We now have 3 people offering to match up to $500 each for money donated to IFC/ELF to help the Ohio rescue. That's a total of $4 for every dollar you donate! So you know where those funds are going, so far we have: * made a direct cash donation to Lori to help with expenses. * purchased cages from The Ferret Nook and Martin's Cages that will remain the property of IFC/ELF/FERRET for future emergencies. * paid for the shipping for donated Path Valley food. * helped pay expenses for bringing large truckload of supplies to Lori's. * helped pay expenses for picking up large number of ferrets for distribution to other shelters. We know there will be continuing expenses for these ferrets for many months, and are dispersing funds carefully. Please find a way to help if you can!
