Almost a month ago I saw a ferret listed on craigslist and as usual, I emailed the person with some advice....look out for snake owners, be sure the people you sell the ferret to have a ferret vet, etc. They were asking $75 with cage & supplies. After sending my advice laden email, I didn't hear from the owner and thought that was the end of it. Out of the blue I received an email that the owner would take $25 if the ferret was going to a good home. She did....my home. Crying my heart out, I buried little Doshia then we all left on a 3 hour trip up the OR coast (and then a 3 hour trip back home) to get another little girl ferret. Little Moxie was living in an old, tiny cage, no hammocks, no bedding, and eating cheap cat food. Her "toys" were plastic baby bottle nipples. Her treats were pieces of cheese. The reason the owner was getting rid of Moxie? "She doesn't like my cats." "I can't let her out of the cage because she doesn't like my cats." "One of my cats doesn't like her." "I really wanted a white one." Moxie is sugar sweet.....just like Doshia........my heart is mending. Nancy and her 15 again..... plus 16 cats.....oh well [Posted in FML 6435]
