hello. I would like to ask the help of anyone in Colorado. As you know
Ferrets Etc. is up and running again after a break. For those who do
not know Ferrets Etc. has been around for sometime, I opened the doors
in 93' and took in about 300 ferrets a year until my break started in
99', now I am back.
The problem is I am getting in tons of ferrets and none going out. I
have 32 ferrets already, most over 5 years old. Everyone seems to know
I have reopened for drop off but no adoptions. This past weekend I saved
a ferret who was attacked by a dog I had to take him to the emergency vet
and paid 300.00 for him to be helped until I could get him to my vet.
Here in the problem lies if Ferrets Etc does not get the word out for
adoptions or maybe help getting a fund raiser going I am just going to
have to close the doors, which I would hate. But After this big bill
and paying out of pocket for food and all, I can not pay my morgage this
month, explain that to the mortgage company :-) my ferrets come first.
I used to be able to foot most of Ferrets Etcs food bills and extra bills
but with two human children now I can not. So if anyone out there has
any good fundraising ideas and can help organize something please give me
a e-mail. The fuzzies are my world and I do not want to let them down,
but it is time I ask for help I can not do it alone anymore I did this
more or less alone for 10 years now I need some help and I do not see an
long lost rich relative leaving me any money in the near future :-)
Take care
Stephanie
