Please consider giving to one or more of the shelters on the FML Shelter List. The updated December 1999 list is completed and will be sent to you as soon as BIG is able to get it out. It is a list of shelters on the FML which contains their contact information, some data about their current conditions and needs, and the names and addresses of their vets. I prepare the list 3 or 4 times a year in the hope that you will keep it for future reference for adopting ferrets, and in the hope that you will be moved to share your time or resources with at least one of the shelters. S.O.S. (Support Our Shelters) has not received the same number or amount of donations as last year and, although people are still buying The Ferret Coloring Book from The Ferret Store, recent sales were used for a second printing of the book. This means that Ela, Georgia and I will not be able to help as many shelters this year through S.O.S. The Shelter List contains suggestions for ways to help and ways to support the shelters. Please look over it when you receive it, and save it somewhere that you can find it in the future. Happy Holidays and a Joyful (and safe) New Year!
