Dear FML and friends, I would like to make several clarification's to the article that appeared in the Sept./Oct. 1996 American Ferret Report (AFA's newsletter) on page 16: 1. STAR*'s Grant is NOT exiting the shelter business (as the headline claims). My private ferret shelter, Pet Pals, had to be closed for my move to a new residence. I have now re-opened as a ferret referral and placement service, as was released on the FML and other sources in late November. 2. STAR* Ferrets is a NOT-FOR-Profit network service. Funds received for subscriptions are used to produce a quarterly newsletter, a book entitled _Ferret Care and Rescue_, copying materials for free distribution at the HSUS Animal Care Expo and booth space at the annual expo, plus ferret care literature and resource listings sent to anyone who requests information, whether they remember to send the SASE or not. 3. STAR* Ferrets did NOT change addresses. Pet Pals did take the liberty of using the STAR* postbox for the transition, and will be sharing in the cost of maintaining the Post Office address. 4. Once again, my shelter is not closed, nor is my direct work in rescue and adoption at an end. I am piloting a new method of doing ferret placement, which, if successful, may be expanded to a national endeavor. For more information about ferret rescue, adoption, placement, care, shelter operations, etc., please send a SASE to: Shelters That Adopt & Rescue STAR* Ferrets P. O. Box 1714 Springfield, VA 22151-0714 Thank you, Pamela Troutman Grant [Posted in FML issue 1793]
