Ferrets Adopted in 2002
Sebastian ADOPTED 12-29-02 Sebastian is
a healthy almost 2 year old. He and another ferret arrived together and were and were adopted in June, but
within 2 weeks of placement, the other ferret was refusing to use his hind legs. Tests showed no reason for this and he
recovered in just over a week at FVF. He was returned to his adopter but again returned to FVF, this time because he
was refusing to eat or play. Within 24 hours he was eating, playing and appeared to be a healthy, happy ferret. Because of
his friend's "adjustment problems" Sebastian is being offered without him. He has been with other ferrets all his life though,
and cannot be considered as an only ferret. Sebastian had his distemper shot in June 2002.
Micah and Molly ADOPTED 12-27-02
Juvie and
Mitts ADOPTED 12-23-02 Juvie and Mitts
are mature females, approx 5½ years old. They are very sweet and have a good deal of energy for girls
their age. Both are very affectionate toward people. They had their vet check and distemper shots on 10/26/02. Special adoption rates are available for these "seniors".
Cassie ADOPTED 12-19-02
Cassie
is a nice ferret, although according to the previous owner she will bite if she feels she is being "forced". She is
about 1 ½ and had her vet check and distemper shot on 7/25/02. She arrived with another ferret, but the two grew apart
while at FVF. As a result, he was placed into a good home with another ferret. Because Cassie is used to being with others, she should not be considered as an "only". .
Marty and Panda ADOPTED 12-08-02 Marty and Panda
are young males, roughly 1 ½. They are EXTREMELY energetic and need a home where they are
going to get a lot of playtime outside of the cage and a lot of interaction with their family. They are very good jumpers and
have gotten over barriers that usually hold ferrets. Their distemper shots are good until March 2003.
Sweetpea ADOPTED 12-06-02 Sweetpea
is about 5. She is very nice and mellow, although she is playful. She is more of a "lap ferret" than is typical.
She needs a home with other ferrets, preferably in her age range. Sweetpea is not descented, so she can express when
upset or frightened. Her distemper was done 11/8/02. A special adoption rate is available for this "senior".
Samson, Clyde ADOPTED 11-30-02 Samson, Clyde
are around 2. They arrived in a group of eight "temporary placements" mid- summer. There has been no
contact with their former owner since early September; therefore they have recently been classified as surrendered given
the amount of time they have been here. They had their vet check and distemper shots on 10/16/02. Samson is a playful albino, Clyde is a snugly bibbed sable.

ADOPTED 10-27-02 Slinky and Sassy are between a year and 14 months. Both are friendly and playful.
CHUBBY ADOPTED 10-02-02

to meet prospective families prior to his surgery. He is meeting his new vet on 8/20 and more information will be available after that..
Mr. Pibb ADOPTED 9-30-02 Mr. Pibb

