Bill- I don't have information for this area, but thought, with the FML, someone might be able to help in this case. Thanks SunFerret [ --- Forwarded e-mail --- ] I have an unusual request. My brother, who lives in Sacramento has asked me to put in an unusual request. You see, I am the primary contact for New Mexico Ferret Rescue here in Albuquerque, and he knows that I have the ability to "ferret out" information. Here is my request. My nephew is terminally ill, 6 years old, he has a brain tumor. What I would like to know is if there is an underground ferret person in the Sacramento area who could introduce Ferrets to this child. It seems that the animals that have come into the home for brief visits have distracted my nephew and allows him to touch and enjoy animals. He is pretty much bedridden at the moment, and requires constant care. Is there a laid back ferret in the area? I have three myself, but obviously I can't go there and show them to him. Considering the legailities of Ferrets in California, any information you would be providing me would be held in strict confidence. I know I may need to give whomever the phone number of my brother's home because of the legality issue. Thank you. Ramona L.
