Giving Tree Question for the Ferret Community

[log in to unmask][log in to unmask], 21 Dec 1987 19:14:00 -0500687_- Sorry to take so long, but job changes and other such stuff made it
rather difficult to find the time to get this rolling. Now things have
stabilized, I'm finally able to do something with it.

For the time being, please mail any contributions to:

ferret-list@spectrix

I've included some useful paths in the trailer to this article.

I will manually forward them back out. I will make some changes to
automate this in the future, but not quite yet. Part of the reason
why this isn't being automated now is the fact that of necessity one
of the recipients has to be anonymous. Sounds wierd ... Unfortunately,
this person has their ferret in a state where ferrets are (still)
illegal and has asked me to [...]44_21Dec198719:14:[log in to unmask] 8712 60 21 26_New Moderator Introduction14_Chris R. [log in to unmask], 21 Dec 1987 19:14:00 -0500495_- We have three ferrets:
1) Nicia - very small (overweight) sable femal, at least 2 years old.
Indirectly from the pound. A real fighter (surviving several
medical crises), and a real sweetheart.
2) Mocha - normal size (1 3/4 lb) sable female, obtained as a baby
about 1 1/2 years ago. A sock eater (with feet inside).
Have tried many thigns, simply can't stop her.
3) Toby - 3 lb. silver-mitt male, obtained as a baby. 9 mos. old.
Big, stupid, and friendly lummox. [...]44_21Dec198719:14:[log in to unmask] 8712 82 29 23_New Member Introduction22_Steve & Sukie [log in to unmask], 21 Dec 1987 19:14:00 -0500394_- We have 2 ferrets at our place - Hjalmar (an exceedingly stupid but
friendly 3 pound, 2 year old male), and Fritter (a very smart 2 pound
3 year old female). A few weeks ago we lost Hale to an illness that she
had been fighting for several months -- she was over 7 (we have no idea
what her real age was as she was purchased as an adult -- she may have
been as old as 9). [...]39_21Dec198719:14:[log in to unmask] 8712 112 28 23_New Member Introduction14_Tom [log in to unmask], 21 Dec 1987 19:14:00 -0500385_- Hello,

I've had my ferret for over a year now and I wouldn't trade him for anything.
He's an albino, and about 3 years old.

As to training him, my brother and I have managed to train him to come to the
sound of a whistle. This was done by rewarding him with his favorite snack
(cheerios) every time we would whistle. Now all you have to do is whistle and [...]39_21Dec198719:14:[log in to unmask] 8712 141 22 23_New member Introduction14_Susan A. [log in to unmask], 21 Dec 1987 19:14:00 -0500640_- Ferrets: Did someone say ferrets! I've thought about getting one
of these for years, until I was told they weren't allowed in CA.

For same! But, I'd still like to know 'bout 'em. Maybe one of
these days I'll move...

Ok folks I value your input and your support of our rescue Critter
Camp Exotic Pet Sanctuary where we care for over 300 abandoned abused
small exotic pets of over 30 different types- including currently 17
elder and chronically ill ferrets ( adrenal, insulinoma, etc)

We have always posted our ferrets on the Giving Tree and been
extrememly grateful for the generosity of all of you.

This year Critter Camp jsut won $50,000 in the Pepsi Refresh contest
(which will still be going on- every ferret rescue should be submitting
an entry!) This money has specific regulations and must be spent as
such: $20,000 on food, supplies, transport and 30,000$ on land for our
proposed new building- this is amazing wonderful and a huge blessing!

However- not a penny can be spent on veterinary care and that is a huge
expense for us , particularly the ferrets as most of them have ongoing
medical needs. Unfortunately since we've won donations have trickled
to a near stop-understandibly.

So is it appropriate for us to post some of our ferrets and just ask
for vet$? or will it seem greedy to other rescues and donors if we do
that?

i hate to say it but i will probably ahve to use my own christmas money
to pay our vet and hopefully not much of my own utility bill money too-
unless general donations pick up again-

What should we do?
