I'm not trying to toot my own horn here...but the only way Pam's idea of
placement works is with the cooperation of a shelter.  Or unless your
"Super Shelter" and can do both placement and shelter/rescue work.  I love
Pam's idea.  I use it every single call I get.  But the sad fact is, many
people don't want to be bothered.  As hard as I try, most people that
contact me don't want to wait to place their ferret.  They've made up
their mind and are ready.
 
I agree 100% that the shelter isn't the place to be if your a ferret.  But
obviously with 2000 ferrets in the system, there is a need.
