- Living in a retirement community can be peaceful and relaxing, but it can also bring unexpected visitors. For one homeowner, she found herself with a mother raccoon and her babies living inside her window well. As much as she loved having them so close, she was also worried about going into her own backyard.
That's when she called Gates Wildlife, a professional wildlife control company that specializes in the humane removal of wildlife. Responding to the call, the team quickly assessed the situation and devised a plan to safely remove the raccoon family from the window well and reunite them.
In this heartwarming video, you can see the entire process unfold as the team carefully lifts each raccoon out of the window well and places them safely in a heated reunion box. But the story doesn't end there! The team also captures the mother returning for her babies later that day.
Watch the video now to witness this heartwarming rescue and reunion, brought to you by Gates Wildlife.
Please give this video of thumbs up if you enjoyed it!

Poor Mum, she looked so worried and timid…when she reached up for the baby you could see how scared she was. I hope she is okay with all that missing fur. I really appreciate how gentle and careful you are with them…they just want a safe place to live.🖤🇨🇦
Yes she is worried her babies are ok
Yet if a person did die that night because the cover was screwed in you know who is going to jail besides being sued?
@@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307 Even with it screwed in, a human could break through that mesh readily…just not a raccoon.🖤🇨🇦
once again so heatbreaking, ,mom looked so scared and worried,.
5:25 She is like "Cmon, I just gave birth yesterday, let me lie down at least a little in peace." She looks very scared and worried.
I know they are doing the most humane thing but it still breaks my heart for the mamma. She's so scared and just wants to be with her babies.
Right
I know, right? Wasn’t that a perfect spot for them! Nice and cozy…I hope her other den is adequate…
Yep. If they just didn’t break into people’s homes dropping feces and stuff and chewing through wires and leaving their homes exposed so other animals could get in then they could stay. I’m pretty sure as long as their other den site isn’t someone else’s home it’ll be adequate for her and her babies. She did look so cute lying on her babies keeping them warm though.
@@beautifulsurprise9424we are the ones encroaching on wildlife and destroying their habitat, not the other way around.
Nothing in this world worse than vile human sh*t.
Bald spot from mating? F like a raccoon!
I miss my racoon. He loved coconut cookies. I hope mom and babies live happily ever after.
The mother racoon is people friendly. She probably has some friends somewhere!❤
The fact she is being so calm and not hissing or whatever really shows the trust she wanted to give. You guys were being so gentle too helped.
Она может такой инфантильной быть из за явных проблем со здоровьем,не шипит ,не признак дружелюбия,
She’s obviously used to humans. Hopefully she recovers well and her babies grew up healthy. Thank you for recovering them all safely. ❤
She is so sweet her disposition is absolutely charming all she needs is her fee and some shots and I will adopt her and the babies and they can stay in my nephews bedroom in the center of his bed.
He will be quite surprised when he gets back and goes upstairs
The fur loss on her could be from crawling under fence.
I rescued a raccoon when I was a kid. He didn't have eyes opened. I feed it with doll bottle.
Snooks was his name. Boy can I tell stories on Snooks. Got into alot of trouble le over that coon.
Snooks didn't know that it was a raccoon. He thought he was a dog because that's what kept him safe while at school.
One day we ran to the store. Back then you didn't even close your front door. When we got home Snooks had gotten into the kitchen. They heard my mom scream 2 streets over. Snooks had sugar and flour everywhere. Dad built a cage whenever he got home. Had to lock him up while at school.
I could go on and on with stories of Snooks.
At 5 I Finally had to set him free at my uncles. He kept beating up the dogs in the neighborhood.
I loved that coon. He slept with me. I sat outside to eat so Snooks could have a bite.
I cried for days over Snooks.😢
But what sweet memories of Snooks you have, Pam. I bet your friends were jealous 😊.
Awww Snooks lived a good life because of you!❤
I hope he was ok in the wild! I would have been heartbroken too
@@jenstacey7743 He got hit by a car. My uncle skinned it . I have his fur in my closet.😭
Bless you
Ahhh, my heart broke for the mama. She looked confused and afraid. Poor little Angel. She has a beautiful face…….Thank you so much for being so loving and kind! Blessings, Susan
i love watching you guys , the way you handle each wild life case is so unique this Mumma raccoon looked as though she was quite young and wasn't that scared of humans .the way you guys talk calmly to them when taken the baby's to remove them form the building is so sweet in a way i think this helps them know that they aren't in danger its just they cant stay where they are keep up with the great work you are doing for these animal's xx
Believe me, older urban racoons have little fear of people. They are not nasty but if you try to shoo them away from your garbage containers they just look annoyed. Like you're wasting their valuable time.
