Where to buy native plants?

I want to plant more natives in my garden, but most of the plant nurseries I have been to see to have an extremely limited selection. Any tips?

I have bought native seeds online with some success, but was hoping to find some plants that have already sprouted. Thanks!

My neighbor found a raccoon stuck in her wall.

Sorry about how dark these pictures are, my neighbors just sent them. Any sense of how old this little guy is and if it is too young to be let back out? Does it needs to be taken to a rescue?

​

It somehow found a way inside the wall of my neighbor's house. Like an inner wall of the house between two bedrooms. It was crying and they had to cut it free. Any advice on what to do? They gave it water, but aren't sure what to feed it. Haven't spotted its parents.
