PLEASE CROSSPOST Monday, September 29, 2003 The thank you page is now complete so folks can check it out. For anyone who donated to United, we need your names and addresses to send a receipt and to list your name on the page. We received $230 in donations to United and another $300 from S.O.S.!! That paid for the first wave of testing. We have roughly 35 more tests, which adds up to about $280 more that will be billed to us this Friday. Folks still have time to send in checks or call. Shannon at United has been wonderful in dealing with folks and taking their credit card info. We have so far paid $250 to the vet, but have yet to scratch the surface as far as needed surgeries and yearly visits. Only 15 ferrets have been done and the chordoma removed. Donations to the vet are urgently and greatly needed. We hope to begin transport on the weekend of the 11th. Michelle will touch base with Nancy (Ferrets Across America) again and start contacting folks closer to this date. We prefer these ferrets go into homes and shelters that ADV test as we did go through the expense of doing so ourselves. Most should be vaccinated by that time and all will be ADV tested. The ferrets themselves are settling in. They seem much less frightened and much more active. They thrive on human interaction and will not leave you alone if you are out sitting with them. We do still have two biters, but they are being handled when possible and are getting much love and comfort. Their ears have finally started to clear up and their stools are better. We have three with diarrhea still so we may have the vet do a fecal float to be sure nothing more serious is going on. We also have our new Raffle of the Month on the web site under the fundraiser section. One way or the other, we will have ebay items this weekend as well. We are also offering the 2004 ferret calendar for sale Items Needed: Litter - preferably recycled newspaper brands Long Distance Calling Cards Water Amoxi Drops. Food Laundry Detergent Paper Towels Garbage Bags Funds for ADV testing and vet care Katharine ########## For all donations please specify whether they are for the Titusville Rescue or are general Ferrets-N-Limbo shelter donations.
