Hi fellow ferret peeps!! On Saturday, March 14th our rescue will be attending our local animal control's yearly Adopt-a-thon. This is an event every year where we set up a tent to educate people about ferrets and clear up any misconceptions they might have about them. We do not adopt out ferrets the day of the event and just accept applications. Yes, very rewarding and fun for us. Last year there were over 50 pet related tents set up for this event. One of the dogs that played Marley in Marley And Me will be there to boost attendance. We were able to speak with several ferret owners and educate them about their ferrets and teach them new things about taking care of their ferrets and what to expect of them. Since we are fairly new in this rescue business (2 years now!) we really don t have a lot of booklets, info or pamphlets to hand out. Last year I ordered some from the American Ferret Association and they were generous enough to give us some extras for this year event. I also made up some little pamphlets for last years event as well. Along with our set up we will have a color chart and a large board with several ferrets pictures up on it with them doing cute and crazy things. We also have a few left over emergency stickers for windows. More are needed!! If anyone has any good educational material, small ferrety items to raise money with, or simply just pass out to anyone we would greatly appreciate it Please email me for our address. Thanks so much!! Kim Stinky Pete's Ferret Retreat http://floridaferrets.webs.com/ [Posted in FML 6242]
