I hope this report will inspire you to write encouraging e-mails, send
ferret gifts or supplies, contribute to paying expenses, or purchase coupon

who are working hard for the fuzzies we love.

Sounds like we are all in the same boat! I'm holding down two full time
night jobs, dealing with the usual ferret problems (two probable complicated
tumors), helping out the Humane Society with an injured cat (died after 4
days of intensive care), coping with a broken water heater and bashing in
the front of my car the same day ... guess that's enough!!!
Our vet bill has climbed to $1200 and I've just cancelled two dental
appointments in order to add 6 additional work days to my schedule so that I
can make larger payments to the vet. Although we don't go often, I can see
at least one surgery looming. So, need I say, we can use all the help we
can get. We got a wonderful donation of cash and supplies from Ferrets of
Freedom. We gave private thanks, but they do deserve a huge public vote of
gratitude. I wonder if ferret owners out there realize how much shelters do
for ferrets in general and for the private ferret owner in particular?
Hardly a day goes by that we do not assist the individual owner with
information and, often, financial assistance to give life to a ferret that
would be gone without that financial boost? We never say "no"; we just
don't know how.

home. Until the "big move", we act as an information & referral service,
and take in emergency cases (including animals from local shelters
which will release them to us). Most ferrets remain in their current
owners homes unless there are extenuating circumstances & they need
to be removed/placed immediately. In that case, we will take them and
put them into foster care. At the present time, people seeking new
homes for their ferrets and people seeking ferrets are put on a referral
list and we put them in contact with each other.

Hi, everyone...
The Sanders Ferret Halfway House is no longer able to take in ferrets. We
are getting ready to move to VA, and I don't know when I'll be able to
resume rescues - I suspect folks desperate to dump their ferrets will find
me, sooner rather than later.
Recently I have received several separate e-mails about bringing ferrets
into California. Because my name has been published in a variety of items
about the AFA, I suspect that some misguided "health" official is trying to
trip me up. How dumb do they think I am? I would never recommend that
anyone break the law, no matter how stupid it is.

*** Adoptive Parents Needed Quickly ***
I have had to move recently and due to that move can no longer breed
ferrets. For this reason, I must sell ASAP all of my ferrets, shelter or
not. I have at the moment approximately 50 ferrets that need homes. The
major problem is that several were in bite rehab, and without me there to
work with them daily, they have regressed. I do have many that are already
neutered, and many more that I would neuter before placing. I also have
some that I will only sell as breeders due to their excellent bloodlines and
outstanding temperaments and conformation. Breeders, however, will ONLY be
sold to those with experience, so please, no first time breeders. Placement
fees are ranging anywhere from $25 to $200. If you know of anyone loooking
for a ferret in the Michigan area or willing to pay shipping costs (which I
prefer not to do, but will for an outstanding home), please send them my
way. You can reach me through e-mail (best option) or by snail mail.
Please, it is not fair that my babies are not getting the time out they
need. My ex is caring for them (with frequent visits by me) but he does not
allow them any play time nor handle them at all. I can have ferrets where I
am staying and do have some with me, but I cannot have whole hobs here nor
that many ferrets.
Thank you for your time.
