Might be a cross-fox (part red, part silver). If the coat stays that way over the summer, I'd bet on it.
My parents used to have a silver fox that would come up to the porch - gorgeous animal. It would stay about 10 feet to them, and liked to be talked to. It would squint and knead its paws just like a cat. They suspect it may have been someone's pet that was just turned loose. Disappeared one day - they figure someone shot it.
