To shelters out there who are overflowing:
 
Last i checked, there are *wait lists* in some areas of Michigan for ferret
adoptions.  I can follow up on this - this was earlier this summer - if any
shelters think they'd like to try and move ferrets from one shelter to
another.  These shelters are in the greater Metro Detroit area, btw.  Also,
ECE *has* gone through much of this area, so it might not be difficult to
locate a compatible shelter.
 
Note: I'm not trying to take business from the breeders established in this
area.  In fact, I don't think it would interfere much at all, as the people
I've talked to at the shelters very clearly have a clientele that wants to
adopt *from a shelter* in the first place.
 
Last i noticed, there weren't any shelters in Ann Arbor.  Anyway, if you're
interested in contacting a Michigan shelter about moving ferrets between
shelters, contact me in private e-mail and let me know of your interest.  It
shouldn't be too hard to coordinate.
