I think Fran from Morning Star Farms has a good idea. Sadly, we all prepare for emergencies and disasters but forget one sad fact ... our beloved pets may face a terrible fate one day if left to chance.. Any of us could be gone surprisingly fast.. I have decided 2007 is the year to get my affairs organized.. Thank you Fran I live in Northern Nevada (Fallon) and am looking for a few sanctuary/rescues in the west that would be willing to step up and either provide a forever home or find orever homes for my crew. Please send all contact info and brief note about your shelter/sanctuary policies to me off list.. [log in to unmask] I prefer to ask the ferret community for this instead of asking family members. Taking care of final affairs is hard enough without having to worry about what to do with "Crazy ol' Lisa's" Menagerie. And truthfully, I want to be certain they will go where their needs are understood and where bonded pairs/groups will be kept together. This community is the only place I would turn.
