My ferret came from Marshall Farms and I wanted some paper work on my
ferret, such as.... birthdate, shots, parents, etc.  In my search for
the phone number and residence itself, I found out some information.
Any help or information you can give me would be of help...
 
I asked the pet store where I bought my ferret, the address (at the
time, I didn't even know it was a Marshall Farms ferret).  The address
was as follows:
 
N.F.R.S.
P.O. Box 91
North Rose, NY  14516
 
I was looking for a phone number to this place, which the pet store
told me was "high security" because it had been raided by animal rights
activists.  So I looked in the yellow pages under "Animals-Laboratory
Use".  Lo and behold, I found their phone number: 315/587-4485 (Sales
Office: 315/587-2295)  They told me that they breed ferrets, but will
not sell unless they are neutered.  (I was looking for unneutered for
possible breeding.)  When I asked them for information on the
"guarentee" they just told me that the only shot the ferret gets before
leaving is a distemper shot.  The receptionist gave me another number
for the "guarentee" information: 315/594-1760  (No Answer)  She also
told me that they only sell to distributors, and gave me the number of
the Rochester, NY distributor:  A.D.D.  716/254-4470.  When I called
him, he was VERY unhelpful too.  "We only sell to pet stores, and in
bulk quantities."  So, how else can I go about getting information on
my ferret?  How can I find a local breeder?  I've checked vets, but to
no avail.  Once again, any info. will be helpful...
