Hello all! I have four ferrets that need new loving homes asap!! If they cannot find homes, then I need to find a shelter to put them in as I am now working 2 jobs and don't have the time to care for them as they need. The first pair came to me from a friend in Florida. Kodo is a male MF black sable mitt blaze. He can be a real sweetie but does nip on rare occasions. He is 1.5 years old and slightly underweight (1.7 lbs).... something I've been trying to fix. Podo is his cagemate and is supposively 3.5 years old. He is probably the sweetest ferret I have ever met but he does have some health problems. He is severly underweight (1.4 lbs) and losing hair. My veterinarian thinks that he has an adrenal tumor but we can't perform surgery until he gains more weight. Other than that he is healthy and eating like a horse! Next is Katodon, a male MF sable mitt blaze. I am unsure of his age but I would guess 3 years. This little boy is also underweight due to his previous situation and is currently up to 1.75 lbs. He only eats Iams kitten food....his previous owner almost starved him to death because he refused to eat ferret food! He is a real sweetie and loves other ferrets and humans. He has never bitten anyone and would make a great addition to any ferret family! Last is Opal......I've been trying to find a home for this little girl now for months. Opal is a beautiful petite little albino MF female, probably a little over 2 years old. She is very healthy and I have never had any problems with her health. She eats either ferret food or Iams kitten food and loves treats! She is up to date on shots and will need her boosters in a few months. The problem with Opal is that she is a severe biter. She does very well with other ferrets after being properly introduced. I have been working with her for almost a year now with little success. There was a period of a few months where she never tried to bite me and then she suddenly went back to her old self. I just don't have the time to work with this little girl. All of these ferrets need a home with someone who can play/work with them every day. The first three need lots of loving to get them healthy again. Opal needs loving so that she can get over her fear of people. I do have two super pet cages and some supplies that can go with these ferrets. Opal and Katodon can go together or separately, although I prefer that they stay together. I will help pay for Podo's adrenal surgery when and if he is able to go through with it. I can also email pictures of these ferrets and the cages to anyone who is interested. I live in Blacksburg, VA and would be willing to drive no more than 4 hours to deliver these ferrets to a new and approved home. If there are any shelters that would be willing to help me out, please email me and let me know!! I don't feel like I'm helping these fuzzies in any way by keeping them in my care. Please email me anytime or call me Mon-Thur after 6pm. Thank you in advance!!! Kim [log in to unmask] 540-553-2112 [Posted in FML issue 3311]
