Go to an animal hosptial and they'll give you the formula.
no there isn't but you can buys canned cats milk in most pet stores it's in a powder form it has to be bottled fed to young to be away from mom or fend for it's self if you feel you can't care for it call animal control they will take it in and care for it god bless
You can feed it kitten formula. The following web address can give you detail instructions and alternatives. If he is close to weaning and you begin giving him solids keep a bowl of water next to the food. They like to moisten the food before they eat it. My cousin keeps a small kids pool and they wash their food in it


My dad does it all the time. He's kind of a Grizzely Adams guy. And as they get older they are notorious for getting into trouble. Good luck
I would think any baby formula would do. But you better be thinking about this.... IF you plan to keep it,.have it tested for rabies as soon as you can.





IF you've never had a full grown coon in your house your in for a wild ride.. They are snoopy'er that a cat and can get into EVERYTHING !!
You are right to want to return it to the wild, at least eventually. Raccoons do not grow up to be tame creatures. I agree that the Humane Society would be able to make sure that it gets what it needs, including reintroduction to the wild, when it's ready. ...


Aren't creatures a delight?! Especially babies!