RAMSES (withdrawn for heath reasons)
AND CLEO
ADOPTED 8-04-02
Adoptable pending vet visit on 6/20.Ramses and Cleo arrived through FVHA on 6/12. Ramses appears to be
3.5 - 4. One of his lower canines has a pretty pronounced underbite and may need to be extracted. He is a big
boy who likes cuddling. Cleo appears to be about 1 1/2. She is a tiny dark sable female with no apparent health concerns. She is active and curious.
Bear (male) ADOPTED 8-03-02
Bear is estimated to be about 1½, which is also the age reported by his previous owner. He was surrendered to Bay Area Humane because the other ferret in the household died and the owners were concerned that Bear
was "to lonely" now. Bear had his vet check and distemper on July 30, 02.
A PAIR OF BUDDIES ADOPTED 8-02-02
Jake and Elmo are young males, roughly 1-1½. They were brought to Bay Area Humane as strays-apparently they were traveling together. They are very curious and energetic. Jake, a dark sable, seems to be the leader
while Elmo, an albino follows his lead. Their vet check and distemper will be done on 7/9/02.
FIDGITA ADOPTED 7-30-02
Fidgita is a light sable female. She is approx. 3 1/2 years old and is very sweet. She is okay with mellow
ferrets, but seems afraid of younger or rambunctious ferrets. We believe she would be happiest in a quite
home without young children. Also, she would like to be an "only" ferret with an owner who has lots of
attention to give! Currently, her coat is somewhat coarse, probably from a combination of having clay cat litter
line the bottom of her cage, and inferior food. She was vet checked and had her distemper shot on May 1, 02.
Special girl needs special home
ADOPTED 7-16-02
Daffodil is approx 3 years old. She arrived with another ferret who did not survive (see Tulip on the Eulogy
page). Daffodil is very aggressive toward other ferrets in spite of having had a cage mate. We believe that
she had been used as a breeding ferret at one time, which may explain some of this behavior. She also
apparently has at least a partially intact anal gland and can express that when she is upset or startled, but not
to the extent of a non-descented ferret. Daffodil takes time to trust new people, and may occasionally bite. Because of this, she needs a home with an experienced ferret owner and no children.
SEBASTIAN and CORDS ADOPTED 6-5-02Both are large males. They are sweet tempered and playful but had to be surrendered when their owner
moved out of state. According to their former owner (and observation at FVF) they are very good about using
the litter pan. Sebastian was born in Feb of 2001, Cords in April of 2001. Sebastian will need his distemper booster in June of this year, Cords will need his done in August.
CUJO ADOPTED 5-12-02 Cujo is a dark sable male, 2-2 1/2, who was surrendered when his owner developed a chronic illness. When he
first arrived, Cujo did a fair amount of unpredictable biting. Since being put with other ferrets, this behavior
has almost totally disappeared, although some nipping has still occurred. Because of this, Cujo must be placed
into a home with other ferrets, and with NO CHILDREN. Cujo was vet checked and had his distemper shot in April, 2002. If you are interested in giving Cujo a patient, caring home, please contact FVF for more
information.
SMOKEY (male) ADOPTED 5-12-02
We'd like to say a special "thank you" to Amanda who specifically requested special needs ferrets and who had the background and willingness necessary to give Smokey a good home with other ferrets. Smokey has had successful surgery. His fur has not come back in yet, but aside from that he is ready to meet adopters. Smokey (panda) is approx. 4 years old. He is very sweet and healthy. A previous
owner surrendered him due to a move.. Smokey had a growth removed from his shoulder just before coming to FVF, and is recovering nicely. Smokey has been with
other ferrets all his life and needs to go to a home with other ferrets. He got his distemper shot on Sept. 11, 01.
BOB AND POO ADOPTED 3-15-02
BANDIT AND BEAR ADOPTED 3-13-02Bear and Bandit are males under 2 years old. Both are very nice, but overweight. They have been slimming
down at FVF, but Bear especially is still obese. They need to have a home were they will get several hours of
out of cage time daily to keep their weight loss on track. They were vet checked and had their distemper shots on 2/18/02.

during play sometimes. According to the previous owner, Boo likes to be "spun" when you play with him. Vet check is pending the week of March 4th. Smudge and Boo arrived with Angel and Raven (above) when the
landlord said "no ferrets".

GOMER ADOPTED 2-15-02
Gomer is a two year old male with light sable markings. According to his prior owner, he is very sweet and
docile, but reportedly has a make-up fetish, meaning he will lick your foundation off. He does not like other ferrets, and will either ignore them totally or aggressively attach them, which is what caused his surrender.
After arriving at FVF he needed one of his canine teeth extracted and was treated with antibiotic to address a minor infection at the site. He has recovered nicely and is ready to go to his permanent home. His distemper
shot was done on January 15, 2001.
JASMINE (female) ADOPTED 2-09-02

10/15/01. She should not be considered as an only ferret.
FERRETFACE (male) Ferretface (light sable) is probably 3 ½-4 years old. He is very sweet and cuddly. He arrived as a stray and was thrilled to have other ferrets to play with. He
should not be considered as an only ferret. He was vet checked and had his distemper on 11/6/01.
BANDIT (male)  Bandit (medium sable) is 4 years old. He had both rabies and distemper shots on
10/25/01. Bandit is very nice, and although it appears that he was an "only", he has adjusted quickly to other ferrets.
