We at Ferret Friends Disaster Response International are saddened to here the news regarding Christine Mathis of the Oregon Ferret Shelter and her family. I would like all FML members to go back many years when we all responded to the horrible disaster in the Northeast (shelter ferret murder case & response for shelter ferrets still alive)! Christine was of incredible assistance during that horrible time. For more than three months she worked steadily to rescue, shelter, transport, and place the ferrets that were still alive but ill. When you think about whether or not to contribute to the fund for the Mathis Family and their shelter - Remember what she did then, what she still strives to do today. Thank You Chere McCoy Director, Ferret Friends Disaster Response [Posted in FML issue 4581]
