Injured fox on Crawthew Grove

[EDmummy101]

If anyone spots a fox limping on 3 legs please call RSPCA on 0300 1234 999 open between 8am-8pm

Hate to see a hurt animal, especially hard to help a wild animal. 

Thanks

Rang RSPCA but they can't/won't help. Anyone who spots it, maybe you can find a London organisation that helps foxes? Thanks

Get in touch with the Fox Project, sorry I don't have their details, but they come out to injured foxes.

F

Fox Angels Foundation will send a local person out if you message them on Facebook.

They respond very quickly.

They have come out at at least twice to help in Ulverscroft Road, once to take a very ill  fox in my garden to the vet,  and once to safely remove a fox from a neighbour's house.

Obviously they need to know the fox's current location!

Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.

Thanks TWB, that is all really useful.

However, if  memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells.

The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations.

To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill  foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I messaged  them on Facebook).

The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died).

It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there.

The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an  animal in need,  however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online.

I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.
