Do you know anyone that would be willing to give those two white with black eyes ferrets a forever home? I have to go into several major surgeries and I'm so scared for them to be in anyone's care while I am going through this thing starting in August, maybe mid July. All the supplies, food, treats, toys, and EVERYTHING, plus extras for the babysitter's or new owner if becomes attached to them, will get monthly money and/or things from us for their own ferrets as well. It's making me crying to the point of being sick at the thought of having them in someone's home, scared if they'd be mistreated or abused. I'm very, very overprotective person when it comes to them. I would do ANYTHING to have them in a GOOD and trusted home with someone that can be trusted. I'm bursting in tears all over again as I type this right now. It's hurting right now to even think about it. I hope I can visit them, even drive distance to visit them, the hell with the doctors' orders. I also would provide a camera, a digital camera so we can see how they are doing, too. Is there anyone you know that you can help me with this two sweet boys? Boy, I have a box of Kleenex here that I'm forever wiping my tears as I try to see this computer screen clearly to see what I am writing. I am usually a very tough person, but inside, I'm falling apart which is not the norm for me to express my real feelings to anyone. I've often been called like a military person who has the strong feelings to hide the true feelings, but right now, I'm not able to do so. Animals are my life and I have never given up on any ferrets, EVER in my lifetime. That is what hurts so much. If it is to babysit for few months or more, it is OKAY with me, too. Any questions, please ask. Anything, no matter how big or little they are. They are very healthy, bonded, and do not get along with other ferrets as they have been best friends all their lives. I cannot trust the person, the landlord who is the owner of this house, to know anything about ferrets except to feed water and food. It scares me very much because ferrets are complicated at times. I'm thankful they're very healthy right now. They would come back to me the moment I am back on my feet in a heartbeat. If someone bonds to them, I would be okay, if it is okay for me to come and say hi once in a while, even 3000 miles away. Nothing, not even Hurricane or Tornado with a name can keep me away. Their hearts are my hearts. I am sorry - please forgive me for babbling here. It hurts a great deal with this whole situation right now and I'm breaking down the more I think about the time I watch their faces when I have to walk away, even for a week. Crazy, I know, but they're my life. My surgeries are as a result of the car accident, a hit and run situation, when I transported animals to Georgia. Been in the hospitals four times and discovered more injuries that needed to be fixed. Couldn't believe the worst time to have this happen. Please let me know. God knows, there's so many unwanted ferrets and I intended to adopt two more once I am back on my feet to help whenever I can someday.
