Our previously adopted Ferrets.
A warm thank you to all our Adopters! January 2010 Asku m and Tellum arri ved with their sister (adopted separately) via Lincoln County Humane after they were found in a cat carrier
on the side of a country road. They are active and playful and sometimes get a little over excited while playing. Askum is a great jumper. They need a home where they will get plenty
of out of cage time and active play with their people. Based on the condition of their teeth, we believe Tellum was born later winter/early spring of 2007, Askum could be six months
younger. Vet check and distemper done on 8/10/09. Badger Boo
arrived with her two brothers (one has since gone to the bridge, the other has recently been diagnosed with b one cancer) as the result of a "high needs" infant in the house. The owner loved them very much but realized they were not getting
the attention they needed since the birth of this child. According to the information provided by their former owner Badger Boo was born 10/16/05. She is described as a
"little ball of mischief"-which has certainly been the case at FVF. According to information we received, she
steals anything and everything and child safety locks are no match for her. She loved the cat in the
household and played well with her. She has shown herself to be an ankle biter. Because she does nip/bite
for attention, we would not recommend her for a home with small children, although she has been with very young children (up to three years old). Because she has always been with other ferrets she should not be
considered as a single ferret. Vet check and distemper shots done 5/8/09 (AMC). Bruce ar rived when his owner moved out of his parent's home and could not take Bruce with him. Bruce is very friendly and people
focused. He is very playful, but even when he is totally wound up he doesn't nip or bite and will calm down
immediately when you pick him up. He didn't seem to know how to use a water bottle after he got to the
shelter, but does great with the water dish (no swimming/splashing). He is good in the litterpan while in the
cage, and will likely learn outside of the cage. Based on the condition of his teeth, we estimate he was born between Oct 2007 and Mar 2008. His vet check and distemper was done on 1/12/10 (AMC).
Pixie and
Snowball arrived with two other ferrets (now adopted) because of a worsening disability (among other things) on t he part of their owner. According to reports, all are playful, have been with cats, and are willing to be held. Here at FVF we have seen they are all active-even Pixie
who is an early senior citizen. They are not great about the litter pan, even in the cage-they tended to use the one on the bottom level, but on the shelf toward the top of the cage, they went next to
the pan. They seem to prefer a water dish to a water bottle. When they arrived at FVF they needed immediate baths due to life with heavy smokers. Their coats are still coarse-but are
improving with time and good nutrition (they had been fed cat food). Both had mats-they did not give us any trouble when we rubbed them with ferret conditioner and combed them out-many
ferrets would have struggled and/or bitten during such a procedure. Pixie was born 5/23/04, based on the condition of his teeth, Snowball was likely born early in 2005. Vet check and distemper
shots done 4/23/09 (AMC). Snowball unexpectedly went to the bridge shortly after her foster mom decided to keep the girls. Pixie is
reportedly doing okay with extra attention and snuggling. February
Zeke was surrendered because his owner had become busy at work and no longer had time to get him out and give him the attention
he needed. According to the person surrendering him, he has never bitten (except for toes) and had been with dogs, cats and
children. We have noticed that Zeke will give you kisses on the eyes when he wants something (like down). He was vet checked and
got his distemper shot on 1/28/10 (AMC). We have noticed he is still not eating as well as we would like-he wants "junk food" rather than good ferret diet. Dante and
Khaine were surrendered when their owner had multiple life changes which made it impossible for him  to keep the ferrets. Both these boys are very sweet and like attention from their people. They will reportedly nip toes, but
otherwise had no nipping or biting behavior reported. Khaine got his distemper shot on 1/5/10, but Dante was good until 6/22/10, so he was health checked only at that appointment. Sassy
arrived late in 2008 with her brother Otis. Because Sassy was a horrible biter her brother was eventually placed up for adoption separately. Sassy was worked with here at the shelter, and has
improved greatly, but will still test her limits and bite. She was last vet checked in December of 2008. Her distemper shot was done at the shelter on 1/31/10.Squink a rrived at FVF mid summer. He was nearly bald from adrenal disease and had a growth on the edge of his lower eyelid (the
source of his name). He had been found running stray and had spent time at an area humane society before being
"released" to FVF. He had surgery for both the growth (successfully removed) and the adrenal tumor (right side
involvement) and recovered nicely at FVF. He is a real sweetheart. He loves attention from people and if his
coat wasn't so bad (the implant he got didn't help) he would be a great therapy ferret. He spends his days in the
senior ferret room with other ferrets his speed. We don't believe he is truly a senior-perhaps he is as young as four, but he is so low key he would not be good in a higher energy environment. Squink was adopted to keep another senior adrenal ferret company. They are like a pair of bookends-sparse coat, sweet temper, short bursts
of activity followed by a long nap in a blankie. Magic and Jack were transferred to FVF from Fox Valley Humane Society  after an owner surrender. Jack has unusual markings-he has a black spot on his side. He is a very sweet boy who is willing to be held for awhile before going
off to explore. Based on the condition of his teeth he was probably born mid 2007. He loves his
sister, Magic. She is very small and can squeeze out of some style cages. She is more active and not
as willing to be held as her brother. Neither has shown any nipping here at the shelter. Vet check and distemper done on 12/10/09 (AMC). Night an d Glommit arrived with their brothers (listed separately) after being left in the parking lot of
an apartment building in Steven's Point. The volunteer who picked them up gave them their names. All four are very sweet. Night will
bounce with other ferrets provided te other ferret gets her going. She is a very deep sleeper. She is a
climber. Based on the condition of her teeth she was probably born late in 2008. Glommit likes to eat
and likes to be held. She is pretty mellow and willing to be carried around. Based on the condition of
her teeth, we believe she was born late in 2008. All four are pretty good about the litter pan. Vet check and distemper done on 12/10/09 (AMC).
