Andrea,
 
    Several ferret clubs and organizations have already created ferret
'brochures' suitable for use in pet stores.  The AFA, STAR*, and local
groups such as LAFF (here in northern Virginia) I believe have such things
available.  You might want to talk with these groups before you work very
hard at re-creating such a pamphlet.  Especially given the fact that merely
having a fancy title such as American Ferret Association on the pamphlet
will make stores and patrons more receptive to reading/believing the
information.  I'm sure you are doing a good job and your heart is DEFINITELY
in the right place - so this is just FYI.  You can reach these organizations
through the address and phone numbers in Pam Grant's START list.  Maybe you
might want to get involved with one or more of these groups.
