I few days ago a neighbor asked my son if he knew anyone with a ferret they wanted to sell or give away. It seems a friend's ferret had ran off a while back and this friend was looking for a replacement. My neighbor assumed that because my daughter has a ferret, that we somehow have "ferret connections". The truth is, my daughter's ferret was originally purchased out-of-state and then given to her when the first owner got tired of taking care of it. Since we live in a FFZ, I haven't a clue whether or not ferrets are readily available in our area. My question: where would be an appropriate place for my neighbor's friend to make discreet inquiries; or is this even possible or recommended. The local vet we take the family dog to has a few ferret patients, but I wouldn't want to put anyone on the spot. We're located in the south San Francisco Bay Area if that helps. middleman [Posted in FML issue 1364]
