Three weeks ago we helped re-home two ferrets. The owners were moving to a area where they could not take them. They were VERY concerned who they went to, so we helped them connect with someone that had asked about adopting ferrets before. The new home seemed perfect, she was so willing to learn, had the right answers to our questions, etc. These were not casual conversations, but in depth questions/answers as with all folks adopting from/through us. It seemed the perfect arrangement for these two wee ones. A shelter mom near the adopter gave her a nice big cage and helped get her set up. The next day the ferrets were transferred from their former home to the new home. Early this week on a website.... For Sale Two sweet ferrets with big cage, $250 The shelter mom saw the ad (in her town) recognized the e-mail address, and called this person immediately. After some *serious* discussion, the woman decided to surrender the ferrets and cage to the shelter mom. Something about allergies, one didn't play much, etc. I might be more understanding had she just contacted us, or the shelter mom and said *oops, changed my mind*..... I do not like NOT trusting people, however.... Ardith Reno, NV www.nnfn.net [Posted in FML 5639]
