Hi everyone, It's that time of year again. School is ending, students are returning home, people are leaving for vacations, and the cute little ferret kits are all grown up. Consequently, the ferret shelter and rescue I'm a part of is getting rather full. I'm sending this message to help spread the word about the wonderful weasels, kits and adults that are looking for new homes. If you're interested in adopting a ferret please let me know! If not, please forward this message people you know that would make a good ferret mom or dad. Thanks! - Paige Sandeborne Ferrets for Adoption: Five males, four females The Sandeborne Institute: Ferret Shelter and Rescue is getting crowded! We have nine playful ferrets looking for good homes. Each ferret's name, age, coloring, adoption fee, and disposition is given below. All ferrets are altered, descented, and should get along with other animals unless otherwise noted. Pictures of each of the ferrets can be found at the Sandeborne Institute's website, http://www.sandeborne.org. If you or someone you know is looking for a ferret or two (or three!), please contact one of the board members of the shelter: Dayna Frazier, Director [log in to unmask] 804-946-2781 Paige Baldassaro, Asst.

(twenty-nine kits, to be exact) The Sandeborne Institute has welcomed twenty-nine beautiful, healthy ferret kits into the world in April and May. The oldest of the kits are four weeks old; the youngest two days. The bloodlines of these kits are fully documented over four generations and combine German, Canadian, New Zealand Welsh, and American show genes. None of the bloodlines produced albino ferrets. The four week old kits, parented by a cinnamon jill and a silver hob, are beginning to show their colors: blazes and sables with and without mitts. Many of the kits will be for sale for $100 each in a few weeks. *All proceeds go to the shelter.* Paige [Posted in FML issue 2677]
