I am in contact with Motor city ferrets on a regular basis and they have
asked me to post this for them:
 
Feel free to post a reply that Motor City Ferrets is not full, has not
been full all year and has room to accept surrenders right now.  Donna
told me she did fill up quickly due to a couple of 5 surrenders, but
we're holding steady in the low 20's.
