The Ferret Association of Connecticut is offering a special promotion in order to encourage everyone to pick one or more ferrets on the Ferret Giving Tree. There are still so many there needing Santa's! Anyone purchasing supplies or a gift certificate at FACT's new Ferret Treasures store - http://www.ferrettreasures.com/ - can have their gift or certificate mailed direct to the shelter. And since we are big believers in supporting other shelters, anyone doing so can use a coupon code for 10% off their giving tree charitable purchase. To get it, sponsors need to send an email to the shelter director, Vanessa Gruden: [log in to unmask] Just send her the name of the ferret and shelter you are buying a gift for so we can confirm how you want it mailed, etc., and she will provide you with the code and work out any special details in advance. In addition, in recognition of your generosity, FACT is also going to offer buyers the opportunity to become a member of the Ferret Association of Connecticut for the reduced price of $20 per year (normally $25). This entitles you to the FACT printed newsletter which is published 5 times per year. A sample copy is posted on our website at http://www.ferret-fact.org/June-Septemberpp2012.pdf Just let Vanessa know you want to become a member when you contact her - sorry, we just can only do this for US addresses as international postage is going to get really ugly next year. Please make note we've have had some up/down issues with the new web host for Ferret Treasures, so please excuse any short-term blackouts.

FACT chose not to add ferrets to the tree because there are so many shelters in need in a shaky economy. All of our ferrets - in the shelter and in our foster homes will have gifts this year - thanks to our donors, foster families and volunteers. This is just a small way for us to give back a little too. [Posted in FML 7623]
