Back in November, the charity said it was called to the village of Gwennap, Cornwall, after members of the public had spotted an overweight raccoon wandering the streets.
When RSPCA officer Abi Kemp arrived to rescue the animal, she found it was three times the weight of a healthy raccoon at 11.2kg (2st 1lb).
At the time, Ms Kemp said it was “a bit of a surprise to get a call about a raccoon”.
The charity said: “Thanks to the kind members of the public, and a vet, the raccoon was safely captured and taken to RSPCA West Hatch Wildlife Centre.
“There he received the care he needed before heading off to a permeant home that could meet his need and the strict legal restriction on keeping them as pets.”
