The following ferrets have been removed from the adoptables list for a variety of reasons. 

They will be loved and cared for with the other permanent residents at FVF until it is their time to join the others at the Rainbow Bridge.

We have not been adding ferrets to this page since our permanent residents are now being listed on our sponsor a ferret page.

Shia (formerly Fatty) was injured in her cage at a local Petco.  She was treated by a vet, but did not regain full use of her hind legs.  Petco then made the decision to turn her over to FVF so she could be better rehabbed.  She has gained strength and is "paddling" with her hind legs, sometimes supporting her weight with them.  She is very playful and active and does not seem bothered by her "disability".  FVF made her a "cart", but she didn't want anything to do with it (she could chase the cats and war dance better without it).  She played with the other ferrets in the shelter mom's living quarters and after approx a year was integrated into the shelter population.  She was probably born in January of 2007, and came to FVF at under six months of age.  Although she has made progress, she will never fully recover normal hind leg function.  She also does not seem to realize when she is going potty, and as a a result, frequently soils her hammock, her sleeping partner, and herself.  Her most recent distemper booster and vet check was done on 4/17/08 (AMC).

Thomas and Nelly (went to the bridge 6/13/10) arrived after their owner moved out and left his ferrets with his parents.  According to the volunteer who picked them up and fostered them for a few weeks, Thomas is very nice, but out of shape.  He is missing all his bottom incisors, his canines are fine, and he has very worn but healthy looking teeth.  He has a very large spleen.  It is hard-but still pliable and spreads like a pancake all the way to his bladder.  It is one of those that you can see blue/black on the belly from it.  He is a tough bruiser who was put out by the change but not overly upset.  Nelly is sweet and, like her brother, tough.  She has a slightly enlarged and hardening spleen.  She is very out of shape.  She has worse teeth than Thomas-but is missing fewer incisors.  She may need a dental in a year.  She is more cautious about the change, and confused. Both need cuddles for reassurance.  They like to be handled, and we suspect they hadn't had a lot of interaction since their actual owner moved.  They had never seen a dog but were not phased by our volunteers' dogs in the least.  No litter box was in their cage when they arrived at the foster home (newspaper lined the cage).  They are using a pan in cage 100% and they are at 75% out of the cage so far.  According to the paperwork received with them, they were likely born late July or early August of 2004.  Vet check and distemper done on 10/7/09 (AMC). 

Titan used to come to FVF for ferret sitting along with his brother and sister (now both at the bridge).  Shortly after Labor Day his owner called and said the owner of the home he was renting had decided to "move back in" and he had not been able to find a rental that would accept Titan on the short notice he was given.  Titan moved into the senior room and seems very happy to have other ferret friends again.  His former owner does come to see him from time to time, and volunteers to clean at the shelter a few times a month in appreciation of our giving Ti-Ti a place to enjoy the end of his life.  Ti is a big boy, not descented.  We believe he is likely a Canadian and a late neuter.  He is the biggest, sweetest furkid you could imagine.  At nearly 8 (probably born early in 2002), he is our oldest resident.
