WEYMOUTH — The New England Wildlife Center had two dirty but adorable patients this week.
Two fox kits estimated to be between four and six weeks old were brought to the center this week after people passing by a storm drain in Foxboro heard their cries and called first responders for help.
A wildlife rehabilitator brought the kits to New England Wildlife Center's Weymouth facility for care. Albeit a bit dirty and dehydrated, veterinarian Priya Patel determined the kits were otherwise healthy.
They were taken to the center's Cape Cod hospital, where Executive Director Zak Mertz said they are going through a quarantine process. Staff will then raise the kits with as little human interaction as possible and prepare them to be returned to the wild this fall.
