For Transporting: [log in to unmask] Julie For Adoption, volunteering, donations, emails: [log in to unmask] Cindy At this time I am assisting Lori with emails so she is able to devote immediate attention to the needs of these rescued ferrets and we can be faster at replies to those people that need an immediate reply . I try to condense the list so that Lori can get through the news of each day faster than individual emails. So if I can be of any help please email me at the above address. I do have both Adoption contracts for individuals and shelters and will be more than glad to attach them in an email to you. The contracts that were sent out from Lori, were a general bulk mail to all individuals and shelters. Believe me, Lori, as a non profit shelter herself, realizes what it is to be a shelter and the limited funds available. The Shelter contract states a donation, it does not have a certain amount listed nor what the donation is to be. The main purpose is to find homes for these rescues and help is needed in all different aspects. Yes, a PayPal account was listed for those that were able to send something no matter what the amount might be. S.O.S. was contacted today regarding the Shelter Contract. Yesterday, I was helping out with the rescued ferrets and it was just an unbelievable site and the needs tremendous. At the present time, the ferrets are being housed in the cages that they were transported in from the McKay farm. Cages - A top priority is to obtain cages for these guys and of course all that is needed for these cages. Water Bottles- The water bottles are difficult to fit onto the cages they are in at the present time. Also in just a very short time, 5 days - these guys have learned that not only can they get some water from this contraption but they can also play with the bottles and try to move them around. Somewhat of an endless task to fill, re-hang and re-fill. Smart little devils. Food - Yes, these little ones eat and eat and eat. All they have to do is hear Lori filling the food cup to be distributed to each cage and they make a beeline to that food dish. As I said before, smart little devils. I do not have the answers to the questions posed by Sukie and I truly feel that Lori is the only one that could answer them informatively. I am sure it will be soon when they will all be answered but for now this is the best that I can do. Having said all of the above, I hope it helps others get some insight as to the happenings going on with the rescued ferrets. A heartfelt thanks to all that have been so positive and ready to help in whatever way they can for the betterment of these ferrets. For all t hat have set aside all the differences for now, God Bless You All. Cindy [Posted in FML 5738]
