Racoons in the Found Cat Hotel!!! Miquelito My Little Orange Lion a Hero!!!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

OMG! Gary do you have an animal control office you can call? Those things are indeed dangerous to you and the cats too. That they weren't afraid to come inside really concerns me. Please be careful.

I will have to wait until Tuesday to call. this being a long weekend , and my neighbor the contractor is going to reinforce the entire porch with heavy duty privacy lattive and there will be no more free lunches , sad for The Porch Cats.
I wonder if the Racoons killed the Earl of Ebony?

[momcat]

I'm frightened to hear that one of the racoons actually got in! Thanks to your neighbor for being kind enough to do the repairs. Many prayers are being prayed in Trenton for your safety as well as your beloved kitties and your neighbors.

I'm surprised your local wildlife office or animal control doesn't have a stand-by for emergencies such as this. Here in Trenton there's always a crew on call. Please let us know how this plays out. If there's anything your PT friends can do to help you out, be sure to let us know.

Mioquelito , Coon Buster is a little sad that he is receiving no Kudos after chasing away taht Big Racoon, and risking his life to save the Found Cat Hotel Ctas and his Pawpie!!!
He got a whole Tony Romas Beef Rib and hopefully ConCatUlations from His Snoopy Dearest!!

Aw, tell Mioquelito he is indeed a brave boy for chasing off that raccoon. I was just so upset about hearing that it got in I forgot to mention it.

I'm glad he got an extra treat for his bravery! I am just so glad that thing didn't bite him or you or anyone of the others.

Gary, I just read this now. Of course Miquelito is a hero! He protected his entire family from that racoon! How brave his little heart is! Give him mucho kisses from me. Miquelito, you are my hero!

Miquelito, you are a knight in shining armor! You saved your family!

That is sad for the Porch Cats, but I agree with the others who posted that you don't want to risk your health or that of the Found Cats. How nice that your neighbor will reinforce the porch for you. I hope there is something the city can do.

My dad spotted four raccoons climbing one of the trees in their back yard in broad daylight. He called the city offices for trapping and got put on a waiting list !

I was talking to my neighbor who is a contractor and he says that the Racoons are seen going into the house next door , theres a hole near their chimney and roof.

I am going to report this to the authorities and let them handle it.
Meanwhile Miquelito is Our Hero Cat!!
If only someone would let his Snoopy Dearest know how brave he is, it would make his day

Oh Gary, how scary!!! I hope that Miquelito will be super careful when it comes to battling raccoons! We don't want him to get hurt!!

Scritchies and belly rubs to Miquelito for his bravery, and good wishes for the authorities in charge of wild animals to getting their butts in there to do what they need to do in a short amount of time!!

[catmandu]

Cassie , you are so right!
A racoon is much stronger, and more battle savvy than any Cat, and had things gone wrong I could have had a badly wounded Miquelito on a Sunday Night with no Vets open and no way to get him to an Emergency Vet.
His heart was in the right place as he thought that that Racoon was getting too close to Michael and Pouncierge.
He was awe inspiring and puffed up to twice his size he looked like Battle Cat

Hi Gary, How is your situation with the racoons? I hope that by now they've relocated on their own or animal control was able to remove them.
