I saw this in my local (Ithaca NY) newspaper.
 
4 ferrets with cage
2 males, 2 females
descented, all shots
$200/best offer.
607-539-7421
 
I called the person and got her permission to post the ad, including the
phone number.  She has one albino and 3 chocolate.  The cage is included.
She says her son has lost interest and she also has a new baby so she
doesn't have time to give them the attention they need.
 
I can't take them myself (my 5 take all my free time and money) so
hopefully they will have better luck finding a home here than in a small
town newspaper.
 
Just a thought- 4 ferrets are a lot, maybe she would be willing to let
them go in pairs.  I didn't ask her, but maybe it would be easier to find
homes for them all that way.
