Someone in the Bristol, CT area needs to place her 4 ferrets for health and financial reasons. Two are advanced adrenal cases. FACT will take them into our shelter and put them into our foster program. But we are seriously overloaded and are asking if someone can step forward to take the other two who have special needs. I have not met the ferrets as yet so have very little information about them other than that the male, Hercules is deaf and has cataracts. The female who he's bonded with, Xena, is a biter. I gather these two had been abused prior to the current owner taking them. Given the circumstances, these are a couple of ferrets that need to go into an experienced home with the patience and knowledge to work with Xena. I suspect that the present owner was not experienced enough to help her work through her issues. And while apparently healthy, Hercules will need a special home. I will try to get more information re ages, etc. We are trying to avoid having these ferrets bounce around if at all possible though if an area shelter can take them we'd sincerely appreciate the help. Connecticut Humane Society is now (AT LAST!!) taking and adopting out ferrets which is fine with us and fine for the readily adoptable. But the special needs and sick ones are coming to FACT along with ACO foundlings. If anyone thinks they are up to the challenge and have room in their household and heart, please get in touch with me directly. Thanks in advance.
