A neighbor lady had someone set traps to try to catch a fox that had been killing her chickens. This was near homes, within city limits. Dixie was caught in the trap overnight. Veterinarian treatment consisted of x-rays, setting of bones, and a special bandage to draw out an infection, at an cost of $1,000. Dixie’s guardian wrote, “This lady knows there are a lot of outside cats around this area. She’s an old lady, good neighbor, I don’t know what she was thinking.” As of report time, the woman had not been charged.
