About Wirral Fox Rescue

We are the only dedicated Fox Rescue and Rehabilitation charity based in Wirral, with our rehabilitation centre located in Hoylake. We aim to help sick and injured foxes in Wirral and the surrounding areas and we work with fox-loving members of the public to do this. If possible, we will treat the foxes where they live; avoiding the need to transport them and the related stress of removing the fox from its territory.

We operate this “trap, treat and release” programme for foxes who do not require hospitalisation but are unlikely to recover naturally if they are not treated, such as those with a minor mange infection. Sometimes this on-site approach is not possible however, and very sick or injured foxes will need to come into our rehabilitation centre for additional care.

Once admitted, the foxes begin their treatment, often with support from our vets, and start their road to rehabilitation and ultimate release back into the wild. Foxes are territorial animals, so it’s a tricky balancing act – minimising time in captivity vs. maximising their survivability prior to release.

What we offer…

  • Fox rescue and advisory hotline (telephone 07900 615972)
  • Fox Ambulance and triage facility
  • Trap, treat and release programme for minor mange cases and minor injuries
  • Fully equipped local rehabilitation centre for those foxes in urgent need of care
  • Educational and positive fox-specific talks
  • Humane fox deterrence, as an alternative to those considering lethal pest control

Everyone is special.

A key policy of all we do.

At the Wirral Fox Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre we have a strict “hands off” ethos. We believe the wildlife are in our care to facilitate their swift and healthy return to the wild. For this reason, we ensure only fully trained and experienced team members can handle the “patients”, administer any sort of clinical care – or assist with cleaning and feeding.

This “hands off” and natural way of working is reinforced by ensuring each room is lit by daylight, maintaining the diurnal and seasonal behaviours of the creatures in our care.
