Cheryl posted that she had a friend in California who wanted to know where he could obtain a ferret. The short answer is NOWHERE LEGALLY! I can't speak for any ferret shelters in California, but I would suggest to your friend that he join one of the organizations lobbying for ferret legalization BEFORE getting a ferret. This would also give him an idea of what problems he might expect for owning an illegal pet. Ferrets are wonderful, and it's wonderful that someone wants to join the world of ferret owners, but living in a place where they are illegal makes it a little trickier. It will be interesting to see California perspectives on this. Kurt & Sara Petersen FURRY (Ferrets Underfoot RUnning Round You) http://www.furryferrets.org Help raise money for the shelter!