First mama that wasnt scared and ran. She was so sweet.
Ohhhh )))) the babies and the mother are SO sweet ))) 🤗🤗🤗
I just love these little furballs, I have a bunch at work that visit me every shift. The ones now are the kids from last April so with me they are friendly as they trust me, with the others they will run and hide which is good.
Ahh they’re so precious ❤ Thank you for sharing!
Raccoons are so amazing & very good loving mothers
Even though I knew what you were doing I still felt upset when you lifted her baby out. The pain I felt for her was really strong. , She felt so helpless laying there with her babies lost no knowing what to do. Thank god it was friend's who were looking after her and her babies. It's a pity the house owner didn't have the same attitude or feelings concerning the wildlife where they live. Attitude should be let's make our wounded planet well again. Start small but aim big. 🐾☘️
I love the way you treat everyone of the animals you come in contact with. You both r good good people. Thank you for what you do.
WOW, unusual Mom. Dad forgot to wear his voice box!! LOL Could barely hear him. Oh well, still LOVE your show!
This one may be my all time fave, and that's REALLY saying something! Great job, Team.
Your heated box looks like just big enough to get her front in to retrieve the babies, but not big enough to allow her to take up residence. I'm assuming that's by design.
In one of their vids the mom did come back and take up residence and was there the next day. Free rent and utilities. 😅 They gave her an extra day and she took her babies and left.
We had a raccoon get under a cedar shake shingle and into our attic. They have alot of hair and can squeeze into small spaces. We were wondering why we were seeing the mom in broad daylight drinking out of our bird bath with us sitting right there. She did $600 worth of damage to our roof taking them out. We thought we were hearing birds till the babies got mobile and we scheduled to have "squirrels" removed. Never suspected it was that larger-looking raccoon.
I always like watching how you deal with the situations you find. You are just so nice and concerned about the animals. Thank you 😊.
Wonderful!!!!!!!
Thank you for taking such great care of these precious animals. God bless you! 🙌 if that was my window well I would let her live there with her babies. She's not hurting anything. She would move her babies once they get older. Raccoons don't stay in the same place for long. She's only there protecting her babies because they were just born. Poor mamma! Thank God she came back and got her babies! Thank you for showing the trail cam footage! Raccoons are so smart to know how to open the door of the box!
You guys are awesome!
Thanks once again for another amazing video.
Beautiful momma and her babies i love raccoon❤🦝
Uk here, i love watching youe videos, thanks for what you do
Awww so cute the momma and her babies, I enjoy watching your video..
Heated box - great, helps to keep babies more relaxed during the relocation.
Your beautiful..i think it’s amazing how good you treat the animals..
Super cool video!
blessed are those who help God's creatures...
Amen!!!!!❤❤❤
There's a place in Heaven for you guys. And I'm not even religious. Really appreciate the work you do.
so sweet )))))
Best generation switch I have ever seen, damn you both, you do an amazing work
I love watching these videos, love how carefully all animals are handled by them .... 👍
I was worried that mama may be sick (the loss of hair). Are there ever circumstances when you would call a wildlife rescue to help?
She looked like a mange problem.
They are wildlife rescue and they have places they take injured or sick animals.
Such pretty markings on the mama raccoon. Her hair loss looks like old age and trying to get through small openings.
Old age??? 😂
Wonderful video!
Well done. Interesting!
Looking forward to more new video's soon.
Awww ❤❤❤❤❤😭😭😭😭
Interesting, I wouldn’t have expected a girl to want to crawl into all of these spaces, I can’t get young guys to do this kind of work. Well done.
Her father grew up with a love of animals. I’m sure that’s all she’s ever known as well. It doesn’t seem like work to her. She just gets to play with wildlife all day and then go home.
@@beautifulsurprise9424 Still impressive.
@@maxxwellbeing9449 Agreed. I’m impressed by anyone who wants to do this job whether it be a man or woman.
@@beautifulsurprise9424 Me too.
