Carmel is as sweet as her name and enjoys walks. They are both very

These boys have blossomed in a big way since their arrival. Their former
owners admitted they were neglected because of lack of time and hadn't
been out of their cage more than a handful of times in the last year.
Ollie was extremely scrawny and according to his owners, always had
been. Maybe the food he was being fed (low quality cat food) didn't agree
with him, since he has put on more than a pound since his arrival and has
a gorgeous coat. Stan has bulked up as well and is no slouch in the
looks department either. The boys poured on the charm and were adopted by
someone that was originally set on a pair of girls.

Placed (Bacall): November
Bogart and Bacall have lived
through more than there fair share of neglect. Bacall appears to have
weathered her past well physically, and is healthy girl.
Bogart survived his past with
a very sweet and happy disposition (this boy loves people and is
very gentle), but had several health issues ranging from adrenal disease
to a swollen rear leg.
Bogart is one of the most
amazing, gentle, and just plain fun ferrets that we have ever seen.
We can't emphasize this enough: Bogart is just brimming with a
wonderful personality, and he's willing to share his enthusiasm
towards life with anybody. This guy is a great kid! Bogart is
also completely bald now, which is probably caused by underlying
health issues. Bacall is
a calm girl her loves Bogart dearly, and is pretty darn good
with people, although she will nip at feet every now and then.
These two wonderful kids found a home where they lived for nearly a year,
but were recently returned because their owners moved. Bogart is
still just thrilled with life, and we can promise that his antics
will put a big smile on your face. Bacall has calmed down a lot,
and is now a sweet girl, although you still need to watch your feet!
Bogart died near the end of October while undergoing adrenal surgery,
which was a major loss for us -- this boy brightened all of
our lives, and every last person at the shelter misses his happy
presence.
His life mate, Bacall, is now living in a long term foster home,
where she is learning to get along with other ferrets (we hope).

Minnow is small and quick like her namesake. She was part of a large
litter from a pregnant ferret rescued by one of our foster homes. She is the
only female of the litter that hadn't found a home yet and since she came into
heat early, she was turned over to CFN to be spayed. Minnow was recently
spayed, but was not descented (we think it is an unnecessary procedure). She
enjoys her playtime with other ferrets and humans and plays very politely
most of the time. Minnow is quite the spit fire and will spice up any

interact with human and ferret playmates. Slinky was descented by

She was found wondering the parking lot of a shopping center and was taken

ferret knowledge. They recently found out that ferrets need a lot of
attention and even though they got the girl out once in awhile to play in
the bathroom, she had recently started biting anyone that tried to handle
her. They decided she really needed to go some place where she could get
the attention she needed. I was told I should bring gloves when I came to
get her, which I've never had to use before, but she attacked as soon as I
opened the cage and bit very hard repeatedly. For the first several days we
weren't able to get much of a response from her in our attempts to engage
her in play, although she hasn't tried to bite since we got her here.
She loves Nutri-stat, which has really helped win her over. Inca is now

Their cage was a barren wire prison with only filthy cedar

both of the girls pulled through.
Chantrelle quickly bounced back to a normal happy ferret state,

"Dances with Feet") needs a lot
more work on his social skills with people, and while he's really improved
tremendously over the past few months, he still forgets

of either sex. Bear loves all ferrets and as long as
they can handle his crazy antics they do well with him.
Bear needs to go to a very ferret experienced and
understanding home. Bear must go to a home with
other ferrets.
Bear is from Triple F.
January update from Bear's foster parents:
Bear is a great ferret. He needs a permanent safe home with people
and ferrets. He must be handled and loved frequently. He prefers
about 4 hours of playtime. Loves toys and anything amuses him. Especially
socks - with or without feet still in them. He is a kooky, nutty fert
with an immense amount of love just waiting for the right person. He is
not for someone who wants an instant loving pet. Bear generally is
pretty good with our children, but he will let
them know when he has had enough of them. He takes time to get to
know you. When he does though... he will unleash he loving on you.
Bear is a butterscotch colored diamond in the rough. He has a tough
exterior with a heart of pure ferretone.

