Knoxville Police Department Animal Control Officer Nick Powell responded recently to a call of an animal stuck in a dumpster at the E-911 Center on Bernard Avenue.
When Officer Powell looked inside the dumpster he located two unusual companions - a kitten and a baby raccoon - cuddled in the corner keeping each other warm. Both animals were rescued by Animal Control Officer Powell.
UPDATE: The raccoon was relocated and released. The kitten was transported to Young Williams Animal Center.
If they're saying it's a baby raccoon, doesn't that mean it's too young to be on its own? Shouldn't it be sent to a wildlife rehabilitator first?
