My youngest son, Aaron, was in a terrible accident March 22. He wasn’t expected to live, but he did! He was in Allegheny General Hospital for 11 weeks and has now moved to rehab. He is paralyzed and I’m spending a lot of time with him, and learning how to help him take care of himself.
As a result, I haven’t been as available to adopt ferrets out. Now I have way too many ferrets, and virtually no applications. It didn’t help that the guy from Romania stole my old website. I’m pretty sure a lot of people are ending up there, wondering why nothing works on my website 🙁 I’m not Internet savvy enough to know how to fix that, so I’ve just been limping along with fewer applications and a lot more difficult schedule.
I have some very nice ferrets here that I just haven’t had time to photograph, upload and describe. I even have some young ones. Of course, I have the usual set of nippy little @#$# as well.
If I can’t find homes for these ferrets, I will be forced to send them away to other shelters, and I’d rather not do that. So for now, except for ferrets under a year old, I will entertain offers. What are you willing to pay for a nippy little @#$# who is young, healthy, happy, playful, likes people, but who isn’t reliable with children? (Selena, Melody). How about a few older ferrets who are sweet, playful, loving, don’t bite but who have a health issue? They deserve a loving home, too.
I am feeling very guilty for not being able to find the time to market the ferrets, but at this point my son has to be my main priority. Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions, wants to foster, would like another ferret or is willing to take on one of the NLS (nippy little @#$#) ferrets.
Here is Chantilly Lace, who was found dancing around in the middle of an intersection. She is very playful, gorgeous and nice, but is afraid of other ferrets, so she needs a separate playtime.
This is Selena, one of the NLS girls. She would be fine in a house with experienced ferret owners, but isn’t safe for children. Her nipping has cut way back, but she is VERY aggressive to other ferrets and would need a separate play time. She’s fun, but you’ll probably want to wear shoes and pants when she is out. If you keep her distracted (like with a fishing pole toy) she doesn’t bother you, but when she wants attention, she’ll nip your ankle.
The application can be found here: Adoption application. I have more ferrets than those listed, too. Help!
