FERRETS NW, recently recovered a lost ferret (May 29th) and was fortunate
to get the ferret back to its legal owner the next day.
 
Today (Jun 2nd) another lost ferret was picked up by FERRETS NW from the
person who found it.  Ferret is in residence at the FERRETS NW shelter.
 
For obvious reasons the ferret cannot be described nor can its pickup
location be made known.  This ferret will remain here until identified by
its legal owner and retrieved or if not retrieved within 30 days of this
posting, will be made available for adoption into a home that is deemed
"qualified" in the considered opinion of Edward Lipinski, Director of
Ferret Endowment for Research, Rehabilitation, Training & Education
Society, NorthWest.
 
Deferral of pickup by the legal owner to the 29th or 30th day may subject
the owner to pay a $5.00 per day boarding fee rather than making the small
donation that is normally requested.  No more "free" boarding for the
"quick-witted" owners.
 
Anyone having lost a ferret in the past few days may be well advised to
contact FNW by email or phone @ [206] 232-1228.  All claimants will be
required to ID their ferret out of the the total population of ferrets
that are currently domiciled.  Claimants are required to sign a form
titled, "RECLAMATION OF LOST & RECOVERED ANIMAL BY LAWFUL OWNER.
 
A donation to FNW will be requested from the legal owner at the time the
ferret is returned and the longer the ferret is retained, the greater will
be the requested donation.
 
Any one attempting to defraud FNW by claiming ownership of a ferret not
legally owned by that person will be immediately referred to the Mercer
Island Police Department on a criminal complaint.
 
Edward Lipinski.
