After much waiting, I finally received a call from Lanette regarding
the 100 Oregon ferrets. She stated that many had already been given
away and that there were probably about 60 - 75 left. I was able to
contact someone in the area who could effect the removal of some of the
ferrets. This individual went to the house and found about 30 hobs, and
about 60 ferrets that had been spayed/neutered. Over the course of last
weekend, individuals went into the home and removed them, some being
kept by those who took them and 47 being placed in the safe area.

The 47 ferrets have been ADV tested and all results have been negative
so far. They will be vetted and vaxed prior to their placement in
homes. Food is being supplied to them through Totally Ferret. The
name and location of the safe area are not being disclosed at this
time. However, if you live in the eastern Oregon, southern Washington,
southern Idaho, northern Utah area and would be interested in a ferret
or two, or would like to help transport ferrets to a new home, please
send the information to Lisa O. at [log in to unmask] or call her at
301-593-0773 after 5:30 EST and leave a message.

As I said, the ferrets are safe for now. Those of you wishing to donate
may donate cash to assist with the vets, vax and ADV testing to Support
Our Shelters (SOS). Food donations may be made through April at Totally
Ferret.
