Have you asked your local ferret association or ferret shelter for their
suggestions? They would have information on local pet supply shops for you.

You might want to take a look at the Ferret Products page at
http://www2.portal.ca/~cmc/ferrets/info/products.htm
This is a page which links to all kinds of companies which sell ferret
things. You might check out the on-line catalogs belonging to some of those
companies, as several of them are likely to sell cages. There's even a link
to a company which *just* makes cages, and will ship. Please note that I
have no affiliation with any of these companies. All I did was to put the
information in one place.

I'd suggest soft cuddly things like old towels and t-shirts on most of the
cage floor. Then place a litter box in the corner, and arrange it so that
your ferret can't tip the litter box over. (Like maybe zap-strap the box to
the cage wall.) If you make every other place a bed, fuzzy will probably
narrow down his "hits" to the one corner you want him to use. Worked for
us. :-)
