When the deserted animal was first picked up at first all had appeared effective and dandy.
Vos mentioned: “A person referred to as our rescue quantity as a result of he discovered a little or no black kitten, only some days old,”
She added: “He requested us to return and decide up this little child.”
But, little did Vos know, she was in for an enormous shock.
Soon after the kitten’s rescue Vos observed one thing unusual about it.
She mentioned: “When I took the child in my arms, she appeared actually huge and it felt completely completely different how a kitten ought to really feel.”
And when she inspected the animal extra carefully she was shocked to search out its face did not look very kitten-like both.
A confused Vos visited the vets hoping to resolve the thriller. But the vet was simply as puzzled.
“The one factor she was certain of is that it was a child woman,” Vos mentioned.
Next she took the animal to wildlife centre, and luckily they had been in a position to inform her what breed it was.
They revealed that the creature was really a child fox – which frequently resemble kittens within the early levels of their life.
Although some could be appalled after realising they’d rescued a wild creature Vos was thrilled with the invention.
“I’m actually within the native wild animals,” she mentioned.
And added: “And due to my surname ‘Vos’, which implies ‘fox’ in Dutch. It was my dream to satisfy a fox in actual life.
“So holding this little child fox in my arms and stopping it from a sure demise was a dream that got here true!”
The child fox has since been placed with wildlife consultants to be raised till she’s old sufficient to return to the wild.
Although the creature turned out to not be a kitten, Vos was nonetheless more than pleased to have helped.

However, though the fox cub appeared cute and cuddly, foxes can carry “a spread of various parasites” in keeping with Wildlife Online.
