If "your" ferret isn't here yet, we do maintain a "waiting" list and people on the list will get a call before ferrets are listed on our site.
Please call or email us at friend@FoxValleyFerret.com. Please use "ferret" somewhere in the subject line as that will help your message stand out from all the spam.

ADOPTABLE FERRETS

 FERRETS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE*(1/19/2012)
FVF offers special adoption packages for harder to place ferrets:
Senior Ferrets
Ferrets with Special Veterinary Needs
Large Ferret Families (3 or more wanting to stay together)
Ferrets with Behavioral Problems needing gentle correction.

FVF is currently has a very low census-our lowest in about four years!  While this is good news for us, it means potential adopters may have to be placed on a waiting list for younger ferrets or those appropriate for first time ferret parents since most of the ferrets with us right now are seniors or have special needs.

  We are happy to talk to you about all of our available ferrets, profiled or not. 
   Please feel free to call or email us and ask about ferrets that haven't been posted for adoption.

Some senior ferrets have been removed from our adoptables page and reclassified as permanent residents because they realistically have very little chance of being adopted.  You can see their profiles on the sponsor a ferret page.

Winston is available to experienced owners only. He is a very handsome boy who is dominant with other ferrets.  He is playful and curious, but has been known to bite when he is not in the mood to be handled.  We are working with him and he has improved to the point where an experienced owner could be successful with him as long as they continue working with him.  He seems to have gotten a lot better once he was introduced into an open room with other ferrets.  He should not be considered as an only ferret and would probably be best with at least two others.  Based on the condition of his teeth, we believe he was born early in 2009.  Vet check and distemper done on 1/25/11 (amc). Yearly exam and distemper shot is pending.

Stinker and his brother originally arrived after they broke out of their cage and killed a bird.  They were adopted into a home with other ferrets but recently had to come back to the shelter due to upheavals within the family.  Two other ferrets from the home have already been adopted, the third has been classified as a permanent resident due to her age.  Stinker needs a home with at least one other playful ferret.  Stinker is a "cage pinger" meaning he will bite and pull on his cage bars, so he needs plenty of "out" time.  He loves playing in grocery bags.  He also really likes glittery type cat balls and streamer toys.  He was reportedly born early to mid 2007, the condition of his teeth support this.  He had two damaged teeth removed on 9/17/09 (LS) prior to his first adoption, and a dental cleaning on 8/3/11 (LS).  His vet check and distemper shot was done on 7/8/11 (amc).  Stinker is scheduled for adrenal surgery on 2/2/12.

Biography and pictures pending for Edgar and Allen-a pair of year (or so) old FEMALES.
