Whatever happened to Jean
Caputo-Lee's plans for Ohio's only ferret shelter in Parma?
They never happened.
Last year, Caputo-Lee, who operated Ferrets Unlimited, moved to Virginia
and disbanded the nonprofit rescue organization, which she had run from
her Cleveland home since 1992.
Armed with a substantial donation, Caputo had purchased a property in
Parma in 2006 for what would have been Ohio's only ferret shelter. At the
time, she was keeping the rescued ferrets -- which numbered more than 80
-- in cages in her Cleveland home.
After she decided to move to Virginia, Caputo asked other ferret rescue
volunteers to carry out her vision for a shelter,

While cats and dogs rank among the most popular pets, ferrets are the
top four-legged friends for Winnipegger Kelly Yager.
The owner of seven ferrets said she fell in love with the small critters
in 2001 after spending an afternoon playing with them. Since that time,
she's had 16 of them, each of them living an average five to eight years.
In addition to being a ferret owner for the past eight years, Yager
has also shown her love for the species as a volunteer with the Manitoba
Ferret Association (MFA). The organization runs a no-kill shelter, rescuing
orphaned and neglected ferrets, and raises awareness about the animals.
"I've been called ferret-crazy but I don't care -- I like them," said
Yager, laughing. "They're playful and very outgoing. They're a lot of
fun."

Ten years ago, MaryBeth Stanistreet knew very little, if anything, about
ferrets.
But one night in 1999, the paramedic was surprised when a ferret ran
out of a bush and sat on her foot.
"I took him home," she said. A week and a bit of research later, she
had named him Chichi, was feeding him kibble, had gotten him up to date
on his shots, had purchased a cage, toys and was walking him with the
family dog.
Chichi had "won her family over," she said. As for Stanistreet, she
was hooked.
Now the president of the Ferret Rescue Society of Ottawa and Area, Stanistreet
fosters 30 ferrets in her country home.
There are a lot of misconceptions about ferrets, said Stanistreet.
"They are not wild animals," she said. "They've been domesticated for
over 2,500 years. They're wonderful pets. Cats can be indifferent Recommend this article... |

In 1994, Barbara Clay's pet ferret, "Rocky," climbed
out a window in her home and was never found. A year later, she visited
a ferret breeder to buy another.
But she found horrible conditions and a breeder overwhelmed with
230 ferrets. She offered to help find homes for them and ended up
creating Rocky's Ferret Rescue and Shelter. She set up cages in an
old milking parlor on the former dairy farm she rents in Parkton
and moved the ferrets in.
Clay has since arranged adoptions for 3,000 ferrets of all sizes,
ages and colors. Today, she has 30 ferrets available for adoption,
and generally keeps no more than 40 at her shelter.
Rocky's is hosting its annual fundraiser, Ferretstock on May 30
from 2 p.m. to midnight at the pavilion and picnic area at the Parkton American Recommend this article... |

Vicious and scary or just cute and cuddly
ferrets? |

Telegraph
THEY may look vicious and a
bit scary - but ferrets are really cuddly.
At least that's what Sheffield couple Dean and Debbie Wain say - and
they should know.
The Wains, from Popple Street,
Grimesthorpe, are the man and wife team behind Ferret Hutch Rescue -
an organisation which cares for ill and abandoned ferrets.
At the moment they have 34 of the hairy beasts - 15 of their own and nine which
they are looking to rehome.
Dean, aged 32, who works as a security guard at the Northern General Hospital,
has been caring for ferrets for years.Recommend this article... |
