Just look:
EEEEEEEEEEEEEE…I would give her such an epic snuggle!
Don’t get me wrong…I KNOW wild foxes aren’t tame, they love to tear up the joint, and they SMELL BAD.
Google “fennec” and watch your head explode. AFAIK they’re not the product of a puppy and a kitten mating. Puts your red fox to shame, and legal in some states.
Or, want something bigger, and have $8900 lying around? A Russian guy spent decades domesticating foxes through selective breeding, ultimately getting a fox that looks different and lacks the smell and timidity or aggressiveness of wild foxes.
I can’t find the cite, but I read an article from like a year and a half ago about a family that “adopted” a bobcat as a pet. They’d found a cub under their house and rasied it. It was, AIR, quite tame though they’d raised it alongside their small children. It was kind of a nice story actually.
D’awww. Note that the guy is wearing a fox shirt as he is cuddling his fox. 
The Russians will sell you one:
Okay, that just took the place of sugar gliders as the pet I must have.
Chuckles the red fox would probably appreciate a good cuddle. She has neuro problems, but she wuvs people.
I keep expecting fennec foxes to take flight. They can certainly zoom fast enough.
One interesting note is that this originally started as an experiment in breeding. So while the scientists have been breeding generations of foxes to become more domestic they have also been running a parallel program where they’ve bred foxes to become anti-domestic. And that experiment turned out as successfully as the better-known domestication program. They now have a pack of foxes that are hyper-aggressive and will attack people on sight.
Do NOT let the SyFy Channel find out about this.
OK. I have syringes. I have fast acting insulin. So, I present to you…FENNEC FOX BABIES!
Nah I want this pair of cuties - YouTube
Not the most practical pet, but they’re sooo cute!

I sat up on a frost heave at Prudhoe for several hours one summer day and watched five or six Arctic Fox pups play a few feet below me near their den entrance. Way cool.
I’ve heard that the “domesticated” foxes from the Russian experiments are quite tame, and can make good pets, but they’re expensive, and yes, they still stink.
Not that I in any way condone having wild animals as pets, but aren’t lynxes generally way too shy and withdrawn to want to be around people?
Dang! Beat me to it, that project was the first thing I thought of when I clicked on this thread. I think it is possible to buy progeny from Russia.
What would happen if I were to boop their noses?
I have grey foxes, or at least one grey fox, that visits my backyard fairly often for the last couple of years. It was out there last night, maybe an hour after sundown.
It’s extremely shy, can climb a 6ft wood fence like a cat, and eats bugs in the summer. I feed it some scraps if I can get the back door open without scaring it off, my closest neighbors like to sit on their back porch in the dark and watch it come and go.
He put out a pan of food one night and got up in the middle of the night to take a look. 2 cats, the fox, and a possum all eating at the same pan.
