Wow, I have read about the gentleman with 70 ferrets to place -- who doesn't seem to want to actually give any up. I can't blame him. I have just one, dear little ferret to find a home for, and this request is for real. She is about 3 /12 years old, an MF sable, and very sweet-tempered and playful. She's up-to-date on her shots and is in excellent health, except for a little extra weight. She loves dryer hoses and burrowing under blankets, and licking my nose. Since I adopted her 2 yrs ago, my financial situation and time committments have changed for the worse, and as much as I hate it, I just cannot provide her with the play, attention, security a ferret owner ought to provide. She deserves a better family. I adopted her through the Greater Chicago Ferret Association; they require any ferret adopted from them to be brought straight back to them, not independently adopted out. So properly, anyone interested in adopting her will have to do so through them - but I want very much to line up a home for her, before taking her to a shelter, even such a good one. Please contact me if you're interested, and and I hope we can work this out with the GCFA. She's a wonderful little weasle, who'd brighten anyone's day, and just deserves better. Thanks for everyone understanding I'm trying to do this in her best interest - just when I think I'm done crying over this, I surprise myself, but I just can't give her the playtime she needs with my situation like it is. Please help us out! Thanks, Bridget, & Mimi, too. [Posted in FML issue 4563]
