Gopher it! new mate 11/22/96 Hello all, just joined FML I've recently lost two beautiful ferrets last month, Houdini & Nikita. I'm not gonna go through the details of how wonderful and joyful they made my life for the past three years. I'm sure you can imagine. I still have one remainder kit, Lola, however, who seems very lonely and bored. I'm thinking of getting her a playmate after the holidays. Does anyone know of a good place to go in the Chicagoland area for an abandoned/unwanted ferret? Any shelters? I don't want to buy one from a pet store. It seems too many people are buying them for the wrong reasons and can't handle all the work that they require. I want to help out a ferret that needs a good home and lots of love. This ferret needs to have a lot of energy to keep up with my other or at least patience. Lola is less than a year old! Please keep me posted if you know of any place. Thanks!
