Tracking down a rehabber is far less effort than raising a wild animal. Most of the time there is not much difference in outcome between leaving it to die vs taking it in and raising it yourself, except the suffering is prolonged. Find a wildlife rehabber or find someone who will. I know that is not nearly as fun as raising a wild animal, I always dreamed of having a pet raccoon as a child, but it's the responsible thing to do.
