Michael FitzPatrick, holding Ben, and his wife
have turned their Vashon Island home into the Ferret Shelter Northwest. |
The
Seattle Times

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... |

| PROVIDING SANCTUARY: Ms Campbell with some
of the animals |
HUNDREDS of rescued animals could be made homeless if the sanctuary
that took them in is forced to close.
Paula Campbell, owner of Rainbow Ark Animal Sanctuary, in Willington,
County Durham, may have to sell if she cannot resolve the home's financial
difficulties.
It was hoped that money raised from the sale of land owned by Mrs Campbell's
family could be used to keep the sanctuary going, but it was later discovered
that the land had been overvalued.
Ms Campbell, 42, said she could not afford to keep the sanctuary going
unless an alternative source of income could be found.
She looks after 214 animals with her two sons, James, 16, and Joseph,
12, on the farm her family has owned for 20 years. She said that even though she had been contacted by several land developers
who were interested in the farm, she would do everything she could to
avoid selling. Ms Campbell said: "We are struggling, both financially
and emotionally, and we don't know what is going to happen. Recommend this article... |

February 10, 2008 As a teenager, she happily shared her room with a family of mice --
until her father found out and ended the arrangement.
As an adult, Denise Cummings shares her Auburn home with her family
-- and 141 ferrets.
She knows some people think she's crazy. But then, the 57-year-old
says, she never figured on falling in love.
The year was 2002, and her adult son called to say neighbors were
getting rid of a ferret.
"She was a beautiful dark-eyed white," says Cummings, who went to
see the animal and found herself immediately smitten.

Couple opens hearts and home
MAPLE CITY -- A Maple City couple has a full house over the holidays,
accommodating an additional 25 guests in their modest home.
Lori Cole, her partner, Michelle DeVos, and their daughter, Cassi Cole,
14, opened their home and wallets to create northern Michigan's only
ferret rescue.
The three have owned ferrets for four years and have six as pets. The
remaining 19 are quartered in Warm Fuzzies Ferret Rescue and Shelter,
a nonprofit they established two years ago after finding a ferret they
dubbed KoKo trekking through their front yard.
"When we saw the ferret running through our front yard, we thought someone
was trying to tell us something," Lori said. Recommend this article... |

Sandi Robinson was worried. Rascal had been missing for six days after
the plumber accidentally let him out.
A psychic pinpointed Rascal’s location, Robinson tells her guests.
His left leg is hurt, according to the psychic, and he’s in a
bird cage at the bottom of a closet with a cat staring at him. He’s
scared, and whoever has him is feeding him apples and berries.
But ferrets are carnivores, Robinson told the psychic.
