I live in the Bay Area, and though I don't take Nero out in public
per se, I have taken him to work on a number of occasions. It's
definitely a risk, since my understanding is that confiscated ferrets
are euthanized unless you can provide an out-of-state address
to which you want your ferret shipped. I'm pretty paranoid about
taking him places in the car (what if I get pulled over?), and I was
pretty nervous the first time I took him to the vet, even though
I had a recommendation from another ferret owner.

I don't have a list, but I do have a vet:
 
West Valley Pet Clinic
1360 S. Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd.
San Jose, CA
(408) 996-1115
Dr. Kent S. Littlehale, D.V.M.

We have two futons, and Nero has shown little or no interest
in them, except to hide toys, food, and other little surprises
under them.
