Renee...first off, I believe Delta Airlines is the only airline that will
allow a ferret in the cabin.  And, if the destination is California, you
will not be permitted to take your ferret(s).  They DO know they are
illegal.
 
My suggestion to you would be to fly to Reno, and rent a car to finish your
journey into California.  Or, contact someone in Reno, make arraignments to
ship the ferret(s) there and then you drive up from your home in California
and pick up your ferret(s).
 
In any case, do not attempt to take a ferret into California by air.  The
journey will not end happily for you.
