FACT was contacted today by a shelter in Westchester, NY who will be taking 12 ferrets (along with some hamsters and guinea pigs) from a Brooklyn, NY shelter where they are being temporarily housed after being pulled from a hoarders home. We are told they are in good shape; but have no other information regarding ages, etc at this time. Hopefully we will know more when they are moved to Westchester this weekend. The Brooklyn shelter does usually adopt a few ferrets out, but already have several to be adopted and can't handle any more as they cannot legally adopt to NYC residents. Thus the Westchester shelter stepped in. We have 2 or 3 that are going to Tamara's Concerned Ferret Owners shelter in NJ. Ideally we would like to find other area shelters to take 5 to 7 of them. FACT can take 1 to 3 if necessary but then we are maxed out. We believe transport, within reason, can be arranged by the good folks in Westchester. It's a lot easier on all of us to only take 1 to 3 at once especially with summer drop off season around the corner. And yes, shelter has been found for the hamsters and GP's. Please email me directly if you can help. Thank you! Ann Gruden Ferret Assn of CT. [Posted in FML 7379]