Beautiful family. Om
Mohandas her babies
I love the way you remove animals with care for both them, and the homeowners. You dad must be very proud that you will carry on his business well into the future. Raccoons are cute animals, and a breed that I have never seen in my city (probably because it is too cold in Saskatchewan?).
Your videos are very kind
Mom did not appear that afraid of humans. Perhaps she has some human friends. Thank you.
I would love to feed and fatten her up. Give her a nice warm bath. Treat her for fleas and give her her shots and adopt her
They are just so cute. And this one made me feel sorry for Mum and her babes lol. Poor little mama. It I am glad that they were moved humanely and I love watching your episodes. Spring has arrived. Looking forward to your busy time with babies.
This is heart breaking. I feel so bad for the momma. I hope she finds a safe and warm place quickly.
I know me too 😭😭
SHE'S JUST MOLTING.
Watching this video made me realize we have raccoon babies in our attic now. I knew there must be a raccoon because I saw one early one morning then heard something heavy and smelled a horrible odor. But I heard what I thought were baby birds as I sat on the front porch. I couldn't see a nest, but the sound is coming from the soffit just over the flowerbed. Our porch is covered. When I watched this tonight and heard them crying that's the same exact sound I was hearing on the porch. 😭 We just don't have the money to call our regular critter catcher. So for those of you who don't want them moved, be glad. I'm just afraid of them causing a fire. Our lights have been on the fritz for months and I know both the mama and some squirrels have been in the attic. 😒
Can you call your city & see if there are any resources available or maybe post something asking for help? Wish you the best!❤
If you call the city, they usually euthanize them 😢
... why am I 😢 crying...?
Nice Video!
Poor mama doesn’t understand! She was just loving her babies, minding her own business and keeping them warm! So what the heck?
Do they know of other dens to take her babies once they are removed from the unwanted den?
They have said in previous videos that raccoons have one or two alternative den sites setup for emergencies.
They have alternate den sites picked out before they give birth because they know their prime site could be compromised by predators, nature (flooding, etc.) and could even be rendered unusable because of fleas, mites, and other parasites.
Wow momma was not agressive in anyway pretty neat she trusted you
raccoons can stand!😮
Great videos! My 3 year old granddaughter loves them and has decided that she wants to be either an animal doctor or what you guys do.
Awww I love this! Wish her the best!!❤
She needs to be taken to wildlife rehab. She looks unhealthy. I’ve taken raccoons to Blue Ridge Wildlife Center here. I had one who looked like she does sleeping on my porch. I called animal control and the dispatcher said they’d put him down. I said no thanks, trapped him in a trap release trap and took him to the wildlife center. You what they diagnosed him with? Lice. She also looks like she has lice. She needs help.
Great work! What would happen if the mother did not come back? Would the babies go to a wildlife rehaber? Also, Is it normal to see due missing like that on the mother? It looked like a thin coat?
Poor thing😢.
I always said it,, if I ever find an abandoned baby raccoon I'm going to be it's foster parent 🦝🩶🤍🖤
The markings and the way she ambled away indicate to me that she is older. I am really concerned she might have mange. Really hope that’s not the case. Does Gates have any protocol for helping any sick or injured wildlife they encounter?
Mom be like:
“Okay fine you can have ONE baby, I know they’re cute, I made em myself, thank you!”
“Ugh, okay fine… two babies. That’s it”
“You’re a bit greedy but three is the final amou- HEY NO TWO FOR ONE DEALS! Geez, this is getting ridiculous!”
Lol love this!😂❤
See this is why universal Healthcare doesn't work clearly that racoon is a little bit sick but due to all the lines and wait period she isn't able to get the help she needs. I hope she goes to the doctor soon. I think she's a very pretty racoon and she deserves the best for her and her babies.
I really wish you guys were down here in Ohio.
You want racoons out of your house? Through a small radio into the area tuned to the most hard rock station in your area. Racoons hard noise. They will leave.
I love how we've got the glove shots of the bebés in the thumbnails now. 😂😂😂
I.think gates wildlife should take that mom in to the vet to make sure she's not sick..I hope it's not the mange
Did you get that poor mama and her babies out? My heart breaks for her as she tries to protect her family. You can see by her fur that she hasn't had an easy life. The fear she must be feeling really makes me sad. I pray you got her out with her family and that she is taken some place safe with food. 😥😥😥❤️❤️❤️🦝🦝♥️
Mom has tremendous instincts from millions of years of evolution and she knows the area in detail. She is far from helpless.
