Louise and Big, you rang? Here's the raffle re-post:

Winter blues got you down? Already had enough of being in the deep
freeze? Check out all the ways to keep you and your furkids warm with
the Friends of Ferret Shelters January/February raffle for The Oregon
Ferret Shelter.

"The Oregon Ferret Shelter is currently housing 170 (insert "YIKES"
here) shelter ferrets waiting for homes. With the economy being scary
for all, we are seeing approximately one ferret a day knocking at our
door needing a new home! I often wonder how many people are leaving
their own skin kids at hospital doors! Many need surgery, which isn't
an easy feat to accomplish right now. We have 10 furkids waiting for
adrenal surgery. We have a wonderful, understanding vet, but a $5700
vet bill still has to be paid." - Chris Mathis

Check out the BEAUTIFUL "Around the World" handmade quilt in the colors
of water, sky and earth. Made and donated by Nancy Busso (and of course
her 17 ferrets helped).

Shower your furkids with a deluxe gift basket filled with Innova EVO,
a super thick, plush fleece bedding set with a cuddle cup, reversible
hammie, a "deep sleep" pocket hammie and a heart shaped storage box
full of toys and treat. Donated by Susann Thiel.

You will be powerless against the charm of The Cutest Ferret Scarf -
made by a volunteer at The Ferret Inn Shelter and one of the most
popular items at the December York show. We totally sold out within
a half hour! Be the envy of all your friends!

Treat yourself to a little luxury with a freshwater pearl necklace and
earring set AND a bonus pair of genuine amethyst teardrop shaped post
earrings. Freshwater pearl set donated by Susann Thiel. Amethyst
earrings donated by Clover Williams.

Clara Rodriguez Print, back by popular demand! Cuteness overload!!!
