Dear FML Friends:

In our travels as rescuers, we all encounter other types of rescues.
Please pass this information along to any other Northern Illinois
exotic rescues you may know of:

My name is Kim Crivello and I am a Shelter Manager with the Greater
Chicago Ferret Association.

The GCFA does educational events called Meet the Ferrets. When we do an
event, we bring a table display, handouts about the GCFA and general
info about ferrets. We bring our playpen and usually 9-10 of a variety
of our own GCFA shelter ferrets. We bring ours because we know their
temperaments and they are used to being out in public and handled by a
variety of people. We bring harnesses and leashes for their security
when we take them out of their playpen. We are very hands-on with
allowing anyone who wants to pet or hold a ferret. We stay for as long
as someone wants to talk about ferrets.

In 2011 I am coordinating events called: Meet the Ferrets Rocks the
Exotics. It is the first Saturday of every month at the Schaumburg
Petco (starting 2/5) from 10a-1p. If you are available, I would love
to have you join us and educate the public about your rescues. If you
know of any other exotic rescuers, please let them know and ask them
to contact me.

My only rule is: no dogs and cats. I want the misunderstood pets to
have their day in the sun and we will promote education and responsible
ownership of all unique pets. This venture is very exciting as we join
forces with small rescues and, together, make a huge impact on the
lives of all homeless pets.

Let me know if you are interested.

Kim oO~
