Hi all! I received a call on Saturday from a frantic ferret owner. She has a five year old ferret that she owned since he was a kit. Apparantly, he accidently escaped and a maintainance person found him running outside the condo grounds. Her neighbors were up in arms and threatened to call animal control. They gave her until Wednesday to "get rid" of him. She owns her condo but apparantly a "no pet" ordinance was passed that she never did see. She is extremely upset, and rightly so. Until this incident, no one even knew she had him, not that she was keeping him a secret. I wanted to help out, but my ferrets are carriers of ECE (Greenies). This ferret is five and has never had contact with other ferrets. I didn't want to bring such an old and naive ferret in my home. I told her I would look for alternatives. She is in the process of selling her condo and finding a place for her and her fuzzy. Some friends of hers have offered to take him, but only if he is caged. He isn't used to being caged, so she is looking for someone who may be able to give him more attention. She currently is living in Bethesda, MD. If anyone in the area knows if they or anyone else can take this poor little fuzzy, please let me know. The owner knows that she is asking for a long term commitment of at least a couple of months, but she is desparate. Ellen Byrne H: 301-540-2756 email: [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1489]
