To Laura with the CWFF:
 
My husband brought our 3-month old ferret Fresca from Memphis to New York on
Northwest.  We were given a lot of misinformation about traveling with her --
the fact is, ferrets have to go in cargo (unlike dogs et al.  which can
travel in the cabin.) You need a vet certificate of health (i.e. proof of
rabies vaccination) and must pay a $50 surcharge when you check in.
 
Good luck with the rescue!
