I am looking for a companion for my lil girl, Bootz. My son, Danial, and I can provide a loving and caring home. We are gone during the day and feel that two ferrets are better than one:) I just don't want to put out that initial high cost through a pet store when there are so many owners willing to give their ferrets to a "loving home". I wish I could help out the sick and abused ferrets but don't have the time or money for that. I know that might sound bad or picky but i'd rather be honest and upfront. I applaud all of you who take on those needy lil one. I'm looking for a ferret that is descented and fixed and doens't bite. Those are the prereqs that I need. I am in the Kelso, WA area--45 minutes from Portland, OR. I am new to this list and have found it very enjoyable and informative. My heart goes out to all who have lost or have ill lil ones. --hugs Shawna [Posted in FML issue 3051]
