Dear Ferret Friends. Greetings from California! Unfortunately we cant say "wish you were here when actually we wish we were there. Rescue in California continues to be frustrating, stressful, and a challenge. Not to mention financially challenging, particularly in one area where the Department of Fish & Game Patrol Chief insists on a state licensed courier to transport ferrets to Nevada. Each transport costs us $100 - $300, depending on how many ferrets are being transported. If an owner is involved, more often than not they will not pay the expense, leaving us holding the bag. The alternative is unthinkable. Donations and eBay auctions have kept us going, but it's not enough. We've had a few courier transports and we're wiped out financially and drained emotionally. I simply don't have the energy to write a cute story and then ask for money So... WE NEED FUNDS! No story told in a ferret voice. Plain and simple, we need help. If we had a few hundred dollars in our PayPal account, at least we wouldn't worry about paying the bills and we could focus on helping ferrets. Please donate via PayPal, our account ID is [log in to unmask] Note your mailing address and we'll send a receipt. We are not a 501c3 so donations are not tax deductible. Thank You, Robin Jones California Domestic Ferret Association [Posted in FML issue 4959]
