Mr. Scotch, The Pacific Ferret Shelter Network is willing, capable and able to take ALL of your ferrets and rehome them. All 11 shelters have dealt with large scale rescues in the past and have plenty of room, knowledge, and love to help out your ferrets. You would not need to eutanize any of them and we beg you not to. We have funds, foster homes, and wonderful vets to deal with issues just like this. No one can really help you until we know where you are though. You've listed 12 states in the union, but which one are you in? We would like to help, but can't organize transport until we know where we would be going. If you work with shelters you can be sure no one would get them because they are "cute" etc. We deal with this every day and have extensive screening processes. We have tried to contact you three times about helping you before you posted this here. Is there a reason you don't want to work with our shelters? I do hope that you realize that we are here to help. The safety and health of the ferrets is what is important here, so if you only have 6 months, please contact someone from the PFSN or another shelter that you do trust to help you. We don't want to see any ferrets euthanized even if they are sick or old and we're all willing to take on that extra burden voluntarily.
