Links

The following list is a work-in-progress and will never be all-inclusive. However, the groups or sites that are listed are those that we KNOW support ferrets because they have directly or indirectly supported FACT.

We are sure there are many other organizations that support ferrets. We suggest that you directly inquire of any group you plan to support or do business with as to to their policy and practices regarding ferrets. While many groups are becoming more educated and enlightened with respect to the "legitimacy" of ferrets as domestic, companion animals, that attitude is, unfortunately, not universal. Please inquire. If their "attitude" is less than acceptable, you may be able to help inform them as to to the legitimacy of domestic ferrets as companion pets.

If you know of others we should add to this list, please contact us.

Ferret Boarding

FACT sometimes provides ferret boarding services. But the reality is many times the shelter is too full to take additional little ones to care for. Two FACT members provide ferret-experienced boarding in their homes.
