One year old female ferret needs new home.  Price is negotiable.  I just
want her to go to a good home.  She's my baby.  She's incredibly sweet,
never bites, and can use a litter box.  She's still small, so it's like
getting a baby but WITHOUT THE BITING!
 
She's a cuddler and loves to lay on your chest and lick your face.
 
I'm moving to New York, where they're illegal, so I really just need her
to find a good home.  She's fixed and has all her shots.
