Being up here in Maine, at the end of the known world, it's not often that we get offers of ferret supplies. We are a small shelter that so far, has mostly managed to survive on what adoption fees and drop-off fees we manage to get. We also have a few Great Sponsors and benefactors that take care of us in one way or another. Recently, I received an email from someone that I had never talked to, emailed, or met. I had seen her name on the FML, in eBay auctions, etc, but never had we communicated. This email was from Rose at Little Feet Ferret Bedding, and simply said, that she had some ferret bedding that would like to keep some ferrets warm., and wanted to know if we would like some. I responded back to her that we can always use extra bedding, especially with older ferrets that are less than accurate with litter pans. I don't know what I was expecting, maybe some old bedding that had seen better days, or something that she threw together in her spare time. What we found when we opened the package on Saturday, was some of the most beautiful hammocks, sleep sacks and cozy beds, made by someone that really knows what she is doing. The workmanship was top-notch, and you can tell they were made with loving hands. Also in the package, was treats, F'tone, lots of ferret-eggs, and other items that any needy shelter could use. The kids had a blast shaking the eggs around and quickly stashed the in all of their favorite hidey-holes. The card in the box simply said...Enjoy, Rose. I could have simply emailed Rose directly, and thanked her from the bottom of our hearts, and that would have been fine with her, I'm sure. Instead, I wanted others to know that there are great people out there, that do things for us shelters, out of the goodness of their hearts, with nothing asked or expected in return. There are good people left in this world. Rose, you have made a couple of tired shelter folks happy, and lots of shelter ferrets warm and happy. Thank you!!
