Yeah, you are right. I was thinking that this was a mommy raccoon and she was
hungry and may have babies somewhere. And that's why she was coming around by
day. I have stopped the dry food for 2 weeks and now only restarted to see what
the outcome is. I haven't seen the raccoon now for 2 weeks. It was just hard
feeding the cats only the meat once a day because they were too hungry and
ravenous by the next day. So, then i was driving over twice a day with the
meat and it was too much for me, with working and all. So, the dry food is a
good idea for the cats to help supplement them. thanks for your input.

Yes, raccoons are mostly nocturnal, but when they have young ones, they can
also be seen during the day, looking for more food. This makes many people call
ACOs when they see raccoons during the day, wrongly assuming that there’s
something wrong with them, like rabies, distemper…

I have the same problem with opossums. I have started feeding the ferals in a
different place & putting dry food out for the Opossums. Also I feed the ferals
during the day & the Opossums eat at night. I'm not sure if raccoons are
nocturnal like opossums

Hi there - anyone out there - does anyone know how to construct or how to
keep raccoon out of an outdoor cat colony dry feeder? I am feeding 7 outdoor
cats and now there is a raccoon in the area eating all the dry food every night
in the dry food feeding station. I feed the cats by day some meat and throw
away the plates when done. But the dry food is a staple food for them which
they need to supplement the one feeding I give. Also, in case I can't get
there to feed them. Any suggestions? I have seen some constructions on line
but the cats have to jump up to get into them and there is one older cat I
don't think he can jump up into anything! Please let me know. I know this has
nothing to do with leukemia, but it does have to do with helping cats. Dotty -
