Linda, Judy, Randy, Troy Lynn, Shelby and Bill: And to everyone who came to the International Ferret Symposium.... Thank you so very much from Support Our Shelters for your great generosity toward the shelter ferrets of the FML. You certainly have kept us busy with your outpouring of gifts to the two large rescues we have helped this year, as well as donations to other shelters on the FML. This is the most rewarding kind of busy, and we are grateful to have the work :) Now this incredible donation from the symposium will make it possible for us to pay off the remaining vet bills for the Utah rescue plus the surgeries which are still badly needed and waiting for funds. Helping these 235 ferrets has been a huge undertaking involving many people, and it would have been absolutely impossible to do it so well without all of you. I doubt there are many (any?) other communities of animal lovers that come through again and again the way you do in times of great need. Our deepest thanks to the symposium committee for their confidence in our work, but most of all for their desire to help as many ferrets as possible through giving to the shelters and to the ADV research our ferrets need so badly to save their lives.
