HI! I'M IN THE MIDWEST, U.S.A.

I HAVE BECOME THE FOSTER MOM OF A FOX KIT, AFTER A TORNADO PROBABLY WIPED OUT THE DEN. WHEN I MET HER, SHE WAS ABOUT 4 MONTHS OLD, LAST SEPT. SHE IS NOT AFRAID OF HUMANS OR DOGS.
I DID NOT WANT HER TO THINK THAT ALL HUMANS OR DOGS ARE HER FRIENDS, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT HER TO GET HURT, TORTURED, KILLED. I DON'T KNOW HOW HER HUNT SKILLS ARE, OR IF HER MOTHER IS STILL AROUND.
I HAD MY OLD FRIENDLY DOG 'PRETEND' TO RUN HER OFF, SO SHE KNOWS TO NOT TRUST DOGS. I DONT PET HER OR LLET HER COME TOO CLOSE, BUT I DO THROW HER SCRAPS, WHEN IT'S BITTER COLD OUT.
THIS IS HER FIRST WINTER. SHE NOW COMES EVERY NITE, OR WHEN SHE HEARS MY CAR, OR MY HOLLER.
I DON'T WANT HER TO GET TOO ACCUSTOMED TO HUMANS, SO I QUIT THAT ROUTINE, MUCH AS I LOVE IT... I NOW COME EVERY FEW DAYS, AT DIFFERENT TIMES, AND DON'T HOLLER, DON'T STAY TO WATCH HER COME. I WANT TO AVOID HER GETTING CAUGHT BY THE ANIMAL CONTROL AND GAS-CHAMBERED, OR PUT IN A CAGE FOR LIFE. SHE LOOKS HEALTHY, JUST YOUNG. I'D LIKE TO SLIP HER SOME WORMER, COME SPRING.
MY NUEROTIC ANAL MOTHER THINKS I SHOULD JUST REPORT HER
TO THE AUTHORITIES AND HAVE THEM TAKE HER TO A 'WILDLIFE REHABILITATION' CENTER. WHERE SHE MAY BE 'RELOCATED'. OR SPEND HER LIFE IN A CAGE. OR GASSED.

I WOULD LOVE FOR HER TO RUN FREE.
SHE IS NOT A PUBLIC NUISSANCE. I'D LIKE TO 'TRAIN' HER TO CONTINUE IN HER CLANDESTINE WAYS. THE LESS HUMANS THAT KNOW OF HER EXISTENCE, THE BETTER IT IS FOR HER SAFETY.ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT IS THE BEST THING FOR MY FOX FRIEND, PLEASE EMAIL ME PRIVATELY,
AS SIGNING ON TO THIS THING IS A PAIN.
