Gaston Co. has a ban on ferret ownership. I have contacted the county and found out how to change the animal ordinance, but the request for a change has to come from a Gaston County resident. If you are, or know someone who is (ferret owner or not - doesn't matter) a Gaston County resident, please email or call me to help.
