There is no secrete that we are building a shelter. Trust me this is worse than giving birth to your first born. I had a brilliant idea, ok, well I had this idea. One of our fundraisers is a design your own tile that is going into the building. I would love to have a wall full of tiles from clubs, groups, rescues, and shelter from around the world. Why you ask? To show how big the ferret community really is and to show that ferret shelters/rescues are not fly by nights and do deserve the respect that dog/cat shelters receive and are worthy of grants, even if a home run shelter. Now this is offer JUST FOR THE RESCUE, SHELTERS, CLUBS, and Ferret organizations (sorry not individuals). The tile would be cost. (I know how stretched shelters get) If you are interested in doing a color design tile, email me at [log in to unmask] and I will tell you what the cost would be. The shelter won't get any funds from these. But I feel strongly enough that it should be done, there has to be some way to show foundations that there is support for shelters out in the world wide community. Even if it is just shelters trying to help one another, and several of us do. Besides, only two tiles have been purchased and I can't do a wall with just two. If you are wondering how the fundraising and building are going, just check out the director's corner on our website, www.ferretsunlimited.org it hasn't been fun.
