I've not had much to do with them for 10 years, as having dogs in the shop precludes much cat visitation. For the past several weeks, I had noticed there weren't too many cats hanging around the colony. Then an emaciated tabby showed up at our shop, tame as tame could be, yelling FEEED ME. So of course, we did. But it did seem strange, that cats would choose up the street, rather than a warm, dry place full of food. Then I saw this fox, coming out of the largest cat condo, around noon last Friday. Toronto Animal Services recommended we call TWC, and once we'd organized everything, the fox was caught, and will spend tonight warm and safe. His mange is extreme, poor little critter. Lots of secondary infection. If he can be helped and released, the TWC will do it.
Thanks again, TWC!

Wow, the poor little guy is a mess isn't he?
So glad that he will get the help he needs one way or the other.
Hoping the best for the fox and of course the cat colony.
Poor little guy! Hoping for a a fast and rull recovery for him!
awww poor little guy :(
They are cute little things, glad he got some help :D
There's a lot of fox mange here in Massachusetts too. The one I saw didn;t look too bad as yours. Young and perky and seemed to have a full coat, but its coat was a patchwork of colors-different reds and browns. I was told that was a sign of mange in red foxes.
It's an easy treatment, too, apparently, but it needs given twice.
OMG, youze guys, I have a new reader! My cousin found me, and I realized I better get writing about riding again.
She's got herself a harse, ya see..
A VERY well fed TB;)
very, very well fed...
A bit TOO well fed, really, and of course I told her so;)
I infected her with the horse bug years ago...
I put her up on a pony, and (according to her memory, I have none) she promptly fell off, and so I lifted her back up again.
Her parents were stricter than mine about frivolous aka horse spending.
She's just gotten into it, bought a harse with a friend this past year.
I LOVE being 7th:)
Yea for more harse blogging from GL and yea for your cousin!
Any news on Mr. Foxy?
I haven't called them, CCC. Apparently there is a second one, I've been keeping my eyes peeled, but so far, nuttin'.
I know they will either treat him, if they can, or euth him.
Remind me, when my work computer is back.
It be dead, acked by a birus.
The screen of terror "Give me $100.00 by credit card, and you can have your computer back" virus.
I HATE hackers. I feel, in my most cynical moments, we are simply creating more business for the geeks in our own country..
Geeks rule da worl'.
