Get ready for these events and put in your adoption application early!!! To be able to take a ferret home on In Store Adoption Days, you must have an approved adoption application.

SPONSORSHIP

We have a few ferrets in need of sponsorship. To sponsor a ferret, just contact the shelter at 435-258-2308 or theferretcubby@msn.com. Ask us about the ferrets that need sponsors and chose one! Tell us how you would like to sponsor, one time, monthly, etc and how much you want to sponsor with and we will get it all set up. We will send you an update on the ferret you sponsor and a photo if you like! Sponsorship allows the shelter to give the best quality of life to the ferrets in need, while still being able to help other ferrets who need an intrem home here at the shelter. This is a great way to help for someone who is not able to have a pet! You can have a picture of your sponsor ferret and you get to know you are helping a sweet ferret to have a better life.


Surrendering a Ferret


I suggest you do a reference check on any shelter you are thinking of taking your ferret to. To do that go on line to www.supportourshelters.org. They have a list of shelters who are a part of their orginization. You can also go to www. ferrret.org for the American Ferret Association and see if the shelter you are considering is on their list. They are a national association for ferrets and most shelters apply to be on their list. If you do not see the shelter you are looking for on their list you can email them and ask if they have any information about that shelter. To Surrender a ferret, contact the shelter at 435-258-2308. You can bring the ferret to the shelter, we can meet you half way or you can call for a pick up. Your friend will be well taken care of and we will work hard to find them a "Forever Home". If you have any questions, Please feel free to contact us anytime. Don't let anyone put your ferret down for lack of Help, WE CAN HELP!!!

Ferret Supply List

These are things you should have on hand before you adopt a ferret. Cage - minimum size for 1 ferrets with, lots of out of cage time, 3'x2'x3', with at least two levels. Lots of out of cage time, at least 3-6 hours a day, if you can’t do that, buy a bigger cage. They need at the very least 2 hours a day out of cage. 2 Hammocks, 1-2 sleep sacks, 1-2 blankets, 2 litter boxes, one in cage, one out of cage. Litter, preferably wood pellets. Ferret Food, not cat or dog food (you can buy my food mix, if you want) I use Totally Ferret, Shepherd & Greene, Zupreem, 8 and 1 Ultimate and Totally Ferret Kit. Any of these are good foods, but I do recommend that you mix at least two types of food. 2- ferret dishes that attach to side of cage, one water, one food. They are famous for dumping bowls that do not attach to cage. 1 – Water bottle (optional) Ferretone, Ferretlax or Laxatone, Nutra Cal, Nail clippers, Ear cleaning solution and q-tips, Toys: - No rubber, plastic or items that can be chewed up. They love bennie babies, paper bags, cat teasers, small stuffed animals, tunnel tubes or dryer ducting tubing, balls, cardboard boxes, etc. Be creative! They will even play with a crumpled up piece of paper!

PICTURES OF THE SHELTER & FUR KIDS!




The Ferret's get approx. 6 hours of out of cage "play/rest" time each day, depending on how many groups of ferrets we have at the time. We are running four play groups at this time, but 6 hours is the minimum play time. Our play groups range in size from 1 ferret to 12 ferrets per group.
