As the president of the Ferret Rescue Society of Ottawa and Area, and on behalf of all our members and volunteers, I extend the deepest sympathies and condolences to those Americans in NYC and Washington, and to any other families who had relatives or friends in the area. The only word I have been able to come up with in my mind is surreal. The unimaginable has happened. I wish all the families the courage to support each other and hold each other close in this desparate time of loneliness and despair. On a final note, our shelter is located in Ottawa Ontario. Alot of the plane routes were diverted to our international airport. If anyone needs help, personally or for their ferrets, I am adding my home number. Please do not hesitate to use it.
