Hey Ellen, The following info is posted on our shelter site for boarding: "For the safety & protection of all the ferrets in our care, we require that all visiting ferrets be tested for ADV & current on their vaccines, proof to be provided by Veterinarian records. For a single ferret we charge $5.00 per day, if you supply the food, and $7.00 per day if we provide it. For each ferret after the first we charge an additional $2.00 per ferret per day (your food) & $3.50 per ferret per day (our food). For example, if you have 3 ferrets to board and are providing your own kibble we would charge $9.00 per day. (1 ferret @ $5.00, plus two additional ferrets @ $2.00 each = $4.00 for a total of $9.00). If, for the same 3 ferrets, we are to provide the food the cost would be $14.00 per day. (1 ferret @ $7.00 plus two additional ferrets @ $3.50 each = $7.00, total of $14.00) IF YOUR FERRET IS ON VETERINARIAN PRESCRIBED MEDICATION YOU MUST PROVIDE IT IN THE ORIGINAL BOTTLE WITH PROPER DOCUMENTATION. This can not be stressed enough. While we do not charge extra for boarding ferret needing medications, we again do accept & appreciate any donations. At the time of check in, we provide a contract for all boarding parents to sign in which we require your Veterinarian's contact information along with a signed "Permission to Treat" form in case any medical needs arise. The contract also states that any and all expenses incurred by us for your ferret(s) medical care while we are boarding them needs to be reimbursed to us by the responsible party before we will release them. Please note that the person dropping the fuzzies off also needs to be the person picking them up at the close of the contract period unless otherwise arranged at the signing of the boarding contract AND we have met the pick-up person. ALL proceeds raised go to the upkeep of the ferrets in the shelters guardianship. Additional donations are accepted & appreciated." I hope this helps.
