There are more people than ferrets! Please read all below about the wait list and if you qualify.
We never know when a ferret comes here and when they are ready to go. We like saying this all revolves around Divine Timing! So please, get on the wait list if you're serious about wanting a ferret. It's easier for me to get your email with your info to start. But first, read through this to understand what we're looking for in a Farent BEFORE you contact us.
Let's keep it simple!
Do you have to put the ferret in a cage and close it for an amount of time, like work or sleeping?
Then NO!
I don't want to waste your time. I'm sure you're great but it's not the type of life we want for the ferrets! I get numerous requests for a playmate for some poor ferret that's lonely and depressed, needing a friend. Or, introducing a single ferret in a collective of two or more, involving a cage. It's like a cell mate! It won't work out with these ferrets if it's not an open-door policy.
A ferret can do well in a dedicated room, but how much time alone in there? At least in a bedroom, there's intimate contact with a human at times, but a ferret in just one room will be bored and miserable. These are social creatures that should be able to get around, choose haunts. Mostly they sleep all the time but will meld their schedule into yours. They are nocturnal and love the night!
The main haunts for ferrets are in blankets, under and in dresser drawers with a fuzzy sweater or anything else. Just be careful with piles of laundry; they will groove on your scent and wrap up into it. They love to burrow, needing total darkness. Anything that's enclosed makes a haunt! Cat condos can be converted for ferrets, too! Add soft items, attach tubes with a staple gun.
Kids are great, and can really grow with a ferret companion, taking it out on a leash and harness or supervising the ferret for a while in the rest of the home. Is your child or teenager mature enough to do that? Ferrets will cuddle, but don't like being mauled, too.
If you have a zoo with critters and kids underfoot, this just isn't for you if the ferret has to be caged for its safety. It's too much chaos for a ferret, and you should reevaluate your decision in wanting a ferret. If you have a cat, you can't feed it on the floor if their food has pea products in it.
Does a ferret fit into your lifestyle? Rather, do you fit into the ferret's lifestyle? If you're busy all the time and just want some casual entertainment when you see fit, these aren't the ferrets for you.
We just want to make sure the ferrets have the best home possible and will continue to have free will to choose. The ferrets are very capable of independence, finding their way in a ferret safe home.
Here at Left Field Ferrets, we are training ferrets to be part of a family! It's like a Hogwarts for magical ferrets! These are special creatures, sentient beings full of Light and Love. Their gift to humanity is opening our heart chakras, the "warm and fuzzy" feeling you get when you interact with them. The love inside, you take it with you! We feel these spiritual treasures are lost in a cage.
If you meet these conditions, then get on the list and we will talk!
When we connect and you're getting a ferret(s), this is what to expect.
In addition to your email address, I will need your name, address and phone number.
I trust in the Light but good will only goes so far in today's world. If you are lying to the Light, it's very bad Karma. I can sniff out a lie like a fart in an elevator, so beware! I'm a ferret mom, ferocious about these fur babies! Kind of neurotic, too.
You will be required to come here for the ferrets.
We can arrange a time and day and are 24/7.
Updates are required.
Everyone has an email address and some tech to send me pics through email. Tim posts about the ferrets on Facebook, and their comings and goings here at the rescue. And a lot of former owners want to see their babies move on to a better life. This has happened recently, and their hearts are broken because they can't. Which broke my heart. Never again! It takes a lot of love to give up a pet for its own good, so have some Respect.
After all this, yes, the ferrets are free. We ask for a donation, even a small one helps. Most important is giving them the food they require and the freedom they crave, with all the love you have. You will be enchanted by the love you get back!
