Hey Ellen,

The following info is posted on our shelter site for boarding:

"For the safety & protection of all the ferrets in our care, we
require that all visiting ferrets be tested for ADV & current on
their vaccines, proof to be provided by Veterinarian records.

For a single ferret we charge $5.00 per day, if you supply the food,
and $7.00 per day if we provide it. For each ferret after the first we
charge an additional $2.00 per ferret per day (your food) & $3.50 per
ferret per day (our food). For example, if you have 3 ferrets to board
and are providing your own kibble we would charge $9.00 per day. (1
ferret @ $5.00, plus two additional ferrets @ $2.00 each = $4.00 for a
total of $9.00). If, for the same 3 ferrets, we are to provide the food
the cost would be $14.00 per day. (1 ferret @ $7.00 plus two additional
ferrets @ $3.50 each = $7.00, total of $14.00)

IF YOUR FERRET IS ON VETERINARIAN PRESCRIBED MEDICATION YOU MUST
PROVIDE IT IN THE ORIGINAL BOTTLE WITH PROPER DOCUMENTATION. This 
can not be stressed enough.

While we do not charge extra for boarding ferret needing medications,
we again do accept & appreciate any donations.

At the time of check in, we provide a contract for all boarding parents
to sign in which we require your Veterinarian's contact information
along with a signed "Permission to Treat" form in case any medical
needs arise. The contract also states that any and all expenses
incurred by us for your ferret(s) medical care while we are boarding
them needs to be reimbursed to us by the responsible party before we
will release them.

Please note that the person dropping the fuzzies off also needs to be
the person picking them up at the close of the contract period unless
otherwise arranged at the signing of the boarding contract AND we have
met the pick-up person.

ALL proceeds raised go to the upkeep of the ferrets in the shelters
guardianship. Additional donations are accepted & appreciated."

I hope this helps.
