Hi Lurelady,

diospyros:
Raccoons are wonderful creatures, but be careful.  Along with rabies they can get infected with something called Baylisascaris procyonis.  Infection in humans is rare but it can be severe.  
diospyros:
Maybe you know this already.  I know because I took a baby raccoon to a wildlife sanctuary a few years ago and they would not take him, because of the possiblilty of infection.
