I am THRILLED to announce that all 3 foster ferrets have found wonderful forever homes!!! Many of you were kind enough to write me off list concerning care for their skin after a few hundred fleas and chemical/urine burns. Thank you all so much - and I have a great outcome to report! The youngest found an adoptive family with a very pampered existing ferret. The husband of the family (recently on visitation from Iraq) built a series of "tunnels" up the walls of an entire room from materials found at the Local Home Depot. Both ferrets can now have "playtime" even outside their normal free roam hours. The "baby" of the bunch completely stole their hearts and became the perfect playmate for their first ferret. The albino ferret found a home with my pet sitter's family, also a vet tech and outstanding volunteer for the local animal shelter. She will have the best of care and has become a very cherished member of the family. No doubt - she will receive lots of love in her new forever home. The elderly ferret (born in 1997) that originally seemed to have a grim prognosis - proved everyone wrong! His whole back and belly had NO hair when he arrived. He now looks like he has a reverse mohawk LOL. No bald spots left and a clean bill of health from the vet! He wasn't adrenal - just another abuse case. My husband and I named him Chatters. He recently learned to dook, stash Christmas ornaments under the couch, and play with our other 3 ferrets. His favorite place is in one or our laps, "talking" away. He found his forever home - here!
