Marie - Thanks for taking in JoJo! I spoke with Kelly last night and she is, of course, sad, but thrilled that he is in a good, loving and forever home! All - Just a bit of background as we sometimes forget from some of the rants one of the real blessings of this mailing list. FACT received a call from a young lady in Vancouver, BC through our shelter ad in Ferrets magazine looking for help in placing her 6 month old ferret as she had to unexpectedly return to China for at least a year. I posted the need on the FML, and Marie stepped to the plate. On the owner's behalf, Marie and I spoke at length, as the owner was very concerned that her baby find a forever home and that she would have the opportunity to follow JoJo's progress. We were able to assuage her fears that Marie was a great home thus, JoJo would not have to transition from a shelter environment. This is precisely what FACT encourages owner's to do: Take responsibility for placing your ferrets. And we are thrilled to have been able to help make this happen via a supportive, indirect role and the help of the FML. Thanks BIG, and all the FML'ers who may not ever post but have stepped up time and again to help re-home a ferret or ferrets thereby taking a burden off the shelter system! But, even more importantly, getting a ferret re-homed in the very best of ways! Kudo's to all! Ann Gruden Ferret Association of CT, Inc. [Posted in FML 5779]
