Greetings, There is not much news on the ill-fated group of 11 ferrets that were reported to be turned loose in the Maine woods. Dr. Sandra had one of her office people try to call the friend of the "person" who had the ferrets. They called from a cell phone that the person would not recognize, and the caller id would not identify. As the person on the receiving end is no rocket scientist, they were able to get thru to her. After some stuttering and and yammering, the person said that the ferrets were not turned loose as she has earlier reported. She stated that they were being kept at a friends house. With that answer given, she hung up. As for the fate of the babies, we are left to wonder if the truth was told and on which occasion. Were they turned loose to die as threatened, or are they being housed and cared for at a "friends" house. Dr. Sandra chose not to report this to the authorities, as there is little or no real evidence that anything was ever done to harm the ferrets, and she does not even know who the owner of the ferrets is. All of the animal control people in the area know to contact her if any ferrets are found or are turned in to them. They know she has ferrets and that she has connections to help take care of them. So we are left to hope and pray that these blessed creatures are safe and sound, and living , if even temporarily, in a house that will show them the love they deserve. To even think of the alternative, hurts too much. Ferret Rescue of Maine A State licensed, 501c3 Non-profit ferret shelter.
