Some people in arizona , I think it was, found some 4 kittens and put them in a box and left it on the animal shelter steps. But the Animal shelter realized they weren't "Kittens", but the cubs of a Grey Fox from the region ! The mother had gone off to get food, and they should have left the cubs alone till she got back !
But now the shelter had to take care of them till they got older and could be turned in at a Zoo and/or released into the wild. So they told people; you should just leave the animals alone till the mother comes back ! If she doesn't come back in 12 hours; then you can assume they are abandoned ! I will hunt for the Photo !

I think the cubs of a Fox are actually called Kits !
