Rather than try to tackle the problem themselves, they contacted Gates Wildlife for help.<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"1\">Gates Wildlife is known for safely removing animals from places they don\u2019t belong, mainly people\u2019s homes, and they were confident they\u2019d be able to take care of the little family who\u2019d moved into someone else\u2019s home uninvited.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crop;webp=auto;jpeg_quality=60.jpg\" alt=\"babies in the ceiling\" width=\"381\" height=\"254\" style=\"display:block;height:auto;aspect-ratio:381 \/ 254\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>The Dodo<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"0\">When the rescuers arrived, they found a spot in the ceiling that felt warmer and made an educated guess that the babies were somewhere around there. They very carefully cut into the ceiling \u2014 and ended up pulling out a whole pile of little baby raccoons.<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"1\">\u201cThey\u2019re tiny guys,\u201d one of the rescuers said in a video posted to The Dodo.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1752328744_485_scale;webp=auto;jpeg_quality=60.jpg\"  alt=\"babies in ceiling\" width=\"792\" height=\"478\" style=\"display:block;height:auto;aspect-ratio:792 \/ 478\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>The Dodo<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"0\">The rescuers could hear the mama raccoon making noise nearby, worried about what was happening to her kits. They worked as quickly as possible so that she wouldn\u2019t have to be concerned for long.<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"1\">Once all the babies were safely out of the ceiling, the next task was getting them back to their mom. Luckily, the mama raccoon was still nearby, waiting somewhat patiently for her babies to be returned to her.<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"0\">The rescuers placed a single baby on the ground to show Mom where they were \u2014 and before long, the baby was back in her arms again.<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"1\">One by one, the mama came and collected her babies and whisked them away to somewhere much safer than a ceiling. The rescuers watched her go, thankful that the ordeal had a very happy ending.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedodo.com\/daily-dodo\/baby-raccoon-waits-on-doorstep-all-alone-for-someone-to-notice-him\" data-vars-href=\"https:\/\/www.thedodo.com\/daily-dodo\/baby-raccoon-waits-on-doorstep-all-alone-for-someone-to-notice-him\" data-vars-ga-action=\"related link\" data-vars-ga-label=\"daily-dodo\/baby-raccoon-waits-on-doorstep-all-alone-for-someone-to-notice-him\" data-vars- rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1752328744_180_flatten;crop;webp=auto;jpeg_quality=60.jpg\" alt=\"Baby Raccoon Waits On Doorstep All Alone For Someone To Notice Him\" width=\"116\" height=\"156\" style=\"display:block;height:auto;aspect-ratio:116 \/ 156\" loading=\"eager\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedodo.com\/daily-dodo\/baby-raccoon-waits-on-doorstep-all-alone-for-someone-to-notice-him\" data-vars-href=\"https:\/\/www.thedodo.com\/daily-dodo\/baby-raccoon-waits-on-doorstep-all-alone-for-someone-to-notice-him\" data-vars-ga-action=\"related link\" data-vars-ga-label=\"daily-dodo\/baby-raccoon-waits-on-doorstep-all-alone-for-someone-to-notice-him\" data-vars- rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Baby Raccoon Waits On Doorstep All Alone For Someone To Notice Him\u201cAs soon as I saw him, my heart broke.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When a family heard what sounded like baby animal cries coming from their ceiling, they weren\u2019t sure what&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4382,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[1039,616,5000,79,615,613,201],"class_list":{"0":"post-4381","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wildlife","8":"tag-caitlin-jill-anders","9":"tag-daily-dodo","10":"tag-racoon","11":"tag-science","12":"tag-standard","13":"tag-the-dodo","14":"tag-wildlife"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4381"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4381\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
