** JOIN THE MASSACHUSETTS FERRET FRIENDS AT THE BOSTON PET EXPO! **
 
Come visit the Massachusetts Ferret Friends (MaFF) at the Bayside Expo
Center this weekend, November 16-17.
 
* See ferrets in their natural habitat (in a hammock in a cage)!
* Trade ferret care secrets and know-how with the MaFF volunteers!
* Learn about MaFF's education and shelter activities!
* See how you can help win rabies quarantine for ferrets in Massachusetts!
 
* Join MaFF, if you haven't already!
* Buy neat stuff!
 
If you have a ferret, this would be a great opportunity to meet other ferret
folks in Massachusetts.
 
If you don't have a ferret, come to see whether this animal would be the
right pet for you ... learn about their care ... and learn about shelters in
New England.
 
We will be accepting donations for shelters at the booth: bedding, cages,
carriers, any of the 'tones (Linatone, Laxatone, Ferretone), Nutrical,
kitten or ferret food, etc.
 
For those of you who haven't attended a Pet Expo before, you're in for a
treat if you love animals.  In addition to food-and-supplies vendors, there
are artisans and crafts people, breed-specific rescue organizations, area
vets, a petting zoo, a cat show, canine-rescue demonstrations, and more.
