Hi All,
Laurie here - aka - fuzzytheif.  All the ferrets from the shelter that
closed in Michigan are here with me.  They will all remain here for awhile
till all medical & social problems are acessed & taken care of.  Our
wonderful vet has agreed to make a house call this Wednesday to check them
all so that we can take care of the more serious issues right away.  Jean &
I brought home 36 ferts.  26 of these are WHOLE.  4 are in heat NOW!  1 is
possibly preggers.  1 serious prolasped rectum.  1 possible adrenal.  Once
he has checked them, I will be able to give you more details & of course 11
neuters & 15 spays.  After all this is taken care of, I hope alot of you
will open your homes & hearts to these lost souls from Michigan.  Regular
adoption procedures will apply (screening of interested parties)  Some may
feel I am being to picky but I WILL NOT allow these ferrets to go through
anymore heartache than they already have!  I don't get into the political
crap or who knows who etc.  - I ONLY care what is best for these ferrets &
I will see to it that they get the best!  They deserve it!
 
If any of you would care to donate to help these fuzzies - I would be very
grateful.  I am going to keep records of anything coming in & what it is
used for.  If you choose to, please only send to me - DO NOT fall for the
(I'll see that see gets it)  We have all heard that story & know how it
ends.  If you would rather help by sending a donation to the vet, that
would be great to.  I will be using two vets.  Our pro for the serious
problems - Dr. Wayne Turner - Animal Clinic Northview & Douds Vet.
