I got a call from a lady in my town the other day - her son brought home a ferret that some other kid was letting loose in a wildlife park (Hidden Pond Nature Center). She didn't want him to keep it. Seems the kid who was letting it "free" had gotten the ferret from some other kid who didn't want the ferret anymore either. So, I took him in. I guess him to be about 4 to 5 years old, nice sable coat, MF, blind as can be, with a very clingy personality. I call him HP. If anyone out there is interested in giving the older gent a good home, I'll give him a distemper shot free. He looks like he has been fed cheap cat food a lot, he has a spare tire around his middle, but he took to the quality food at my house with no problem and his stools look fine. I also still have a sable 1 year old MF female in need of a home. Adoption fee with this one though. Both are children friendly ferrets - no shipping of live animals - I'm near Washington DC if you want to come see these ferrets. Pam Troutman Grant [Posted in FML issue 1988]
