I have an unusual request.  My brother, who lives in Sacramento has asked
me to put in an unusual request.  You see, I am the primary contact for
New Mexico Ferret Rescue here in Albuquerque, and he knows that I have
the ability to "ferret out" information.
 
Here is my request.  My nephew is terminally ill, 6 years old, he has a
brain tumor.  What I would like to know is if there is an underground
ferret person in the Sacramento area who could introduce Ferrets to this
child.  It seems that the animals that have come into the home for brief
visits have distracted my nephew and allows him to touch and enjoy
animals.  He is pretty much bedridden at the moment, and requires
constant care.  Is there a laid back ferret in the area?  I have three
myself, but obviously I can't go there and show them to him.
 
Considering the legailities of Ferrets in California, any information you
would be providing me would be held in strict confidence.  I know I may
need to give whomever the phone number of my brother's home because of
the legality issue.
 
Thank you.

To all:
 
His nephew can no longer speak and is terminally ill.  I cannot believe
someone in Sac can't find a way to visit him with a ferret a time or two
before he passes away.  I forwarded this request to the FML in June with
no responses.  Can someone in Sacramento help.  PLEASE.  This was the
childs most heartfelt wish when he could verbalize.  I will drive the 6
hour trip myself if I have to, but there must be someone closer...in fact
I know there are ferret folks in SAC.  If it was your child you'd do
anything wouldn't you?  Please someone call or email this family or me
and lets see what we can do here, before time runs out.
 
All good deeds you do come back to you and yours tenfold.
 
God Bless
