Dying Fox Cub in Garden

[wick]

Anyone have any suggestions for who I should approach about a dying fox in my garden. I've tried RSPCA, the Fox Project and London Wildlife Protection - no one seems to be able to help.

ITs very distressing

Thanks

If the fox is dying, could you put it in a cat basket and take it to the nearest vet?

Oh poor thing. Good on you for trying to help.

I have no personal experience, but this North London charity specialises in foxes: https://mamacat.co.uk/about/ . This charity is based in Croydon and also mentions foxes: http://www.thewildlifelodge.co.uk/services.html. It's not clear whether these people rescue foxes but it's worth a call: https://www.wildlifeaid.org.uk/contact-us/.

It's a wild animal and it's a virtual certainty you will get bitten if you try and handle it.

You just need to wear thick gloves and coat and put a towel over the fox.

I removed one from my then neighbour's living room a few years back.

It was fine and I didn't get bitten.

The OP said she had already tried the Fox Project?

Did you get the fox sorted and did it die ?.

I regularly pick dead ones up out of the road and cats after they have been run over and killed ( not by me ) as I cannot bare the thought of them getting run over repeatedly..
