Since I maintain our shelter's website, I get quite a few messages from people wanting find a new home for their ferrets. Our shelter is closed to new surrenders, so we try to help place them as best possible. Just this past week I have gotten requests from three different people in this area that want to give up a total of seven ferrets. I don't have the full details on four of them, but have a pretty good history of the three from one family. All three are in good health, up to date on vaccinations and going in this week for their annual checkup. The owner never heard of ECE, so it's ASSUMED they have never had it. They've been raised with kids and the family has cats that get along with them. All are sables (they said "brown"), Murphy (female) is 7 years old. Bubba (male) is 6 years old and Manson (male) is 3 years old. Murphy and Bubba have been together all their lives and cannot be separated. Manson should be able to go to a new home on his own. They also have two cages and assorted ferret goodies and don't want any money, only a good home. Additionally, I heard from an e-mail friend in New York that has to give up her two ferrets. Randy (female) is 4 and Scooby (male) is three. Both are in good health. If there's anyone in the New York/Conn./New Jersey area that is interested, please let me know. Or, if there's a shelter in any of those states that is not at capacity and can take them, let me know that too. For the ferrets, Mike * Michael F.
