As you know, Steve and I give to this, but we think that it would wonderful if EVERY BREEDER -- LARGE AND SMALL -- tacked on $1 to $5 to the price of every ferret and that money was entirely DEDICATED to going to fund ferret veterinary research to help improve ferret health care. It could go through Morris Animal Foundation, or through the AFA's medical research arm, or to major veterinary universities and clinics directly -- wherever the breeder feels is appropriate. Every bit helps and helps a LOT. To give to Morris Animal Foundation (Specify Ferret Fund, please.): 1-800-243-2345; 45 Inverness Drive East, Englewood, CO 08112. YOU can make all the difference in the world when your donations and those of others who care adds to these funds. If you wait for others to do it all it simply won't get done and your heart will break in the same ways five years from now as it does now. Save a ferret -- it might be your own.
