To anonymous concerning allergies - In eight years of practice - I have never seen a person who is allergic to ferrets. They appear to be hypo-allergenic, at least in my experience. My wife Colleen is extremely allergic to cats but has absolutely no problem with ferrets. I would venture to say that most other owners with cat allergies will tell you a similar story.....
