Furry Ferret Friends Of The South

Ferret Lovers

Our Mission Statement ...

                                            

The goal of the Furry Ferret Shelter is to care for all

homeless ferrets  until a New permanent loving home is

found. We are a 100 percent no-kill shelter --no ferrets

are ever euthanize due to lack of room. We offer

sponsorship and foster programs. Someone can sponsor a

special needs ferret that remains in the care of the

shelter for $10 a month. (This helps defray medical costs

for a specific ferret). The foster program allows an

unusually geriatric or special needs ferret to go to a

foster home for extra TLC while still being financially

supported by the shelter. Ferret adoptions are available

for $100 through three years of age, and $60 for ages

four and up.


 

Distemper shots given prior to adoption are those

appropriate for the age of the ferret kit. All ferrets are

also ADV tested and receive an AVID microchip that you

can have registered in your name. We Are Hoping to

typically have 40 to 75 ferrets available for adoption at

the shelter. If you are considering a ferret for a pet,

please see the section Ferret Care - tips  This will

provide you with useful information about ferrets to aid

you in deciding if the ferret is the right pet for your

home.


Are you a Ferret lover? Can you help to support our

efforts?

 

Please  contact the shelter at (843)394-8894 and ask For

 

Crystal or and write to us

how you can help.

 

 

 

 

 


 

  If you want to adopt, be sure you know what's ahead

of you. Ferrets are high maintenance pets and require a

veterinarian with "ferret experience" - not always easy to

find. You will need a ferret proof room-cage, with

accessories, and five to eight years commitment on our

part. We are dedicated to the betterment of ferrets lives

and expect you as a new owner to be as well.






We are located in Lake City South Carolina about 25

miles From Florance South Carolina. We welcome visitors,

however is advisable to call first,Please Just Ask For

Crystal or Jesse Teal..... as we may

be out finding a ferret. If we can help with any

questions you have on ferrets, we will be glad to help but

we may also request that you call your vet - as there are

many areas that you are best helped by someone with

medical information.






Any and all ferrets are taken in; we make

no judgments about health, age or condition.

If health is a problem, they are taken to our

Veterinarian, immediately

handle the problem so that they are not in

the shelter with other ferrets that might

become involved with a problem they have.

All efforts are made to save all the ferrets; euthanasia is

not an option until all other efforts are exhausted and the

ferret  is in pain.

 

 

Our shelter is not large (But I'm Trying to working on

changing that)

Dear Santa,

are you real?
some of the old timers here at the shelter say you are.
They say you brought them stuff last year,
everyone got his own hammock and sleep sack.
The new kids here say you are a fake.
I believe the old timers.
My name is Angel.
I was sent to the shelter cause I bit my human.
I didn't mean too,
I didn't have food for a looong time,
and my belly hurt.
When my human gave me food,
I was excited and bite him by accident.
He hit me, hard,
and i tried to tell him I am sorry.
He didn't listen..

He called the shelter, and this lady showed up.
I was so scared.
I bited her too, and I meant it.
Hard, with all my might, and you know what?
She didn't hit me, she said och och och.
Then she put me in a carrier, and it was clean!!
With yummy food, water and a sleep sack,
even a litter box!

After she had my old dad sign some kinda paper
saying he didn't want me,
she got mad at him and told him
that I shouldn't have been in an aquarium,
and he should have cleaned the poop up.
She said it was filthy,
and I was filthy cause I had poop on my fur all over.
And I shouldn't have been in cedar chips.
Oh, was she mad at him.
I don't know why, I didn't know any better.

She brought me home and picked me up and I bit her again,
and she just talked to me.
Then she gave me a bath, and I bit her again.
And she petted me.
She cried when she petted me.
She said I was skin and bones and needed to be taken to the vet to
be sure I was ok.
Well, he put something in my butt!!
And I bit the lady again!
Magine having something put in your butt!!
They took pictures of my belly, and I had to have surgery,
something was in there,
and he said I had a broken tail at one time.
I guess I ate something I shouldn't have.
But I am all better now.

She give me duck soup, it is so yummy, she gives it to everyone.
And there is food, lots of food, I never go hungry.
And I have toys.
I am still afraid, and sometimes I bite,
but she doesn't hit me.
I get time out.
I don't like that.

If you are real, I would like to ask for two things.
Could you let all the humans that love us know
that there are allot of us in places called shelters,
and we need homes?
Specially the old timers,
they say I will be adopted cause I am young,
but no one wants them cause they are old.
I won't complain if I have to wait for all the old timers to get
adopted.
They need their own mom and dads.

And one more thing,
could you please help shelter mom?
She was crying.
One of the old-timers died.
What is died?
She took his sleep sack and put him in it with his favorite toy.
And he went away.
She cried allot.
I tried to make her feel better by not biting her.
I even tried a kiss.
It didn't work.
She said his heart was broken,
and all the medicine and vets couldn't fix it.
At least I think that is what myopothy means,
it was broken.
We gots another old-timer that is bald,
has the broken heart thingy, and is blind.
She loves him, and she cuddles him,
and she cries when he doesn't feel good.
Could you fix his heart so it won't be broke?

That is all I want for Christmas Santa,
homes for the old timers in all the shelter places,
and to fix a broken heart.
And for shelter mom lady to be happy seeing all the old timers in
good homes.
I don't mind waiting for a new mom or dad,
and I promise to be good.

A box of raisins would be nice too.

Angel
