It would have been extremely helpful if you would have posted what kill-shelter this ferret was in and how to contact them. I e-mailed you, checked my e-mail every half an hour, and had a plan all ready to rescue this ferret, get it to a vet where it would have been checked over, ADV tested, and boarded until we got the results. I had people from several ends of the state ready to do what they could to help this poor almost-PTS ferret. And you never replied. Not a thanks for the offer but it's been taken care of. Not a peep from you. Also, you say you contacted everyone you could think of in NJ to help out. But the shelter I volunteer at (Scales and Tails) never received a phone call or e-mail about the situation. Something just isn't adding up with this story. Or, maybe it is.
