Blakeley Bermingham first found an injured fox in her Hackney garden in October 2024, shivering, bleeding, and showing mange. After consulting a local vet, she contacted Fox Angels Foundation and began leaving turkey mince meatballs mixed with medicine, later naming the animal Meatball. With Fox Angels' guidance, Meatball gradually recovered, returned regularly to Bermingham's garden, and became comfortable enough to watch TV through the glass and enter the house. Meatball became pregnant during recovery but her cubs did not survive due to ill health. Fox Angels, a volunteer charity relying on donations, treats hundreds of urban foxes monthly across the UK.
