Well, I've been in contact with Tara, who helped to arrange the raffle, etc for the Oregon Ferret Shelter, and she tells me they are actually in pretty good shape right now, and wondered if she could suggest another.
Anyway, here is the conversation we've been having. I think the one she's suggested for this year is a good one:

Ohhhh great:))
It's Clover Williams.. she has ferrets on the Giving Tree.
I took Peaches this year and I'm not even sure if anyone took her others or not.
She lives on an Indian Reservation in Arizona and gets very little exposure.
She's a wonderful ferret caregiver, I have met her in person and she gives everything she can to their wellbeing. She's amazing...
Her Paypal is rezgrrl@netzero.net
and her physical address is
Clover Williams
RRTP-AAP 5000
Chinle, AZ 86503
Anyway, just a suggestion... but the second I read your letter her name came jumping out to me..
Clover is always the first in line to donate and last to ever receive..
I'm sending her much needed ferret food and a bit of cash for Peaches but with as many as she has, most elderly, any donations are sooooo appreciated. you can't imagine!!
Thanks so much... you guys are just WONDERFUL!!!
LOVE and lots of hugs..
Tara xoxoxoxo
