Hi, I have been asked to post to all FMLers that are willing to help our endeavors. One of the things that is really needed is ADV tests for the ferrets coming from CJ 24 Carat to Oregon/Washington. All of our shelters have tested and cannot endure the expense of testing the ferrets. It will help tremendously in their placement if we know up front if they are negative or positive. I do want to stress that no ferret will be euthanized if it tests positive, but will be placed in an ADV positive shelter or foster home situation at our end. Each ADV test runs $12. Now here are a couple of ways you can help. Linda Soule is acting as our coordinator in NV. Her mailing address is 977 Pleasantview Ct., Gardenville, NV 89410. Her phone number is 775-265-6744. Monetary donations can be mailed to her to cover the costs of a test or two. Or, how about donation $1.00 for each ferret you own. Money will be applied to all expenses of tests and travel. Another idea is to call Avecon at 1-800-249-5875 and order some test and send them to Linda's ASAP. Dr Stepons will let you know what payment arrangements he can take. One of the things that I love about the ferret community is how we can all work together to take care of our own. So, let's give this an all-out dooken good effort together to get these fuzzies out of Nevada! Chris Oregon Ferret Shelter/Pacific Ferret Shelter Network [Posted in FML issue 3533]
