Fondly nicknamed FiFi by the volunteers, Fiona has been at the shelter for four years now. She had been kept for the first year and a half of her life in a crummy little rusted, wire cage and totally ignored by her owners who lived in an ENORMOUS, very expensive house. She meant nothing to them, and they weren't bothered at all when they demanded that the shelter come and pick her up (limo service?) and remove her. She's a big, lots of junk-in-her-trunk, bitey-ish Canadian gal (although she gets better all the time) and she bosses ALL the boys around. Every once in a while, she even socks it to her favorite volunteer -- just to keep her in line, too. FiFi would love a ferret.com gift card so shelter mom can keep that kibble coming, and FiFi can keep her curvy, plus-size rolls.
Things the shelter can always use: Ferret.com gift certificates, Ferret Nation cages, Totally Ferret food (show ferret, senior or the new venison turkey food), Innova EVO, Alpha Trak test strips, Science Diet A/D, Melatonin Implants, Ferretone, Laxistat, Nutri-Cal or ear cleaner. We have a volunteer that makes and donates all of our bedding so we don't need any bedding right now.
A donation to our vet would also be wonderful, as we have been doing between three and nine surgeries per month for as long as we can remember. Please make sure you let Dr. K's office know that it is a donation to The Ferret Inn. Please send us your name and address, as we want to make sure you get a big thank you from all the kids!
This has been a very overwhelming year for all of the shelters in Maryland, and
we are no exception. Surrenders are WAY up, adoptions have been slow, and we
are at max capacity right now, but the surrender calls keep coming and coming.
The Ferret Inn is a 501c3, tax exempt organization, so all monetary donations
are tax deductible! Please know that Fiona will appreciate whatever you choose
to send and she's grateful that so many folks out there care so deeply for the
shelter kids.
