Current: Why Nanette has a ferret on her toe |

A visitor has arrived at the Fox Valley Ferret Shelter and the curious
inhabitants leave their nesting boxes and hammocks to investigate.
They line up shoulder to shoulder on hind legs, waiting to receive
their guest. It is their guest because all a ferret surveys is its.
The woman who shares their old town hall in rural Outagamie County
explains.
"The ferret's motto is M-I-N-E," Nanette Thurber says. "If I want
it, it's mine. If I think it's mine, it's mine. If I break it into
pieces, the pieces are mine."
They have laid claim to her, too. Some people rescue dogs. Thurber
rescues ferrets.
Today, the headcount is about 25, though that will go up as spring
and summer arrive and people grow weary of coping with creatures that
live to outsmart them. That hide shoes behind the toilet and keys under
the TV. That can move an object several times their weight and vanish
into any opening large enough to accommodate its head.

New T-shirts disappear with only the packaging left behind. Food left in a bag
disappears. A cell phone charger vanishes.
These items are of no value to burglars, so who takes them?
"Ferrets are smart little thieves," said Anita Berg, who has 22 of the furry
creatures that live with her and her husband in their Lindenwood Park home. "If
you don't know where they like to hide things, you're in trouble."Berg is one
of 15 active member of Furry Ferrets Underfoot Running Round You (FURRY) Ferret
Rescue, a non-profit organization that rescues, adopts and educates people
about ferrets.
Furry works with other animal organizations, such as the Humane Society of Missouri,
to rescue ferrets. Anytime an animal organization comes across ferrets dropped
off at their shelter or through a raid, they call FURRY. Furry takes the creatures
and then seeks foster homes until they can be adopted. Creatures with severe
injuries stay with the members. Recommend this article... |

Location: Halifax
A WOMAN who has run a ferret
rescue centre from her home for the last decade is moving out.
Carol Pope is now seeking foster
homes for the animals as she prepares to close down the Oasis Ferret
Rescue Sanctuary at Cragg Vale.
Carol, 62, is losing her home at Bent Close Farm, Coppy Nook Lane, where
she has lived for four years along with her cat, three dogs and 22 prize-winning
ferrets.
"I have to move out of here on April 1 and my choices are a six-man tent, my
portable shed 'the ferret hotel', or a flat – but there isn't a chance
I can get all my ferrets in there.
"I am going to have to shut the sanctuary down and find foster homes for them.
They are my passion and I am absolutely gutted."

Friends of ferrets to the rescue! |

COURTNEY BLETHEN / THE SEATTLE TIMES
Michael FitzPatrick, holding Ben, and his wife
have turned their Vashon Island home into the Ferret Shelter Northwest. |
The
Seattle Times
March 2, 2008
Josey the ferret is one of 14 critters now living
at the FitzPatricks' in-house shelter.
Michael FitzPatrick runs his fingers up and down the long, thin belly
of a nearly four-pound white ferret named Pugsley like he's playing
an accordion. Three other creamy white and brown ferrets — Houdini,
Buddy and Bonkers — explore open pant legs with twitching noses
and tickly claws or disappear inside plastic tubes. In cages equipped
with litter boxes, water dispensers and secondhand sweaters, still
more ferrets sleep in hammocks and wait for their turn to play.
In all, 14 ferrets live on the second floor of this small cabin on
Vashon Island, home of Ferret Shelter Northwest. At the center in a
ferret baseball cap and slippers — essential footwear for living
with small, curious and quick critters — Michael is "alpha ferret," in
the words of Miriam FitzPatrick, his wife and partner in the effort. Recommend this article... |
