With her permission, I am forwarding further information from Rose Bruce, who operates a sanctuary in NY and has taken in one of the three surviving ferrets. Help for Keith and Evelyn can be sent to Rose. ====================== The outpouring of support from the ferret community has been overwhelming. Folks are donating clothing, furniture, food, etc...What they need are the supplies to have the shelter up & running when the time comes...cages, bedding, etc. However, it will be some time before the shelter is re-built. I just spoke with Keith. He and Evelyn have EVERY intention of starting up again, ASAP. There will be a need for "ferret stuff" in the future, which I can store for them if they choose. I have an apt within my house for guests, which is NEVER used-and is now used as our storage facility for our sanctuary. 9 Mid-West Ferret Nation cages were destroyed, as well as all other things a fuzzy needs. Yes, they had plenty of insurance, Thankfully. I cannot express my appreciation enough.

The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty. -Mother Theresa ~~~~ Judith White ~~~~ [log in to unmask] 610-626-6647 [Posted in FML 6226]
