Hi Kat- You are in posession of the ferret and remember possession is 9/10ths of the law. Make this person show you PROOF the ferret is his. Do not provide a description- but make him describe the animal to you. Have this person bring a receipt of purchase, vaccination / vet records, and a photograph to allow you to see this is actually his ferret. If you have any misgivings that this ferret is his-- then keep it iuntil you are satisfied you have found the true owner. You are within your rights to do so. Alicia [Posted in FML issue 3594]
