I am happy to annouce, after months of waiting, that Ferrets R #1 Shelter & Rescue in Northern Virginia is now a 501(c)3 organization. Whew - thought it would never come. I want to thank Lisa Leidig for her help and sharing her answers to the IRS questions. I also want to thank Donald Walsh for preparing the paperwork for me, since I just never seemed to get the time to sit down and was intimidated when I did. We have loads of ferrets - took in 10 so far this week. Four of those ten was from it's owner being killed on Sept. 11th. Luckily a friend of her brothers took the ferrets temporarily and searched for a non-kill rescue. Now I can get busy fundraising and putting this ruling to work.
