Fuzztek shelter has weathered the storm fairly unscathed. Neither location has potable water, Yvonne is boiling water for drinking, Anne managed to purchase 16 gallons of spring water in another area not affected by the flooding. With more rain and flooding anticipated today, it is possible that it could be another week or more before sanitary water is available. Anne is in an are with almost no water pressure, and being asked to use minimal water, so no cage cleaning, laundry, etc. (Of course pans are being scooped...) Yvonne was without power for a day, but had a generator running, and was without telephone service for three days. It has been restored now. We have informed the Red Cross, local shelters and SPCA's and vets that we will waive normal boarding fees and accept any ferrets in need of temporary shelter, but so far have no takers. We just want to thank all of the folks who haved checked in with us to make sure we are OK. So far we are holding our own...when we look at the hundreds of people who have lost everything, we feel pretty lucky. For the folks who have asked if there is anything we need... Yvonne would love bottled water, and if the water restrictions in my area aren't lifted soon, I will be looking for a place where I can come and throw a couple loads of ferret bedding into a washer and dryer. -Anne [Posted in FML issue 2812]
