The poor little animal must have gone through terrible conditions when she was rescued. She got a serious injury at one of her feet. This might make her “unfriendly” with her surroundings.

Miraculously, the little animal came closer to her adoptive mother, put her hands in the woman’s hands, and started asking for the cuddles. Animals can sense. Their sensitive nature makes them feel the love and kindness of the people around them. And this time, the raccoon lay her trust in her adoptive mother.

“It was interesting because she hadn’t come up to anyone yet, and she came up and sniffed me, and put her little hands in my hand. Ever since then, she’s been honestly the sweetest raccoon I’ve ever met in my life,” Maxine said.
