I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that the new Tualatin PetsMart is now ferret kits in their store. They are a "test" store to see how they go over. I guess I am real irritated because when you walk into PetsMart they proudly emphases that they do not carry puppies and kittens because there are already so many homeless animals in shelters. I guess they haven't done their homework. Since the ferret is now the 3rd largest companion pet, where do they think all of the cast off are going? Most Humane Societies do not take ferrets or turn them over to private shelters. They have an adopt-a-pet center but you have to be a 501c3 to use it. So, if you are a shelter and would like to voice your opinion to PetsMart, please write your comments to PetsMart, 19601 N 27th avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85027. We already have our hands full with Scamps and Petco! Chris Mathis Oregon Ferret Shelter Pacific Ferret Shelter Network Coordinator [Posted in FML issue 2532]
