Today, we would like to tell you the story of Elio, a courageous raccoon who, despite limited mobility, leads a happy life at a wildlife sanctuary. He was born in a house in Florida. The homeowner noticed a mother raccoon coming and going. As we learned: “Elio was born in someone’s attic. The homeowner had the mother trapped and relocated.” Four days later, the man living in the house heard some chattering in his attic, unaware that there were babies left behind.
We reached out to the Samadhi Wildlife Sanctuary, a nonprofit organization that rescues and rehabilitates Florida native wildlife, who rescued the raccoon. We were also told that: “Unfortunately, the homeowner didn’t realize that she had babies, so 3 of her babies died and Elio was the only survivor!” The reason all the siblings had passed away was due to malnourishment.
