Fantastic!!!!!! Thank you❤❤❤❤❤
This was so beautiful ... thank you for sharing
This was so awesome to watch. She was so quick it makes me wonder if she relocated to a close neighbour or something. Nothing you can control. But in such a residential area it makes you wonder when she has been so quick. But also this is one animal that will take other babies. That is so nice to see considering other animals may know the scent of her own and may leave them or hurt them even. So it was awesome to watch thanks again for all you do and to show us this. They are so cute. Do you know why they accept other babies? And they don’t know that they really aren’t hers?
That was so awesome. Thank you!
It's amazing how she knew what was happening, she probably was relocated by you before. Too bad there isn't a park, place to have as some kind of sanctuary or something, eventually spaces for alternative dens will runout: this isn't the first time where the mom knew what to do.
Do you ever try to find where the 2nd location is? Just to make sure that it's in a safe and secure place? It had to have been close by in order for her to be that quick. Sending light and love to that Momma and all her babies. ❤❤❤
