Ferretwoman, I agree with you! Something smells fishy! I run the Fuzzy Loving Ferret Rescue & Halfway House in New Jersey and Miss Eblen never tried to contact me either. I sent an e-mail to her asking where & what KILL shelter this ferret was in and never got a reply. Miss Eblen contacted my friend on Monday who runs a shelter in PA telling the same story and was looking for "FUNDS" to save this ferret. Something doesn't quite add up here and because she had not responded to e-mails from people asking the where about's of the shelter and were willing to go get this baby, I am under the impression that this was a Scam to extort money from the good hearted people of the ferret community.
