Danielle,
Thank you very much for your thoughtful post.  I agree with you, I think it
is just a wrench, and with a little time, my parents will hopefully come
around.  A very kind shelter operator who runs a shelter where the animals
are allowed to "free range" has agreed to take them and get the surgery
they need as well.  I can visit through their volunteer program, and it
seems al will work out.
 
I would like to thank Tara, who saw this all the way through from the
beginning and Dr. Williams who went to so much trouble to help, even over
the holidays, and another Dr. who was willing to help us out at below cost
with Lupron and Alicia who has already taken in so many babies and was
willing to take two more and FACT ferret shelter in Connecticut, which is
an amazing organization, and every single person who wrote and offered help
and advice.  I cannot believe my good fortune at finding such a wonderful
and kind group of people.  Each of you is very special.
 
Gratefully,
Anne, Basta and Mowgli
