[Identical post also submitted by Susann Thiel <[log in to unmask]> BIG] Friends of Ferret Shelters Raffle for The Oregon Ferret Shelter "The Oregon Ferret Shelter is currently housing 170 shelter ferrets waiting for homes. With the economy being scary for all, we are seeing approximately one ferret a day knocking at our door needing a new home! I often wonder how many people are leaving their own skin kids at hospital doors! Many need surgery, which isn't an easy feat to accomplish right now. We have 10 furkids waiting for adrenal surgery. We have a wonderful, understanding vet, but a $5700 vet bill still has to be paid." - Chris Mathis Hurry - this is your last chance to enter to win prizes in the Friends of Ferret Shelters raffle for The Oregon Ferret Shelter. The raffle ends this Friday, February 13, at 9 PM. Check out the prizes, including two new recently added specialty items: Check out the BEAUTIFUL "Around the World" handmade quilt in the colors of water, sky and earth.
