Ferrets Are Available
For Adoption!
We want to emphasize that we do have a wait list, first come, first served. 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.
We just want to make sure the ferrets have the best home possible. We encourage free roam above all but understand when a cage is partially needed for the ferret's safety at times. They don't mind an open door policy and settle down in one if they can choose it. Just remember, these are sentient beings with personalities, and are not ornaments to be brought out when YOU want to play. Try to see through the eyes of the ferret, staring through bars at you. How would it make you feel? These are rescues and they usually have issues due to cages.
We get a lot of ferrets that are older or have medical problems, too, that we usually have to take care of on our own. Some are too fragile to move on and must stay here.
Consider what pets you currently have, especially dogs. Can you guarantee the safety of the ferret as it free roams? If not, get a gerbil. When it comes to cats, ferrets eat on the floor, and so do cats. Cat food is terrible for them; it's a fast track to disease due to pea products. Consider the cats safety, too; ferrets play hard! We had a ferret here that was mauled by a cat, so be wary of your situation.
Also consider your children's maturity level when it comes to owning ferrets. Kids are great with them but must remember that ferrets are fragile and can easily be hurt.
SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY!
We appreciate your interest but think it over! I've had people contact me then float away, never a peep again. Then my inner Karen comes out, and it's worse, because I'm a FERRET MOM! I don't mess around when it comes to their well-being. Sure, ask questions but let me know, hey or nay, what your intentions are. The ferrets are waiting for a loving home, don't get in the way!
If you were on the wait list before and never heard back, let me know! I am working on their pictures and will add soon.
Miss Chomps, 5 years old, is so named because of her habit for biting ankles when she's upset. She has quieted down a lot, biting habits happen when there is stress in the ferret's life. She has benefitted from the Milkbone Minis Biscuits and leaves crumbs behind. She gets along with others to a certain extent but is ok solo and very sweet, just misunderstood. She has many years left and is very independent. She would love a single person or couple to bond with. I don't think she would like kids, other pets, and the chaos that comes with it. Be careful handling her a lot at first, let her explore and know you. Chomps is worthy of so much love! Just have respect for her boundaries!
Cinnamon and Artemis are 1 and 2 year old girls who are sweethearts! Cinnamon had a mast cell tumor removed from her cheek and is doing great. Artemis needs an adrenal shot; she has a swollen vulva. They are a bonded pair and stay together. Artemis has a momma nature, lots of empathy towards other ferrets, especially the newbies. Cinnamon is loving, too. They wouldn't need any other ferrets but each other. As soon as we can raise money, will be getting that shot for Artemis; perhaps then she will be more desirable to adopt.
Coming Soon!
We had a family of 4 come in recently. One needs surgery, the other 3 look ok. They have a week to go to observe their choices and see what their behaviors are and if they hang together. Some families don't want to be around each other!
UPDATE:
Of the 4, the 2 girls seem to hang together. They are both Blackfoot ferrets, at least 3 years old, named Luna and Ivy. We're confident that they would go together and not miss the boys. They will be ready to go soon enough, so if you want them, now is the time to contact us.
As for the 2 boys, both about 3 years old, Big Cheese is trying to heal and his brother Nibbles is here for him. As you might guess, Nibbles likes to bite and needs to work out his issues here. They can go together someday, or Nibbles will be a single if Big Cheese doesn't leave. This happens a lot here; ferrets toss old alliances and form new ones, through death of a partner or simple free will to find a new friend.
