MARY
Mary is five, and everyone who meets her falls immediately in love. She was
rescued from a wildlife rescue that knew nothing about ferrets. She was bald
when we took her in, but we found that instead of adrenal disease she actually
had lymphoma (the hair loss was apparently just from stress). Mary told us that
she just was not ready to go to the bridge yet, so we started her on Cytoxin
once a month for her lymphoma. We’re happy to report that six months later,
Mary is doing very, very well in her fight against cancer, and she looks and
feels great! Unfortunately, because she gets Cytoxin, she has to have blood
work done once a month to have her white blood count checked. A donation to
Dr. K’s office will help us keep giving her the care that she well deserves.
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!
