The raccoons were released July 31 at Mission Trails Regional Park after being brought to the organization separately between May 18 and June 9. The animals were found by community members in Chula Vista, Ocean Beach and Santee.

The juvenile raccoons, known as kits, received medical care, including vaccinations and deworming, from San Diego Humane Society’s Project Wildlife team. They were also provided a varied diet of foods, including rodents, fish, eggs, insects, fruit, nuts, seeds and vegetables.
