Well, first off .. she's doing tarot on *ferrets*, not *people*, from my
understanding.  It's meant to be a fun, light-hearted event, not to be
taken super seriously.
 
Does it really matter if the predictions are accurate?  I would imagine the
predictions will be along the lines of "There will be a pot of raisins in
your future", and "You will miss the litter pan and meet with disapproval
and displeasure".  In my household, those would more than likely be quite
accurate predictions. ;->

Then by all means, if someone feels so uncomfortable with a "Ferret Tarot
Reading" that they feel the need to boycott the whole event .. then *let*
them boycott the event.  You can't please everybody.  I can't imagine many
people getting that uptight about a light-hearted fundraiser that they'd
deprive themselves of the fun of a gathering for that reason alone,
though ... If they do ..  well, it's their loss ...
