Ferrets are taken in from individuals who can no longer care for them, for whatever reason, as well as from public and private humane societies and shelters who are unfamiliar with ferrets or who are not equipped to house and care for them. The Shelter FACT's. No ferret is put down unless it becomes medically necessary to do so. If we cannot find a home for an animal due to old age or medical problems, we either attempt to find an appropriate foster home with a FACT associate or simply continue to care for him or her at the shelter. It is housed in a private home.
Volunteers caring for the animals freely donate their time.
The shelter receives no state or federal grants. It is funded primarily through adoption fees, charitable contributions and funds raised by FACT through special events. Adopting A Ferret We require an interview for all prospective adopters. The interview is intended to ascertain the prospective adopter's knowledge of ferret care, commitment level and understanding of a ferret's needs. Many of our animals have bounced through several homes before they arrive and need an owner committed to providing a permanent home.
