Branch shelter Carlsbad, NM, Eydie Fox, [log in to unmask]
The shelter is bursting at the seams with ferrets a the present time with
more fuzzies than I can count. A few were adopted out, but the new
arrivals far exceeded this number.
Several surgeries were done in the last month. The heat is awful here.
Since the number of ferrets is so high right now, I am going to need to
devote another room to the ferrets. However, there is no AC in that room
so the shelter is desperately in need of a 5,000 btu (or larger) window
AC unit. The roof is in need of repair as well, in fact I simply need to
replace it. I am looking for metal roofing material at a bargain if
anyone can help or offer suggestions.
I'd also like to say *THANK YOU SPONSORS!!*
[Currently, I have several fuzzies looking for sponsors if anyone is
interested.]

condition, he manages to struggle into the litterbox 100% of the time
and gives kisses every time he is held.)

Wish List:
I need someone who is willing to take on a challenge and take two young
nippers off my hands. As I prepare to move, I just don't have time to work
with them, yet I remain convinced that their feisty ways can be changed. If
someone contacts me and mentions this list, I will waive the usual adoption
fees. However, this must be a mature person, experienced with ferrets, who
is truly willing to work with these gals. Both are attractive, under one
year old, spayed, and good on all shots until next year.
Hope to hear from you, I am just south of Baltimore, MD
