Nope. They fall out and the racoons dispose of the remains in the night.
As fun as it may be, the owners or other concerned parties just seem so upset after you taser one...

On a serious note...I'd much rather tree guys do this then fire guys. You have more experience and better equipment. Ground ladders aren't very stable, and you simply can't get into many trees with an aerial ladder due to the size of the truck and room it takes to setup. Ropes or buckets work much better.
At the firehouse we do have an animal catch pole like the animal control folks use. Plus heavy asbestos glovesA cat carrier and/or towel to wrap the little hellion in is always a good thing. Resist urge to throw said towel wrapped cat in the nearest body of water, again the concerned party who called you tends to frown on it.
Are you a volunteer or full time paid? We're all volunteer on our dept. except for the fire marshall he's the only paid one. He's also a volunteer as chief.
