Thank you Kristeen!

We now have 3 people offering to match up to $500 each for money
donated to IFC/ELF to help the Ohio rescue. That's a total of $4 for
every dollar you donate!

So you know where those funds are going, so far we have:

* made a direct cash donation to Lori to help with expenses.
* purchased cages from The Ferret Nook and Martin's Cages that will
  remain the property of IFC/ELF/FERRET for future emergencies.
* paid for the shipping for donated Path Valley food.
* helped pay expenses for bringing large truckload of supplies to
  Lori's.
* helped pay expenses for picking up large number of ferrets for
  distribution to other shelters.

We know there will be continuing expenses for these ferrets for many
months, and are dispersing funds carefully. Please find a way to help
if you can!