Bruin was left behind by his former owners after they were

medication hasn't changed its appearance), and finally, he arrived as an
intact male, but only had a single, but VERY large, testicle. The vet
removed his visible manhood as well as its smaller partner which was
apparently very hard to find (the vet had to make extra incisions to
finally remove it). Bruin is recovering from his surgery and will remain
highly odoriferous for a while still, but he is a sweetheart that we are
sure has never been treated as a member of the family. We don't know how
well he gets along with other ferrets yet. Bruin retains his anal glands.

a little smaller than Kemosabbe, who's built like
an ox. The boys don't sport any tattoos, and appear to
be late neuters from a local breeder, which explains
their size.

The owner of this pair of youngsters got a promotion to a new job which

This scrawny little guy was given up by his owners because they were
concerned about his rough play behavior. Tweak is a typical kit,
exploring his environment with all his senses, including his mouth,
which is why we discourage kits for first time ferret owners and families
with young children. He will be a loverboy once he grows out of his
wild baby ways. Tweak is named after a kid on South Park who
drinks a little too much coffee. He is from Marshall Farms.

a sweet bundle of boy ready for fun.

These girls are a treasure! They came to the CFN because of a change in

are both extremely gentle (they have been around an infant) and would be a
great pair for first time ferret owners. They weren't trained to use the
litter pan by their former owner, but they have quickly learned to use the
litter pan in their cage after some creative enclosure modifications. They
enjoy the company of other ferrets. Jewel and Gem are both from Marshall

Wow! In a word, that sums up Fizgig's attitude on
life. This very active little girl dances about, taking
delight in everything and everyone she encounters. Fizgig
always presents an open mouth to people during playtime (which
is all the time as far as she's concerned), but she is
very gentle with both humans and ferrets, although her
high energy play can irritate timid or sedate ferrets.
Fizgig is a very vocal ferret, and is usually chuckling
as she walks about or shrieking as she plays with other
ferrets.
Fizgig's favorite toys are small balls with which
she chases about for hours. We can't believe her previous
owners moved out and left her behind!
Fizgig is from Marshall Farms.

other ferrets but we are introducing her to our most gentle pets and
hope she will realize how much fun it is to play with other weasels.
She is originally from the Spokane area and was spayed and descented
by her first owner. Her next owner felt guilty that she was not able
to give Bandicoot enough playtime so decided to give her the
opportunity to find a new home where she could be the center of

This poor bald boy was slated for death at an animal control facility

adrenal surgery he needed. Since recovering from his surgery Mr. Agis
now acts like a normal ferret, playing and exploring. His guardian
angel continued to care for him until transportation could be arranged
to bring him north to the CFN. Mr. Agis now has a new coat coming in
beautifully (except for his tail), and his short fuzzy fur almost
reminds us of a chia-pet.
What a sweet boy! A volunteer at CFN fell in love with Mr. Agis
at first sight, and decided to take him home if he got along
with her other two ferrets. Mr. Agis was so happy to meet his
new ferret friends that he kicked up his heels and danced about
with joy for over an hour. Needless to say he now has a great

even know what sex she was (they thought she was a male) or that
she was emaciated and needed a lot of special care.
Lucky's luck changed when our Astoria Outpost took her in. Blood
tests revealed that Lucky wasn't in extreme danger, and so she
was given a lot of TLC to get her weight up for surgery. Lucky
is quickly recovering from her spay. What a doll -- look out

Fritz and Burton are two totally sweet
ferrets. These boys
were millitary brats and have come all the way from
Kansas. Both of these boys are from Marshall Farms
and would make good first time ferrets.
Fritz is recovering beautifully from adrenal surgery
and both boys are active and happy (Burton is a bit
chubby right now, and weighs over 5 pounds).
The following information is from the boys' foster
mom:
So far they have been really friendly and very active. They were out
for quite a while this afternoon and I had to actually put them back in
the cage to get them to stop, rest and eat. Neither one of them has
bitten at all thus far (even while playing) and they both seem to get
along well with our dog and with my ferrets, who they met this
afternoon, also. Burton is a kisser if you catch him in the right mood,
evidentally. He gave me a few kisses when I was playing with them.
Fritz just seems to want to explore everything and doesn't seem to be
a bit afraid to try anything, like jumping to or from things to get
to other places to explore. Burton isn't much of a climber so far and
seems to like just getting under things. One of them is
a thief (typical ferret) as I noticed the card disappeared from the
front of the cage and I finally found it under the coffee table.
