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 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 - Freehold, NJ
