Actually, the help isn't always as good as everyone thinks, 4paws. Last year alone I personally had 13 kittens fixed and it cost me a lot of money. I had it done at a low cost clinic that gets funding but we're so overrun with ferals and strays here in Georgia that nothing is free and all the shelters are over capacity, and there aren't enough people to adopt (we even have places who facilitate shipping cats and dogs elsewhere) and even the low cost clinic, which gets some funding but not enough, has to charge quite a bit for each service rendered. I have more ferals I can't afford to fix yet...not until I'm working again and have some more money saved back. I tried to get help with them for at least a year or two before I gave up and started handling it on my own.

But yes, it is definitely best to get them all fixed if at all possible...well, the domesticated animals that is. And hopefully there is better help available where Dean lives. And there could also be local wildlife agencies (not animal control) who may be able to help with the foxes. I know here in Georgia, the last I checked, they won't do anything about them...don't get me started on that one, just suffice it to say I've tried to have wild animals relocated and have been told no. But Dean may have better luck with that too.
