…a fox is living near people?

In short A fox in town is not ill by definition. A healthy animal keeps its distance and comes out towards evening.

Should you step in?

No. A fox merely crossing a yard does not need catching or chasing.

When is help needed?

If it does not flee, staggers, has bald patches, or comes out in daylight and walks up to people.

What you must never do

Do not feed it. A fox that waits for food from people is the first to die — to cars, dogs and guns.

When to contact us

If you see signs of illness, or the animal has settled where it is in danger.

A real rescue

A fox that came for scraps for weeks: it ended well only because the feeding stopped in time.
