Hey there, We have an abused ferret who needs Vet care ASAP..his name is Sammy & his Mommy picked him up with her last few dollars from a man who had a box full of ferrets on a street corner... She knew at the time she had no money for Vet care but could not let this cast out end up in a dumpster as the day was coming to an end.He was old,ill and the only one left.She grabbed him to her Heart and took him home.She named him Sammy. Sammy had very obviously been abused.He clung to her as she did to him. With happy eyes,skinny lil ole body, an enlarged spleen & various lumps all over his tummy,Sammy had his Loving Forever home at last.His mommy realized that he needed help now..but waiting on her SSI check & with 2 children to raise was at her wits end.She contacted me.She did NOT ask for money..just suggestions.. We have Sammy scheduled to see DR Cacioppo on Monday.His address is: Park Animal Hospital 8400 Eastern Avenue Las Vegas,Nevada 89123 Phone: 702-361-5850 They accept Charges,checks or money orders. A few of you know the troubles CJ is having at her Shelter.It is getting worse every day.Luckily this is where CJ takes her ferrets at times.By helping Sammy you may also be helping Cjs group.All monies sent to this Vet will be used on Sammy first..the exam is $33.00,x/rays if needed from $20.00 to $150.00,bloodwork about $75.00 and an unknown amount if he must have an operation.. Sadly,there is a possible cancer so it's anyones guess..:( All money left will be held in account for CJs group.She just took 10 unaltered ferrets from a backyard breeder who will need ADV testing,shots & altering.CJ does this alone.She also needs our help,desperately.. So i know i could easily skip a few dinners and i know that will not only make my body happy but by helping these grateful animals it will do my soul the best of all.. Please join hands? With Love & Thanks, Tara,Sammy and CJs crew:)) Join our Ferret Group!! Club Med Ferrets http://groups.yahoo.com/group/clubmedferrets NEW!
