Who Cares About Elderly Ferrets???

FACT's Supplemental Foster Program

   

See and read about all the foster ferrets available to be "e-dopted"

The FACT, Inc. Halfway House is one of the largest ferret shelters in the United States. It is supported and operated by the Ferret Association of Connecticut, Inc., a non-profit 501(c)(3) humane and educational organization. Since 1991, we have taken in and cared for hundreds of domestic pet ferrets that have lost their homes through no fault of their own.

Many of the ferrets that arrive at FACT are in good health and adoptable. However, a significant number are ill or elderly and face large medical bills. Realistically, it is almost impossible to find an adopter for these animals. Our solution has been to place them in permanent foster homes and pay the cost of their veterinary care. We will NOT PUT AN ANIMAL TO SLEEP unless it is medically necessary.

We need your help to be able to continue this work. We receive no federal or state grants and are dependent upon charitable contributions.

There are two ways you can help

• A one-time donation will help FACT care for the fostered ferrets and those who await homes in the shelter.
   

• Another, more regular way to help, is to enroll in FACT's Supplemental Foster Program. Under the plan, you sponsor a ferret that is in the Foster Program by making a $5.00 monthly donation for each ferret you select.

Upon enrollment

We will send you a list of eligible ferrets along with a 6 month coupon "reminder" book for contributions. Select your ferret and send in your first check. Shortly afterward, you will receive a small, framed photo of your foster "grand child" - yours to keep as a permanent reminder of your generosity!

You are, of course, under no obligation to continue! However, as long as you make monthly contributions, you will receive a subscription to "FACT Ferret Poop" - the bi-monthly FACT Foster Ferret newsletter which gives periodic updates about many of the ferrets in the foster program.

Won't you help give one of these gentle survivors the care they deserve for what time they may have left?

To enroll in the foster program, please use this Enrollment Form and mail it in; or you may provide the information other than

Upon receipt of your first payment (made out to FACT) you will be sent a 6 month coupon book; a current list of ferrets to select as your foster. You will also start receiving the special, bi-monthly foster newsletter "FACT Ferret Poop" for as long as you participate. After you've selected your ferret you will also receive a small framed photo of your ferret/s. Or you may ask us to select a ferret for you.

All contributions are tax deductible as allowed by law.
