NIBBLES RAFFLE - Frontier Ferrets Rescue and Shelter(Wyoming and Utah) If you read the email last week you would have learned about these two wonderful ferrets that came into the shelter with Frontier Ferrets. They are currently at the foster moms, Mary Hogan, in Utah. I've been to this house.. I know this wonderful woman who gives of herself to these kids every day of her life. She's an amazing woman. but of course if you tell her that she'll just say that the ferrets are amazing. not her. The vet said that Nibbles needs to have surgery as soon as possible. Nibbles is about 6 years old, adrenal, insulinomic, blind due to cataracts in both eyes, has walking difficulties and at some time in her life her tail was broken and it is now quite crooked. But these things have not stopped her from wanting to get around to check things out. The vet thinks she is still a surgical candidate but we need the funds to get the surgery done. Since the shelter is technically closed we are strapped for funds (all adoptables are taken in and then routed to other shelters but they will take in ferrets that AC calls them about or are referred to them that cannot be adopted out). The surgery there in Utah is around $450. UPDATE: Nibbles is doing great with her foster mom Mary. She even crawled up into the bed with her last night. That is. NIBBLES crawled into MARYS bed. I just don't think Mary would have fit in Nibbles bed! Nibbles decided that Mary needed to be groomed at 3 am. So. hair, face, arms. all nice and clean. So to raise funds for her surgery we are selling a few items on eBay (added more today) http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZferretQ5fcorner - seller ID ferret_corner We are also having a RAFFLE!!!! You can PICK YOUR PRIZE PACKAGE for this! Yep! Pick which one you want your money to go to. Put all of it in one prize package or split it into a couple or all of them! 6 prize packages in all! $1.00 a ticket or 6 for $5.00 Some great items. (I personally want the last one. Sophie!) http://www.geocities.com/ferretcorneraz/FnF.html I want to thank everyone that has helped with either the eBay or with the raffle so far. You all truly amaze me every day. When a shelter needs help you all step up to the plate each time to help. Thank you. Joanne Ruffner Ferret Corner Shelter (PS---- if there is money left over from this. it will go towards Oscars check up and for the vet care for other ferrets that come into the shelter. There are NO accounts at the vets. It is a pay as you go. So putting a + in there would be wonderful. but right now we just want to make sure that Nibbles surgery is covered.) **permission to cross-post granted** Raffle: http://www.geocities.com/ferretcorneraz/FnF.html eBay: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZferretQ5fcorner [Posted in FML issue 4866]
