I have a friend who has a feral cat colony (about 15 cats?) that he feeds. The problem is that they now have a raccoon mom who is showing up during feeding time. When they shoo away the raccoon they also end up scaring the cats who are more shy, so they don't get to eat.
Does anyone have ideas of how they can get rid of the momma raccoon? She is coming out in the daytime and is very blatant about wanting food. They think she has about 6 kits. They are in the east bay area and they will likely not get help from animal control.
Any help would be appreciated!
