FURRY in St Louis is going to apply for a grant to stay in operation. What they would like is a letter from anyone who has done anything with FURRY, stating how much FURRY helps St Louis and surrounding area. They need letters from people who've adopted from them, from people who got their lost ferrets back, from people who've gotten advise, etc. Also what would happen to all the ferrets around here if FURRY wasn't there to take them in when the owners needed to give them up for whatever reason. They've a had a few come that were just left outside somewhere and found by a good samaritan who called FURRY. If FURRY wasn't around, who knows what would happen to all the ferrets given up. I'm sure a lot of them would be destroyed, or worse, starve to death when their owners let them go, out into the "wild". Or get hit by a car. No one else around here takes ferrets, so FURRY is needed! Lots of letters will help secure the grant, so please, everyone write in! You can email me, email Kurt and Karen ([log in to unmask]) snail mail it to the shelter (go to www.furryferrets.org for the address) or bring it to our meeting Wed night. Thank you!!
