I hope this report will inspire you to write encouraging e-mails, send
ferret gifts or supplies, contribute to paying expenses, or purchase coupon
booklets for the emergency fund (see FML #1614). These are wonderful people
who are working hard for the fuzzies we love.

Sounds like we are all in the same boat! I'm holding down two full time
night jobs, dealing with the usual ferret problems (two probable complicated
tumors), helping out the Humane Society with an injured cat (died after 4
days of intensive care), coping with a broken water heater and bashing in
the front of my car the same day......well, guess that's enough!!!
Our vet bill has climbed to $1200 and I've just cancelled two dental
appointments in order to add 6 addtional work days to my schedule so that I
can make larger payments to the vet. Although we don't go often, I can see
at least one surgery looming. So, need I say, we can use all the help we
can get. We got a wonderful donation of cash and supplies from Ferrets of
Freedom. We gave private thanks, but they do deserve a huge public vote of
gratitude. I wonder if ferret owners out there realize how much shelters do
for ferrets in general and for the private ferret owner in particular?
Hardly a day goes by that we do not assist the individual owner with
information and, often, financial assistance to give life to a ferret that
would be gone without that financial boost? We never say "no", just don't
know how.

Rogues Gallery continues to be temporarily closed. Our house is up for
sale, and as soon as it is sold we will begin construction on a larger home.
Until the "big move", we act as an information & referral service, and take
in emergency cases (including animals from local shelters which will release
them to us). Most ferrets remain in their current owners homes unless there
are extenuating circumstances & they need to be removed/placed immediately.
In that case, we will take them and put them into foster care. At the
present time, people seeking new homes for their ferrets and people seeking
ferrets are put on a referral list and we put them in contact with each
other.

I only have one ferret in my shelter at present, a year-old jill who was
kept in a tiny hamster cage and probably suffered other forms of abuse as
well. She doesn't even have a name. Chances of finding her a home are
slim, as she will tolerate only minimal handling. I can feel the anxiety
building up in her body, and can usually put her down before she bites. If
anyone knows a potential owner with lots of patience, I'll waive the
adoption fee.
Later this week I expect to get in a seven year old jill whose cagemates
have passed away.
On Apr 19, I'll be at the Baltimore ferrets how at Tall Cedar Hall on
Putty Hill Rd. This show is being given to raise money for 3 MD shelters,
so I encourage all to go. I'll be there exhibiting as a breeder, with at
least 9 young ferrets for sale.
