Your original agreement was for one (1) year and it has now not only been ever two, but the woman is unable to be contacted. This constitutes abandonment and Mappy can now be considered yours. This is how I got my first ever ferret. His human went away to college that he then dropped out of. At first we saw him a couple times and he would buy a bag of food once in a while. Sonn, he quit coming altogether and was not even providing supplies per our agreement. After a year, I declared him abandoned and mine. We never saw his boy again and had settled in with us quite happily. [Posted in FML 5664]
