I just got home from Lori's place. With my van full of ferrets. Lori's ferrets. While trying to organize this immense undertaking, in her heart she was agonizing over her own personal ferrets not getting much attention. Her whole gang are now enjoying a vacation at "Ferretworld". She cried when they left, but thanked me for taking a big load off her heart. I know she'll miss them and wants them back soon. She is an amazing person. I got the tour of the surrendered ferrets. An incredible overwhelming sight. Since I had a vet appointment already scheduled for Saturday I asked if there were any she felt needed immediate attention, I could bring them with me. She and her wonderful helpers immediately suggested one albino boy, he's here with me now. Overall I think it is amazing that out of that many ferrets there are few sickly ones. I'm sure more health issues could show up later, but at least her immediate concerns are NOT tied up with hand feedings, meds, etc. Simply feeding, watering and cleaning are the first priority. I had to laugh when I read on the FML - re-hang and refill. Smart little devils - Yep, I rehung a few water bottles LOL. She could sure use some extra hands out there. Just in the time I was there I saw volunteers from Columbus and Cleveland. Ferret people sure know how to pull together when the need arises.
