Our local Petcos have pet food drives to collect food for the pets of needy or elderly people. They have donated food and supplies to shelters as well. However, there are no local ferret shelters in Southern California in the area these are in for them to work with. They do however sell a lot of ferret supplies. Of course, the shelters DO have to let them know they are in need before they can act. They are not psykic connection. ;) -- Jazmyn Concolor - [log in to unmask] National Alternative Pet Association P.O.Box 1688, El Cajon.