I feel like these people need to bring them to a vet when the animal doesn't look healthy like this one.
The fur loss was from squeezing under wooden fences and other tight spots. The was no sign of mange or injury. She did have an unusually small face but that's probably just genetics.
Isn’t a heating pad too hot even on low? Well, you guys obviously know what you’re doing. Good job!
She looks like, 'what fresh hell is this?'
Es una mamá muy tímida muy tierna, espero logren sobrevivir a donde vayan.
سبحان الله الذي خلق كل شي ف هذا الحياة
Она не портила дом, жила в углублении, никому не мешала😢
У неё плохое состояние здоровья, шерсть облезла
This one is hard to watch that raccoon was so docile and just wanted safety she’s had a rough life… now there’s no telling where she will end up and possibly harmed by not so nice people or wildlife control.
They have tremendous amount of instinct and millions of years of evolution to insure their survival. Also they know the area extremely well.
Un buén trabajo sería llevarlos al campo, al bosque, ahí se meteran en otra casa. 💟
I have ZERO sympathy or compassion for Raccoons/Wildlife that invade peoples property, but this one touched me. Moms face, while covering her babies, trying to keep them warm and safe was so heartwarming.
Nice to see you kindly remove them
BUT I live on a farm
Every year raccoons destroy a number of acers of my field corn
As soon as ears form the raccoons tear off the ears and maybe eat a bite if it isn't ripe enough
Then move to another stalk and do the same
Raccoons were rare in most of the Eastern USA till farmers started raising crops to feed us
Now they are a PEST and cost me thousands of dollars a year
I do fight back and get crop damage permits to catch and remove as many raccoons as we can
They do not go to waste as the Bald Eagles , Coyotes and Turkey Buzzards all eat well
Yes, they are a problem many places. Have you tried masking your fields by growing 'less desirable' plants on the outskirts of the fields?
Completely switching crops is probably not an option.
@@norwegiangadgetman That would be TOUGH
As the fields are 200 to 400 acers , I farm 3000 acers
The worst fields are the ones that border the creeks
As I have CPR land there that has not been planted in 20 years
So there is a area of trees that the wildlife thrives
@@johnharder5618 Yeah, that might be a tad problematic. And a raccoon-proof fence to ring everything would be costlier and more flawed than the Great Wall of Trump. Wish I could have some good advice for you.
How often do you see it where she’ll just move them into another attic?
Never saw a raccoon with a loss of fur
Poor MoM!
9:15 I have to stop righ here. She has mange, and needs rescue and rehab.
That looks like scarring, not the scabs I've seen that mange victims have. It's not nice, and probably causes her some distress, but taking her in for treatment would be very stressful for her.
She probably just moved to another window well. Repeat business. 😅
The plastic screen is easy to get off how I know is been there ,done that. 😂
Мама не здорова ,у нее кожный клещ скорее всего ей нужна помощь ветеринара ,малыши тоже заразятся
Los seres humanos le hemos arrebatado casi todo el espacio a los animales y no ese mísero sitio les dejan, que tristeza, podrían haberle dejado criar ahí a sus bebés, no es ningún paraíso el mísero espacio en el que se refugió, pone en evidencia la escasa empatía y el egoísmo de los propietarios de la vivienda.
Hello on my hubbys account -can raccoons be out around dusk time? Meaning is it normal. Not sure. Thank you have a good day and keep up the good work
Though usually nocturnal, the raccoon is sometimes active in daylight to take advantage of available food sources. So in answer to your question, yes, you may see them at dusk.
😪😪🥰🥰🥰
That tuff looking patch of skin plus all the missing hair, does look like scabies, I have seen that on wild cats. Will you be bale to find out and assist her if she is in real health danger? I see she is people friendly, possibly a pet at some point before this. Sadly but it is true. If this is the case she may not have arranged a second location due to not being completely wild. The more I see her back the more I am convinced it is not healthy issue. It very much looks like mange.
I would have left them
Poor racoon 🦝 the fur. There suffering. I'm sure the pest control kills them 😔
She probably bring them to another house and the work starts all over again.
How sad. Would let her stay til the babies were older.
I wonder what happened to the mother with that scar on her back
How do u know they don’t have rabies? How r guys protect yourselves especially with adult raccoons that many have rabies if they show up during the day?
She probably setup camp in the neighbours
That racoon looked sick...lost a lot of fur....
