Thought-what needs to be done on the fund for ferrets: 1. Designate someone 1. open a checking account and get a visa debit card (acts like a visa, but debits out of the checking accout. 2. Go to the court house and register a non-profit organization. 3. Fml er's can send money, wire xfer money, etc. 4. Vets can either take the visa card or wire xfer $ from the non-profit checking to the vet or person needing help. 1. Just make sure you document all ins and outs for IRS purposes. (Just keep a good and clean set of books) Sherri- I think that's crazy on putting a ferret to sleep-If a dog or cat bits in a vets office all they think of is they were afraid. Poor ferts get a bum rap at times. They are the sweetest, funniest litter critters that I know of. Love them all. Josie- Hope things get better-our little fuzzies seem to know when we need a laugh or some lovin. Holly- My vet told me to flip them on the nose when they bite hard. GiGi was a nipper, but no more than a puppy or kitten trying to play. It's amazing how alittle ferret gets more flack than cats & dogs. Richard- If you get any data on the program for ferrets, please let me know. Thanks Jim- You are correct the FML is there for all to enjoy. If I could I would save the world, but we all know that one person can't possibly do it all or even try to afford it. I do my best to help what falls in my path or comes my way. I love all animals sooooooo very much. Nothing is more loyal or loving. Melinde & GiGi #:>) psssss-please all the little fuzzies and owners get well. [Posted in FML issue 1559]
