I had the idea that people on the FML who are interested in how our FML shelters are doing would like to see a monthly summary of their status. I e-mailed all the shelters which have contacted me at other times. Eight of the shelters were able to send me the information I asked for. Hopefully, others will do so in the future. What you all do with the information is up to you entirely. However, I admit I do hope it will inspire some of you to send encouraging e-mails, send ferret gifts or supplies, contribute to paying their vet expenses, or purchase coupon booklets. These are wonderful people who are working very hard for the fuzzies we love. [Moderator's note: The shelters knew this was going to be posted to the FML.
