Hi everyone. First I apologize for cross-posting, but I am trying to help out a very frantic ferret owner, and will keep it short. The ferret escaped out of the house in the Lawrenceville area of New Jersey. He is a 3.5 yr old hob (altered, I presume), Champagne color, and his name is George. He was from a breeder who called him butterscotch. He was lost Saturday, 10/26. The owner has already called the police, shelters, Animal Control, and all the vets in the area. He has already been out all night with a squeaky toy, talked to all the neighbors, checked garages, sheds, porches, etc, and put up posters in the immediate area. Just wanted you all to know he's been doing everything he can so far. I told him to call the Animal Control people (etc) again on Monday to remind them (some were closed), and to keep going out and looking, and to expand the search farther out from his house and neighborhood. So, if anyone in that area picks up a champagne hob, or hears of one, or a shelter receives a champagne hob, the very frantic owner can be contacted at: Charles Ratkay work phone: 609-538-0248 Cell phone: 609-947-0551 email: [log in to unmask] If you can't reach him, please call me and I will be able to reach him. Thanks for any help, Ann Barzda Hillcrest Ferrets 609-914-0118 If I have missed any groups or shelters in the NJ area that may be able to help, please feel free to post this information. This owner was crying on the phone with me, so I hope we can help him out. [Posted in FML issue 3949]
