>I don't understand if the shelter owner needs money for medical care of >gabriel, how can they afford to go to florida----- does this make sense? To the person who posted this ANONYMOUSLY, have you ever visited the Ferret wise shelter? Well I just came home from there with a beautifull boy I just adopted from Alicia. When me and my sister walked into the shelter we were amazed at the many curious eyes staring at us! I never imagined one person could have that much patience , love and devotion, to welcome all these homeless and abused fuzzy's. This person is obviosly not in it for the profit,if any, but for the care and rehabilitation of these animals. I think the Ferret Wise Shelter is a wonderful place and I would hate to see it shut down for lack of funds....so PLEASE keep the donations up, places like this do not grow on trees, it takes a certain person to do such work, not for profit, but for the sheer pleasure of a ferret getting a good home. Not only did I pay my adoption fees, but also left a donation, I was so impressed by this facility! Karen :) ( smudgie and her new friend tommy) [Posted in FML issue 1841]
