I just received a postcard in the mail from the "NEEPs, Inc." company -

This in itself is a great program - for those of us on the list who spend
large sums 'o money at The Ferret Store.  If you can't find anything on the
list that you could use yourself, think about using your earned points and
redeem it for something that you could drop by/mail to your local ferret
shelter for them to use.
 
I have emailed the company and suggested that maybe they should consider
extending the program to allow purchasers to "donate" their points to
shelters.  I myself probably won't earn enough points by myself to trade
for anything wonderful on the list.  However, if they allowed us to
"donate" the points to a shelter, the shelter might get enough to get some
much needed supplies.  It was only a suggestion, but I'm hoping it's a
suggestion they like enough to use.  Keep your fingers crossed!
