As the coordinator of the Ottawa Ferret Association, I was surprised to read
on the FML that we have a 'six month' waiting list to adopt a ferret. I
regret that the person who posted this statement was left with that
impression and found it necessary to support a pet store.
Rescue operations cannot predict when an orphan will become available. This
post appeared in the Nov. 6th issue of the FML. Last night we received a
one year old male. Today we rescued a one year old female. We also have a
young male and female pair waiting for a home. On many occasions we have
taken in three or four orphans in one day. One time ( a day I will never
forget) we rescued seven.
I would not want to discourage prospective adoptees from calling our
Association because they think we have a six month waiting list. Just
wanted to set the record straight.
