This is an emergency posting - I was advised to use a friend's computer to type all information here. These kids are up for adoptions for free. This is an emergency and they need to go to a well knowledgeable ferret persons in some cases. Others that are willing to learn and work to learn better about the ferrets are welcome, too. These kids are going to be given to the labs to be tested then put to sleep by the middle of Feburary because they have no place to go. Here are all the informations that I have found out from these people [Moderator's note: I asked where these ferrets are. Here's Marcy's response: "There will be transports in Minnesota because we know many people in the area that can help out with the transportations. The shelters in MN are all overwhelmed and full of ferrets so they're not able to take them all if anyone asks. I already called and asked. They can only help in what they can in final destination of transporting ferrets there from another state. We can certainly work something out for ferrets to go other states to wonderful and forever homes." BIG] ------ Peanut Butter and Jelly - they were born together so they're related as sisters by blood. They're 3 years old, very sweet, both sable and healthy. Gorgeous sable girls. They're well behaved, never created trouble at all. The best ferrets anyone could ask for. Popcorn's group - There are seven of them in this group....all of them are very bonded together, but they used to be two separate groups put together in one. They're gorgeous - cinnamon, blaze (not deaf), champage, all kinds of colors in them all. Two of them are twin sisters that looks identical and came from the "wild" where this 90 years old man used to keep them outside. They were rescued before they nearly died from being frostbitten in the degrees of minus 40 degrees without wind chills which was much worse. They're all healthy and doing well. One of them blew out fur so much it's punky looking now. Always happy wth one another when dancing on floor doing WCF or WCWreslting tackling leaping off the ropes and tackle one another. Tic, Tac, and Toe - They were abandoned at the Petsmart in the cart by this woman that ran out of the store. The employees tried to catch her, but she got away. No idea of the history. A friend of mine that works with biters helped me so much with them especially when they got hit with helicobacter when they first came to someone's home. One is a big BEW, one small albino and one that is patchwork colored - who is a mother to both of them. Patchwork one is possibly adrenal, I think. All very healthy. Puffball - a gorgeous beyond words - black stripe from head all the way to the tail on a blaze colored coat without the white strip on its head. Not deaf. She lost her sight as she was young. May have been blind all her life, but not sure. She confuses me whether she's blid or not. She despereately needs lots of affection. Very sweet. She lost her best friend to illness way too early. She's lonely. Big Boy - Neat big boy, very affectionate for quite some times which is strange because he wasn't like that when his two best friends were alive. When his friends died to some unknown causes, he was lonely and would lick your arms, face, ear, eyes furiously out of happiness when you hold him. Champage color with two big white spots on his lower stomach. Beautiful, beautiful boy Chocolate Girl - very lonely, dark sable, gorgeous. Getting old and may be insoluminc so needs an experienced owner unless someone can work with someone from the shelters and learn everything. Very good lap ferret, just very content to be in your arms for hours seeking affectionate. Her sister died of severe case of insolumina in painful way because the former owner didn't know how to treat seizures and it was so out of control where someone stepped in and humanely put to sleep Three Scrooges - they're big boys. One is silver, one is sable, one is cinnamon and they're so big you cannot believe it. They're brothers by the same blood ferret family from what I understood. Very healthy and young. about 1.5 to 2.5 yeras old. Very little known about them. They're just like the popcorn's gang..doing funny things that keeps you interested to watch for hours. One more ferret that needs to be adopted is a white, male ferret named Frank. He's very severe biter but he's learning right now from my friend who knew ferrets whenever she's in town. He's gorgeous big white snowflakes color, no yellowish white, but pure white colored with the blackest eyes you ever seen. He's doing so much better and loves hammocks. Very lonely, too, I think. He needs to be in a home where someone has experiences and tolerant of bites, even nips. He doesn't bite so bad anymore. Just a little work. Last one of all, her name is Rising Star. She came from a very bad home and needs to be in a special home that can work with her. She was bred way too many times, too young and after third litters she had, she was yanked from her babies when the babies were only 3 weeks old and this ferret has been spitting mad for a long time. A friend of mine who is an expert with ferrets helped rehabbed her to health and emotionally. She's very happy now. Healthy and gorgeous silver and cinn mixture color. She's now spayed by my friend as well as descented. Been doing great. About 5 years old. I hope I covered everything. This is a frantic time for myself because they intend to take out their vocal cords before experimenting on them. I absolutely refused to allow this to happen. Please, please open up a tiny corner for them to find a home. It will be arranged through a group of people (people who have very little or no experiences with ferrets at all but good hearts for these furkids in trouble) in order to help them get out of here to a safe place. I'm losing lots of sleep over this. Thank you so much, everyone. Thank you to the moderator for help, too. I'm new at this situation. I will check on emails when I can come over to check on friend's computer as often. I will try and get info if necessary, too. Marcy [Posted in FML issue 4036]
