About two weeks ago my fiance and myself were looking into adopting a dog.
We went to the local animal shelter and when I was speaking to the manager
of the shelter, I asked him about their policy on ferrets.  He said that
they normally turned ferrets away unless they were sick at which point they
would be euthanized.  I told him about the FML and he was thrilled to find
out that there were so many ferret enthusiasts.  He likes them himself but
has never had one as a pet.
 
Anyway, I gave him my number and told him to contact me if he had anyone
come in with a ferret.  Today I received a phone call from him and there was
a young girl looking for a home for her roommates ferret.  Apparently the
roommate does not take care of it and she feels badly because this little
guy just lays in his cage all day w/ no one to play with and no toys.
 
I spoke with the girl and she said he had a very nice temperament and didn't
bite.  He was approximately a year and a half old.  I am going to go see him
tomorrow night and wanted to know if anyone in the Southeastern part of NY
(near NYC) would be interested?  I would be willing to meet someone half way
if they would like.
 
If you are interested please e-mail me and I will contact you with the
details.
 
Thanks for listening,
