Bravo Kat,
 
Those are my sentiments exactly..  Wonder where you heard them before.
 
Out of ten ferrets Three were rescued from people that couldn't/wouldn't
keep them, two are from a shelter, One Marshall farms gave to me, and the
other four I bought at pet stores.
 
Also true though I haven't bought one from a store in over a year.  Not
since so many others have found their way to my home.
