Hi Sandi! I just wanted to let you know that although I cannot take this ferret in myself, I would be available to help get her to her new home if you find one. I will also post a note to the general board to this effect, in case it encourages someone who lives a bit further away to try to take her. I live in Birmingham, about half an hour from Pell City. I'm staying in a tiny house with my sister's family, having been driven out of Pensacola, FL, by Hurricanes Ivan, Dennis and Katrina, and my Pug and four ferrets are already pushing the limits of my sister's generosity. :) I would, however, be able and willing to pick up this ferret "Tootie" and drive it as far away as 200-250 miles to help her find a forever home. My time and gas money would be a donation to her cause, so I wouldn't be asking anything of anyone. If we cannot find her a home and if The Ferret and Dove Sanctuary in Pensacola could perhaps take her in, I could possibly even get her all the way down to Pensacola. Just let me know if I can help. Also, I just wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how much I admire your dedication to ferrets. It's such a shame that you had to shut down your rescue shelter, but it's always amazing to me how long you shelter folks are able to hang on before the expenses just get to be too much! I had sponsored a couple of your little guys for last year's Giving Tree, and I had been praying for things to turn around for you. Good luck there in Florida...I'm going to keep my eye on the next couple of hurricane seasons and may be back down there myself within a year or two. Again, thank you for everything you've done for the unwanted and abused and elderly ferrets, Sandi! Sydney Chadwycke [Posted in FML issue 5183]
