I'm going through a divorce and due to my new budget I cannot afford to take care of as many critters as I have. It makes me extremely sad to do this because I feel that a home is a forever home. But at the same time I understand the responsibilities of being an animal parent and know that not being able to take them to the vet and feed them optimal food and so forth is not in the best interest of the critter. I want the best for all my babies so I know the best thing to do is adopt them to someone that can not only give them the love that I can, but all the financial luxuries that are required to keep them healthy. I have two female ferrets that I would prefer to be together and two male ferrets that I would prefer to be together. Then I have one older ferret that could go alone or with one of the pairs. Females are... Juliette: Blaze, not deaf. She was found roaming in a friend's yard in Ybor City in January. I suspect she is about 2 years old. Cliana: Dew, is deaf. She was found on a friend's back patio in the spring this year in Belleair Bluffs. I suspect she is only 1-1.5 years old. Both girls are extremely sweet and lovey. I can scratch behind their ears and get them to fall asleep in my lap. They also are both extremely playful. They will chase me all around the house with their weasel war dance hop! Males are... Pete: Dark Sable. He is extremely curious, crafty, is a climber. He full name is Sneaky Pete because he is always finding things to get into. Billy: Cinnamon/Sable. He is VERY attached to his human. He gives the best ferret kisses and will clean my face almost every time I pick him up. He loves being adored and will pout if I don't give him attention when I see him. He is definitely the alpha ferret in the tribe though, even with the cats and when he lived with dogs. he is fearless and I have watched him push the cats away from their food bowl just to do it. So his full name is Maniacal Billy because of this. The boys came together to me about 2 years ago and they were not quite a year when I got them. They came from another home where the owner could not afford to take care of them due to divorce. Badger: Sable. He is around 5-6 years old and came from a young girl that mother threatened to throw him outside in the wild. He clearly has Adrenal because he is pretty naked. Very sweet old guy, mostly just sleeps and eats now, and begs for ferretone. If by some miracle all 5, or even the 4 younger ones could go together I have a Ferret Nation cage with linens and accessories that can go with them. This model here is what I have. http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2752837 All the ferrets are used to other ferrets, cats, dogs from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. ***I also have 4 cats I need to find homes for if there are any kitty lovers out there. Heathcliff, male orange tabby about 2 years old. Valeria, petite kitten size female watermelon tabby, about 1.5-2 years old. Dishes, small female tuxedo, about 5-5.5 years old. Calliope, petite calico female, about 3 years old. All spayed/neutered. All have been either strictly indoor or indoor/outdoor. Most prefer most outdoor.
