The recent storms and floods in the midwest occurred in areas where there are ferret owners and ferret shelters. If you are a ferret owner or shelter operator, and have had to evacuate your home without needed items, or if you know of someone who needs help due to the recent events, please contact F.E.R.R.E.T. by email at [log in to unmask] or call one of the board members (numbers listed on the website). As always, you can reach me at (860) 906-8798. If I don't answer the phone, please leave a message and a phone number where I can reach you. -- Renee Downs "Eventually we will realize that if we destroy the ecosystem we destroy ourselves."
