A RESCUE centre has been swamped
with unwanted pet ferrets because cash-strapped families can no longer
afford to keep them.
Lincolnshire Ferret Rescue, based
in Grimsthorpe, near Bourne, is currently looking after 35 of the unusual
furry pets - more than six times as many as it normally cares for at
this time of year.
Julie Stoodley, who has run the centre for 10 years, said: "The demand for
ferrets as pets has increased in the last few years because they are still
quite unusual and make fantastic pets.
"They are like kittens all their lives and very sociable and playful, and are
great with children.

Ninna and Luchis peeked briefly at passers-by Sunday, sniffed at the
flurry of activity around them and quickly decided that burrowing into
soft fabric in their spacious cage was far more satisfying.
A pair of female ferrets, Ninna and Luchis were among 89 animals who settled
into new homes Sunday as 35 volunteers with the Greater Chicago Ferret Association
carefully moved them from a cramped 670-square-foot shelter in west suburban
Lyons to larger quarters three doors east.
"The move itself has been over a year in planning," shelter director Steve Malec
said. "For the association, it's a move to expand and get bigger. From the shelter
perspective, we did this move to ensure better quality of animal care. It gives
us more space for volunteers to work, and it's a more healthy environment for
the animals."

In recession, pets go homeless in droves |

Inland News Today

ELKHART, IN--Each day at five, staff members of the Humane Society
of Elkhart County close the animal shelter and hold a meeting. And each
day, like clockwork, they begin hearing a “thump, thump, thump” from
outside.
That is the sound of pets being abandoned by owners who either do not want them
or cannot care for them anymore.
Among the recent arrivals left in “drop boxes”, kennels that are
accessible through doors on the outside of the facility, are Sweet Pea, a Chihuahua
being nursed back to health from near starvation, a cocker spaniel named Cookie
and a “family” of three pets left together, a dog, a cat and rat.

The Daily Gleaner
It was a ferret free-for-all at Fredericton's first Christmas ferret frolic.
The event was organized by the Ferret Lovers Society of Atlantic Canada,
a group of ferret enthusiasts who perform ferret rescues, set up ferret
adoptions and offer advice and education about the pets they love.
The frolic took place at The Barking Lot, a specialty pet food store on
Hanwell Road, on Sunday afternoon.
Aletha Dobie, a Ferret Lovers Society board member, said the event was
the second fundraiser the group has organized, which also held a ferret
picnic during the summer.
Dobie said she owns five ferrets.

PHILLIPSBURG | For nearly six years, Debra and Keith Sadowski have
been trying to maintain their ferret rescue operation in town, but
a New Jersey Superior Court ruling threatens to undo all their efforts.
Debra Sadowski is owner of Furry Loving Ferret Rescue, which she
runs out of her Irwin Street home.
Attempts to establish the operation as a home-based business failed
before the Phillipsburg Zoning Board in 2003 and again in 2006. A Nov. 4 ruling in Superior Court in Somerset County upheld the
board's decisions because Sadowski failed to make any profit from
her business, according to her attorney, William Strazza.
Strazza said the judge noted that if the ferret rescue had nonprofit
certification, a home-based occupation would be possible. Sadowski
said the fees to apply for such status have been an obstacle especially
since she was laid off in January. A Nov. 4 ruling in Superior Court in Somerset County upheld the
board's decisions because Sadowski failed to make any profit from
her business, according to her
