This is Susie Lee for all of us at the Ferret and Dove Sanctuary, Inc. We've adopted out two more ferrets and taken in several over the last few days, battened down the hatch-lings, too, and transferred all the doves by pairs into smaller and much sturdier cages mostly the sizes of single-storied ferret cages. Stored and saved extra ice to put atop the ferrets' quarters should the power be lost, which looks fairly likely... for even though we're up upon a hill in a secure suburban neighborhood, we're still just 2 miles inland. We shall ask, now, for assistance for the sake of the 49 ferrets and 19 doves who are dependant on us before the power is lost and our time is entirely taken in caring for our charges. We don't have this "pay-pal" thing-a-ma-roonie, partly because we don't understand it (both retired) but Do have the ferrets set up with their own bank account (old-fashioned, like us :) through which all their supplies and needs are accounted for. please send any checks or money orders made out to The Ferret And Dove Sanctuary, Inc. 3815 Tom Lane Drive Pensacola, Florida, 32504 We give the ferrets Mazuri Ferret food and Maxximum Nutrition Kitten chicken and rice, the cats (7) get the Maxximum Nutrition adult cats food. The birds have 25 pounds of seed in part thanks to our area's Emerald Coast Greyhound Rescue. We also help support our sister-shelter which has been taking in all the rabbits and guinea pigs that had come in to us, called the Rabbit Friends Sanctuary, so that anything we get that they can use, like rabbit food, they get. So here are some of the ferrets currently in residence who will be directly benefiting from your tax-deductible donations (for we certainly shall be sending each contributor a tax reciept as well as a thank-you).
