Hi everyone,
It's that time of year again.  School is ending, students are returning
home, people are leaving for vacations, and the cute little ferret kits are
all grown up.  Consequently, the ferret shelter and rescue I'm a part of is
getting rather full.  I'm sending this message to help spread the word
about the wonderful weasels, kits and adults that are looking for new
homes.  If you're interested in adopting a ferret please let me know!  If
not, please forward this message people you know that would make a good
ferret mom or dad.  Thanks!

have nine playful ferrets looking for good homes.  Each ferret's name, age,
coloring, adoption fee, and disposition is given below.  All ferrets are
altered, descented, and should get along with other animals unless
otherwise noted.  Pictures of each of the ferrets can be found at the
Sandeborne Institute's website, http://www.sandeborne.org.

                       Oodles of Woozles!
                 (twenty-nine kits, to be exact)
 
The Sandeborne Institute has welcomed twenty-nine beautiful, healthy ferret
kits into the world in April and May.  The oldest of the kits are four
weeks old; the youngest two days.  The bloodlines of these kits are fully
documented over four generations and combine German, Canadian, New Zealand
Welsh, and American show genes.  None of the bloodlines produced albino
ferrets.  The four week old kits, parented by a cinnamon jill and a silver
hob, are beginning to show their colors: blazes and sables with and without
mitts.
 
Many of the kits will be for sale for $100 each in a few weeks.
*All proceeds go to the shelter.*
