Hello, My name is Katherine Robson (I'm the one with the faulty e-mail address), and with Pam Greene's support I would like to make a proposal to all those ferret groups, shelters, and REPUTABLE Breeders out there. I've only been on the FML for a short time, but I've noticed a lot of requests for breeders and shelters and information on ferrets. My idea is that I would get in touch with all the groups that are out there and format a ferret group index for Pam's Web page and also make a file that I could ship out on the new group every once and awhile. This idea includes groups who are on and off the Internet and I don't particularly care about particular politics-(people will figure that out on their own). [Moderator's note: The fine S.T.A.R. database by Pam Grant is available from the server - ask for FERRET DATABASE. In fact, it's just been updated today. Kathy may or may not have something else in mind (Kathy?) but no sense reinventing the wheel perhaps if it's what you had in mind. BIG] I've noticed that their are a few groups the post on the FML, so if you would like to have me do a page for you, than you can e-mail me for further details-(my proper sig is [log in to unmask]). I know their are two groups that have their own pages, but if you don't have the time, I could do it for you. THIS IS TOTALLY FREE! My interest here is purely the ferrets and the necessity to spread information about them. The idea behind this is, someone who owns ferrets out in LA-LA LAND and has access to the Internet can read the Web pages or the news groups and find that there is a group for ferrets in LA-LA LAND too, and perhaps that will inspire them to get involved with the group, through funding or just simply getting their next ferret from a shelter! If you know of any groups that are not on the net, than email me their address and I will contact them the old fashioned way and ask them if they would like to participate. The whole idea behind this is spreading the word. If we don't know there's a group out there, how can we support them?! And besides, this will help us in our networking to get ferrets legalized everywhere! If you are interested, and I hope you are, or if you just have more questions than please contact me at [log in to unmask] and I will answer all your questions! Thank you for your time!
