* Permission to Crosspost Granted * I just spoke with Lori Sies and asked her to tell me what she needs so folks could start sending stuff to help. Lori has 600 ferrets right now and will be getting another 250 next weekend. Yes, ferrets ARE moving out of there, but when they go 20 and 30 at a time, it's seems slow. Here's how YOU can directly help Lori Sies and the DM kids: 1. Fleece scraps - 8" x 18". She does NOT have time to cut them so they must be pre-cut to that dimension. 2. Throw away bedding. I know shelters all over the country have old throw away bedding. Any kind -- sacks, hammies, whatever. 3. Lori has used alot of her good shelter bedding on the Mckay ferrets because she had to. It would be nice if we could replenish her shelter bedding stock as a small token of our gratitude. 4. KIBBLE: Totally Ferret, Zupreem or Path Valley ONLY. 5. Litter: No big surprise here. Lori buys her litter from Cinncinati Lab Supply at 513-941-3343. I spoke with Mike this morning and briefed him on what's going on. He was kind enough to offer to contact Zupreem to see if they would donate food (YAY!!!!, what a nice guy!) and said that ferret folks could call him and donate litter to Lori, using a credit card. She uses Cellsorb, 40 lb bag, cost: $13.77 each. They will be delivering to her NEXT THURSDAY, 9/27/07, just in time for the next batch of DM furkids. She also needs trash bags, paper towels, bleach, laundry detergent and cleaner. Those people that are driving out to get ferrets or to volunteer -- bring these items with you, or consider donating a Walmart or Target card so lori can use it to purchase those things. Please send your donations to: Lori Sies Ferrets Dream House Shelter 845 Tulip Road Lynx, OH 45650 Thank you for helping Lori and all of the DM kids. Let's hope they get to their new homes as quickly as possible. Lisa Oestereich [Posted in FML 5738]
