Hi All, Hope all your fuzzies are happy and healthy! I foster 5 ferrets. We are expected to feed them and clean them at our expense not the shelters expense. We are also expected to keep all the vet appointments that the shelter sets for them. Of course, they work around our schedule to make that easy on us. They pay for the vet bills. Occasionally if the shelter gets a donation of food then we are asked if we want some of it. BUT, that is just a bonus and not to be expected. Hope it helps, MJB [Posted in FML issue 5275]
