Hello everyone! Just like Lisette said earlier, I don't know how Norm and the gang does it! I volunteer on Sundays, and every week I go there are a new batch of kids in addition to the regulars that need loving! I went a couple of weeks ago on a Tuesday to help out, and Norm was the only working at the shelter. A 110+ ferrets and Norm was the only one in there cleaning water bottles, scooping litter boxes, feeding etc. He is such a great man! He is soooo dedicated to these little creatures! I really hope and pray everyday that some of the kids that have made it on my "very special" in need of a home list please get adopted! Otherwise I feel they are bound to come to my house some day! And I am already up to my ears in ferret poop! Mitch (my boyfried) keeps joking with me that he is going to have to give up the bedroom and go live in the basement, so I can knock out the wall and expand our ferret room into the bedroom! Please people don't make me resort to this..Go adopt some fuzzies...If you don't do it for me, do it for Mitch, who doesn't want to go live in the basement! :) There are soo many in need of loving! Carlos who is just the sweetest Sable boy in the whole wide world! Angel, another sable who would love a home! Max and Jimbo....Max is a big sable boy, and Jimbo who is also a very handsome big boy! Or how about Frosty? I belive he is a silver mitt...Bianca and Kendal, two sweet, sweet girls! Scooby, Thelma, and Daffnie, three kids that came to the GCFA through the animal welfare league, the girl who brought them in couldn't even remember their names! The whole past was thrown away, they have nothing not even their names! Wouldn't it be great to make a story for them? Or better yet how about all of the sweet kids that are older and little sick and would LOVE to live out their lives in a loving foster home! They ask for nothing but your love! Wouldn't it be great to make a story for all of these ferrets that I listed and all of the ones I haven't listed? Instead of them being the ferrets that came to the GCFA and never got adopted..They where really sweet but no one could find enough love in their hearts to give them a place to call home! Why not start a story for them, like my two, Peanut and Sweet man Charlie Brown! Their story starts like this..They came to the GCFA in June of 2001...Then in June of 2002 a girl named Valerie was cleaning litter boxes while volunteering at the the GCFA...She saw Charlie and picked him up to give him a kiss and he returned the kiss! Kisses all over the cheeks and lips! That was it Sweet man and his sister where coming home with Valerie! Peanut is also the sweetest little spit fire girl! She has adrenal but she does not that slow her down! In one tube out the other! Bald little tail sticking out of the hammock! Charlie will just follow you around and around until you give him some of his "special" food! Then he closes his eyes and enjoys it to the bowl is litterely licked clean! He then takes his little dirty chin and rubs it all over your clean shirt! Then gives you the biggest thank you kiss, and curls up on your chest and falls asleep! This post is bringing tears to my eyes, just thinking that they might not have been able to enjoy this life if it wasn't for me taking them home, and that there are so many other kids in the shelter just begging for this life and a place to call home! PLEASE I beg you if you have any more room in your hearts, please call the GCFA and set up a appointment to 'adopt some love!" The great things about these kids are they love you unconditionally, where can you ever find that? On bad days they make you smile, on good days you can share the smiles! If every other person who belonged to the GCFA or is in the Chicagoland area found enough room in there hearts and cages to take one more baby, the shelter would be cleared out! I know we can make this dream a reality! All we need is a little help! All the information you need on the GCFA is at www.gcfa.com Go check it out! Mitch and I are begging you too! The shelter ferrets listed are just the begging too! Valerie, Mitch, Rocky Samantha Roxie (gcfa kid), Marvin, Eugene, Sable, Matilda (gcfa kid), Fivel, Sweet Man Charlie Brown and Peanut (gcfa kid), Scooby (gcfa kid), CoCo, Angel, Huey, and Rue! ***Have you snuggled your ferret today?*** [Posted in FML issue 3841]
