Linda, If the owner doesn't appear, please call Hildy Langewis at (510) 886-4210 or Jeanne Carley at (415) 851-3750. Both Hildy and Jeanne deal with lost ferrets, or rescues if necessary. They may be able to help find the owner or may be able to help find a new home if necessary. I'm in Placerville (near Sacramento) and not really in the market for another ferret right now.
