Our house is up for sale, and as soon as it is sold we will begin construction on a larger home. Until the "big move", we act as an information & referral service, and take in emergency cases (including animals from local shelters which will release them to us). Most ferrets remain in their current owners homes unless there are extenuating circumstances & they need to be removed/placed immediately. In that case, we will take them and put them into foster care. At the present time, people seeking new homes for their ferrets and people seeking ferrets are put on a referral list and we put them in contact with each other. **************************************************************** Christine & David Mathis Kimber Brawley, DVM MS [log in to unmask] Companion Pet Clinic Oregon Ferret Shelter 3150 NE 82nd Avenue 17560 S Holly Lane Portland, Oregon 97220 Oregon City, Oregon 97045 503-252-1601 503-557-8369 Ferrets in Shelter: 75 at beginning of January 15 ferrets adopted out 10 ferrets remaining **************************************************************** Chere McCoy, [log in to unmask] Dr. Brenda Ernest, DVM Ferret Friends of Westside Animal Hospital Indian River County 1795 10th Avenue 8775 20th Street, Lot 614 Vero Beach, FL 32960 Vero Beach, Fl 32966 Ferrets in shelter: 12 Incoming ferrets: 1 Cancer or Insulinoma: 5 Blind ferrets: 1 Deaf ferrets: 1 Outstanding Vet bills: $404 Wish List: Nutrical/Ferretvite, Totally Ferret/Iams Kitten **************************************************************** Stephanie Mudgett, Dr. Steven Caffrey, DVM [log in to unmask] Fryeburg Veterinary Hosp, PA Ferret Services of Freedom 5 Pine Street RR 1, Box 1592 Fryeburg, ME 04037 Freedom, New Hampshire 03836 Total ferrets in shelter: 6 Adoptable ferrets: 1 Permanent residents: 5 Being rehab'd: 5 Sick or injured: 3 Needing surgery: 3 Needing sponsors: 5 Adopted out: 4 Wish List: Sponsors for the 5 that can't be adopted out, Nutri-stat, Ferretone **************************************************************** Megan & Mike Scott Dr. Zeitlin, DVM [log in to unmask] VCA Lake Worth Ferrets in the Sun Club & Rescue 3401 2nd Ave. N. 18F Crossings Circle Lake Worth, FL 33461 Boynton Beach, FL 561-735-7879 Total ferrets in shelter: 9 Adoptable ferrets: 3 Permanent residents: 2 Being rehabilitated: 2 Sick or injured: 2 (both adrenal problems) Ferrets needing surgery: 1 exploratory (adrenal) Ferrets needing sponsors: Izzy (malignant-adrenal/insulomnia) Skeeter (adrenal) Ferrets taken in this month: 2 Unpaid vet bills: $325 Unpaid shelter bills: $700 Wish List: Wysong or Nutro Natural Kitten food, decent sized Cages and accessories (heavy crock bowls, hammocks, bedding, etc.).
