In response to Bob C's post..... The Alberta Ferret Society, a registered charity, currently has 33 ferrets looking for new homes. Of those 5 are pending adoption. All of our ferrets are fostered in members homes until permanent adoptive homes are found. The AFS pays for the maintenance and medical costs and the fosters provide the love. Right now because our available funds are low we have 6 ferrets on a waiting list for spaying/neutering, 1 waiting for surgery to remove lumps on her face (blocked salivary glands suspected), 2 with insulinoma who are currently on medication and 1 who is being treated for cardiomiopathy.
