Many heartfelt thanks to everyone who bought tickets and donated
items for our latest Friends of Ferret Shelters raffle. You all
helped to raise a phenomenal $1,273 for the Oregon Ferret Shelter!!!
With about 170 ferrets in residence, your dollars are MUCH needed.
Shelter operator Chris Mathis said the raffle proceeds will pay for
lifesaving surgeries for about half the kids on her waiting list!

FOFS will be launching another raffle very soon. We're all feeling
the hurt from the economy, and ferret shelters are getting pounded
more than most. A few spare dollars here and there really can be a
lifeline to a shelter on the edge.
