I just got my baby boy Diego in November and I’m so in love! I’ve learned so much from all of your expertise and wanted to say thank you! I live on Long Island and apparently after much searching there are no ferret shelters. My long term goal is to start a ferret rescue in my area. I can’t wait to learn more from you all and thanks again for having me!

Welcome! Starting a ferret rescue is very honorable. There are so many that need homes.

Hi there, welcome to the forum! Glad to have you. We'd love to see a pic of your baby floof.
Starting a shelter is very honorable indeed, but please keep in mind everything else that will come with it; the heartache and expenses included, not just for setup and the like since you'd need multiple cages to separate in, but sick or hurt ferrets would need vet attention and possible medicines, and surgeries could also come up in the time between getting ferrets in and rehoming them. Some ferrets may also require rehabilitation before they can go to a new home. As long as you feel you can handle that.. I say follow your heart.
And none of that is meant to make you feel bad or anything, starting a rescue is something I too have thought long and hard about. It's not a decision that can be taken lightly after all. It currently isn't in the cards for us financially, even though I would have the full support of my husband if I did plan on doing it in the future if we are able.

Welcome! Starting a ferret rescue is very honorable. There are so many that need homes. Honorable, expensive, and extremely time-consuming. But, it's something we'd all like to do, at heart. We have a Diego! He's a kook and a treat vacuum. He loves Stella and Chewy's, dry, lol, just like his twin brother from a different mother, Scamps. Welcome to the group! We'd love to see pix of Diego
