I am risking alot posting this message because I never wanted to be a person who would do this... But I am in over my head and I need help, advice or whatever someone can do to help guide me in the right direction... I have 15 ferrets whom I have rescued over the last couple of years... these fuzz butts are my children, but my life has gotten so carried away and overwhelmed I haven't been able to take care of them like I should... Finances are a big factor, but for several monthes I have been trudging along trying to maintain my group and it is getting the best of me... I can't do it anymore.... The last thing I want to do is give my babies up but I feel I have no other choice I am not my best for them and I haven't been in a long time... Illnesses have gone unnoticed, and I feel guilty because if I paid closer attention and had more time they would still be here with me playing and enjoying life. But I have gotten to a point where I see their lives not being the best they can be... I want to do what is right for them can someone here help guide me????? help me find a soltion other than giving up my kids!!!! Candi - I am in Northern IL [Posted in FML issue 4461]
