************************************************************************
If You'd Like To Send A Gift To A Shelter
You can encourage and support the wonderful people who work so hard for
the ferrets we love by sending email greetings, donating ferret gifts
or supplies, contributing to paying expenses, or volunteering hands-on
help. Contributions may be made directly to their vets to cover bills.
Or chose a shelter or more each month and send them $5 or $10.
FERRET SUPPLIES: If you want to mail supplies to shelters, you can order
them from one of the catalog companies and have them shipped directly to
the shelter instead of paying postage twice. Be sure to tell the company
and the shelter what you are doing. Just a few are:

The Ferret Haven, Inc,
Louisville, KY
I specialize in sick & old, "unadoptable" ferrets,
either give-ups that we're trying to avoid having to
go to one of the large shelters, or GCFA is good about
letting me know when they have a candidate that will
really never be adopted & I try to bring them
on-board.
My numbers fluctuate but usually between 15 & 20.

Pennsylvania Ferret Rescue Association (2 branches)
PFRA Sponsorship Program: For a donation of $60 or more, a cage is
sponsored for six months (monthly donations accepted in any amount).
A certificate of appreciation will be sent to the sponsor, and their name
will be displayed on the cage for as long as their sponsorship lasts.
Sponsors can also receive updates on the ferrets housed in "their" cage if
they so desire. The donation goes toward the PFRA medical fund, which
covers the shelter ferrets' medical (preventative and treatment) costs.

We have many older (5+ years) ferrets in the shelter who are adoptable,
but are recovering from surgery (and some are still in good health!).
Unfortunately, many folks don't want older ferrets. Sponsorships help pay
for their daily care and any medical care which arises.

We are unable to accept any more ferrets into our fold. All the ferrets
currently on hand are considered "unadoptable" due to old age, illness,
or special behavioral problems. We are committed to maintaining these
for as long as we possibly can. Also, due to family illness in the past
year, there has been a large adjustment in our financial situation.
