I lived in Oregon on the CA border. There were no ferret groups, shelters or rescues in the area. The nearest one was inland in the Medford area. I don't know if you are coastal or inland. There are a few in the northern OR area. Crescent City (border town in CA-coastal) is very hostile about ferrets. The vets there refuse to even allow a ferret in their office. One vet has an employee with a ferret and she has to drive to Oregon to a vet. I even sent this Vet information about Gray Davis legalizing ferret treatment by Vets, but he would not change his standing. (Maybe he is afraid of ferrets, ha ha ha). I was wondering if their might be ferret groups in the Reddings, CA area. Anyone out there know? [DY] [Posted in FML issue 4944]
