I am cleaning out my hoard of ferret bedding as my personal numbers
of ferrets is down, and I am preparing to downsize. Most of the items
I've culled are in above avg to vgc. The 2 cage pads are just like new
(musical b/w theme) also with 2 matching sleep sacks.

Blankets/towels, beds I donate to the local municipal shelter as they
are always in need of items suitable for dogs and cats.

But what remains is really just useful for ferrets: sleep sacks, Mary
Van Damm style tents (BTW, made with her permission for FACT. For those
who don't know, Mary is the ORIGINATOR of the tent that Marshalls now
sells!), snooze tubes. No hammocks, as we don't use cages.

Those who are local know that the stuff that Vanessa or I made was
designed to stand up to extreme shelter requirements. :) We usually
get bored of the pattern before it ever comes close to wearing out!
Anything that shows wear or gets grimy gets immediately replaced.

BTW, the FACT shelter doesn't need it. Vanessa is very picky about what
she uses in the shelter. Almost everything is what she personally made.
:) And she has a room full of ferret bedding already!!

If any shelter - 501c3 or otherwise - could use this stuff, please
email me separately and I'll send you a short list. Will gladly send it
as a donation. If multiple folks can use it, will split it up as best
I can. Preference on the tents given to anyone who already has the
"poles" needed for the tents :) only because they are a pain to ship!
There are 3 in poly/cotton fabric in like new condition. I made them a
number of years ago, but just don't use them.

I far prefer to recycle if possible then to throw things out! Nothing
is stained, torn, worn or abused - I've picked through it all
carefully. All are clean (I add a spot of bleach to all my ferret
laundry).

Thanks!

Ann Gruden
