Hello all! I am pleased to announce that with the unfailing help of several volunteers - most notably Terri C/NM ferret mom extraordinarie - there is now a listing of lost and found hurricane ferrts on the FACT (Ferret Assn of CT) website at http://www.ferret-fact.org Need several favors! Anyone - Please follow the links and help me identify anything that doesn't make sense or looks weird. Just shoot me an email. Anyone with Katrina lost/found ferret info - Please review the list! The "petfinders" site has been a super place - but it is NOT the only place for lost/found lists. Also - I know that others have been working independently with rescue, shelter and fostering of hurricane affected ferrets. I would like to be able to add this information to the list. That way we could all point ferret owners/adopters/fosters/foundlings/etc to one place. The Animal Emergency Response Network (the petfinder/Maddie site) is already becoming harder to navigate. People with ferrets have to search under "small and furry" that includes multiple species. The mission is to try to make it easier for ferret owners and saviors. Anyone - I suspect there are other animal orgainzations like Noah's Wish that may not be posting to the petfinders Animal Emergency Response Network site for whatever reasons. These need to be "discovered" and that data added. How sad to think that one list has a found ferret and another list a lost ferret and they cannot be reunited!!! Please note - I am not identifying those willing to foster or temporarily house foundlings. Sadly, there seems to be few found and more lost. If you have room in your house and heart - PLEASE contact your local ferret shelter and adopt or foster. That is the very best legacy and help you can provide. Let those poor lost ferrets lost to the storm and circumstances live on through those who have been abandoned or displaced through no fault of their own. EVERY ferret deserves a home! Thank you all for your efforts and feel free to contact me via this list or privately. Ann Gruden President, Ferret Association of CT, Inc. (FACT) [Posted in FML issue 5009]
