Ferret Help *Bandit is okay!*

About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorThere IS help!
The decision to bring a ferret into your life and home should never be made on a whim. Bringing any pet into your home, in fact, should be a well-thought out and planned process to avoid possible pitfalls and heartache later on.
Our mission is to bring help to the forefront for those who currently own a ferret, or for those considering adding a fuzzy member to their family.
What does "help" mean? We're striving to provide information and education regarding everything ferrets. We're also serving currently as an avenue for help for those who may not have resources to pay for necessary medical care. We also will provide information and links to those needing shelters, foster homes.
Currently any financial help will be 'attempted' through networking. There are a few projects we are working on with regards to fundraising, collecting donations, and so forth so that we can help needy ferrets and their overwhelmed families with necessary medical visits, treatments, and medicine needs for their ferret(s). While we are working diligently on this, it may be some time before we are able to help directly. In the meantime... we are relying on the generosity of others who can donate.
We may not 'always' be successful in getting 100% of what funds may be necessary for a specific treatment, but at the very least we can attempt to combine our resources with that of others to reach that goal.
Check back with us with as we will be adding the following:
General Ferret Resource List (COMING SOON!)
Book List (COMING SOON!)
Links to sites with ferret veterinarians lists by state & city (COMING SOON!)
Links to sites with shelter Lists by state & city (COMING SOON!)
FerretHelp *official* web site! (COMING SOON!)
....and more!
Thanks for visiting....and caring about our fuzzy friends.
