DO YOU WANT TO HELP FERRETS ?
Saddly a lot of ferrets are abandoned for many raisons, some are even abused and it happens to see horrific stories. Hopefully there is great people with the biggest heart for to rescue those little ones. Ferrets need a lot of care. Often very sick, treatments and vet care are so expensive. Shelters don’t receive money for what they do. The ferret community try by what they can to help to rise money for to pay the big bills.
Raffle is one of great and pleasant solution for to help a shelter.
Suzann and Lisa ( Friends of Ferret Shelters shelterfriends.blogspot.com/) are 2 ladies who are running raffles for Shelters. At once they choose a new Shelter in need.
Right now they are running a raffle for the Shelter West Michigan Ferret Connection.
The West Michigan Ferret Connection has been owned and operated by Dee Gage since 2001. Dee is also a founder of the Midwest Ferret Fellowship, a Michigan-based group dedicated to educating people about ferrets and promoting the domesticated ferret as a companion pet.

Diamond’s story brought me a lot of tears, when I have been informed about this little girl.
Too often little ferrets in very bad shape, dying are dropped on Shelters. With a ton of love and care (TLC) little ferrets are going through, and can to start again to enjoy life and for the lucky little ones to find a forever loving home. Some others will never make it. And it is always something hearth braking for those who try to help them with all their care, heart, power and prayers.
Diamond’s Story – Another precious life saved just in the nick of time!!
Dee received a call for help after this little girl's family found her badly injured. Diamond had "disappeared" on Oct. 31, and was found wedged in a box spring the next day. X-rays didn't show much because her right arm was too swollen, and her little paw looked like a small catcher's mitt. Returning to the vet a few days later, Diamond's breathing was labored - probably from pain. The right leg/paw was dead tissue and bacterial infection was setting in. The left arm was broken. Ferrets have a high tolerance for pain, but little Diamond was crying. Following surgery to remove all the dead and damaged tissue, Diamond has recovered well and has a loving 4-ever home with Dee.
