[Cross posting this with the author's permission. [log in to unmask]] Dear Ms. Belair: I saw your organization on the Internet and decided to write you. I have recently become disabled and because my benefits have come to an end I am forced to move by the first of August. The only place I have to go is to my husband's family in South America. I have a sweet, lovable 5 year old female ferret named Rascal. I assumed could take her with me but when my husband went to his embassy to see what vaccinations she would need he was told that I could not bring her into the country. My husband wants to try and sneak her in but I do not want to take the chance because if they catch him they will confiscate her and kill her. So on top of every thing else I now have to find a home for her where she will be loved as much as I love her. I am writing with the hope that you can help me to find someone in the New York City, Metropolitan area who can assist me in finding her a home. I am desperate and broken hearted. The above email address is at my sister's house in Bay Shore, New York and she will see that I get the email. Thanking you in advance for any help or advice.
