I know a lovely, very responsible lady who would love to have a ferret. She will not go into a pet shop and buy one, but only wants to adopt through a shelter. She lives in Tampa, Florida and is willing to travel. There used to be ferret shelters in Central Florida (east or west coast or Orlando area), do any still exist? I'm afraid I've been out of touch with the ferret community for a while. She has never had a ferret and I spent a lot of time talking to her about them, the good and bad (expensive), and she still wants one. I will guide her through taking care of her first fuzzy. Thank you so much. I do monitor the FML or you can reply to me at [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] .
