You need to contact a local wildlife rehabilitator or your SPCA (they will know how to get in touch with the proper people). First, it is against the law to keep wildlife, and second without proper care they rarely survive. They need special attention in regards to diet, stimulation to urinate and defecate.How long do you feed a baby racoon from the bottle?
Please call your local animal control office. They will be in touch with a shelter to take your raccoon to. To be sure, ask before you submit your information.
Raccoons are tricky with their needs- and as they get older, they can become aggressive- even the hand raised babies.
A friend of ours hand-raised 2 who's mom was killed by a car- but is a biologist. It was a lot of work. If they are handraised- they will not do well when you release them- they will go to the nearest human. Animal control will help to get them to a shelter who will send them somewhere to raise- and then release again in a safe habitat.
Call animal control-
Here are some links for info as well:

Dehydration is very common in orphan raccoons when they are first found. A baby raccoon that is 5% dehydrated needs to get about 4-5% of its body weight of balanced fluids injected over an 8-hour period
I hope it works out well for the coon!
Take care!
I think you may need to post in another area.
