Oh yes!  That is one of the things multi ferret owners have to watch out
for when a playmate dies, too.  The remaining ferret may go into
depression so bad that it wont eat and they will actually starve
themselves to death unless the owner makes some drastic intervention.

Have you looked at some of the list of shelters?  The section of the SOS
list for NY is at:
http://www.geocities.com/ferretlover96/ferrets/SOS-ShelterList2.html and
http://ferretcentral.org has the STAR List.
