Hello to you all -- I have a little more information now, plus a question: About the ferrets themselves, they are safe where they are, at least through Sept, and probably more. Also, I believe that I can have them sheltered for a time after that. I'm looking for a licensed CA ferret shelter that could take custody of the ferrets after they must leave where they are. Is there a list available? The idea is that the shelter might be able to not only take custody for me but also get them across the state line to a shelter that they could be retrieved from by the person transporting them. People have offerred this very practical help to the person(s) who might transport the ferrets north from Calif: - If someone can get the ferrets to Brookings Oregon (9 mi. no. of Ca.) the ferts could stay there a few days. - If someone can get the ferrets to Bandon, OR Oregon (an hour north of the CA border) the ferts and the transporter could spend the night in a guest house. - [abt problems w the CA-border check stations] During the last week of Oct, there will be help you getting the ferrets across the state line.
