HOME NEEDED FOR VERY CUTE FERRET Hello. I am a new subscriber to the ferret list and I wish I'd found out about it sooner. I found out about it in the context of trying to find a new home for my lovable little beast and hope that maybe someone can help. I have been diagnosed with hypersensitivity pneumonitis, a very rare immune disorder in which my stupid immune system thinks my ferret is a foreign matter and is trying to fight her, causing lung inflammation and eventually worse. My choices at this pint are to find a new home for my ferret or stop breathing. I am really heartbroken about this, but hope that some of you ferret fans may know of a good home. My ferret is completely healthy; the immune reaction, like an allergy, is completely my problem. Laska (the Russian word for weasel) will be two years old in December. She is a sable ferret with a very defined mask, spayed and descented, litter-box(es) trained, very friendly and good with kids. She is calmer than most ferrets, perhaps because she has always been an only ferret, and likes to cuddle when she's not being a complete nutcase. She is used to having the run of the house, except at night when she sleeps in a large cage. During the day, she sleeps in dresser or desk drawers or in my bed. Laska met other ferrets only once and she did not seem to like it at all, so I think she would be best off in a home without other ferrets (although perhaps she would adjust?). She has gotten along with cats and with one particularly calm dog. Ideally, I would like to find her a home in or near Madison, Wisconsin (where I live), and I would like to be able to visit her once in a while (outside, where I'm less likely to breath her antigens). However, I would consider a good home elsewhere. I would very much appreciate any help you can offer, especially if you live in or near Madison. My email address is: [log in to unmask] Thanks!
