Is that not possible?

Depends on your definition of domesticated, but pet racoons already exist.

Isn’t there some risk of diseases jumping to humans when living in close quarters with animals?

[-] janNatan@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

You've heard of the bird flu outbreak in cattle in the US that infected (at least) three humans, right? We are animals, and many animals can potentially give us diseases regardless of their domestication status.

If you're thinking specifically about rabies, there is a vaccine for raccoons.
