We know how hard it is for folks who want to travel but can find no responsible person, who also knows ferrets, to sit for thier ferts. Also, many ferrets are sold after being owned for a long time, just because the owner will be away for a few months, or so. If this is your problem, we are willing to care for a few animals*, in these circumstances, for NON-PERMANENT specified periods of time. We would not charge much and only would require that you set up with your vet that any emergency care your ferret might need, could be debited on your credit card number immediately when we take the ferret there. Just as a safety measure, in case of emergencies. We are proudly owned by 6 adorable furballs named Slinky, Vixen, Shawnee, Chewy, Snowy, and Sweetie. We've a lot of experience and love to share. We'd hate to see someone have to give up thier ferret just because they couldn't find a sitter who knows ferrets and who would do extended sitting. We use the Montreal Bird and Exotic Animal Hospital as our vets, but have used other vets previously. They have also been notified that we will shelter ferrets in need for specified time periods. *Ferrets must be up-to-date on thier vaccinations and have had a clean bill of health (written) from thier Vet.
