17 ferrets in a .... box??!

 ...No food, no water, overflowing litter boxes, feces and urine
everywhere and very little light - all alone, left to fend for
themselves. All were in need of medical attention for various reasons -
adrenal disease, chordomas, rotten teeth, etc. Amazingly, all of the
ferrets survived. The SOS Blizzard Memorial Fund helped provide medical
care for these poor creatures, and gave them a chance to experience
comfort, light and safety. The Colorado Box Ferrets are another example
of who the Blizzard Memorial Fund has helped.

This fund was created specifically to help those ferrets that have
it the hardest - the ones that arrive at the shelter in appalling
condition, or in severe pain or emotional trauma and require immediate
medical attention. The ones that have spent their entire lives behind
bars in a small cage with no love or vet care whatsoever. They don't
know what it's like to be free, have fun or explore. Some have never
even had a toy. But with help from the ferret community, we can play a
part in turning their lives around. By purchasing raffle tickets you
play a direct role in helping ferrets and shelters get these wee ones
up and running again and give them what they deserved at birth - to be
happy, healthy and loved.
