Foster Ferrets Available for Adoption

Are you looking to adopt a ferret for the first time or thinking of adding a new addition to your ferret family? Each of the ferrets shown here are looking for a new "forever" home with a loving family. After you have taken a few minutes to read their bios, please feel free to contact the MaFF Hotline (781-224-1098) or The Educated Ferret Association (413-538-7108) to make arrangements to fill out an Adoption Application (PDF or Word file) or to get more information on the care and handling of a ferret. Our Foster Network team will be happy to speak with you about our adoption policies and the procedure for making an appointment to see the ferret that would best suit you and your family.

Bear

My name is Bear and I came in with my brother Yogi. Our former owner just left one day and his roomate did not know how to care for us. We play very well together with other ferrets.

Praise from someone who recently surrendered a ferret:
" Personally, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your organization. Everyone I spoke to was so helpful, kind and truly dedicated. Trudy was an absolute sweetheart and really eased our concerns over Petey. We really wanted to make him a part of our family, but with 10, we're at our limit, so the best thing for him was to find a new home and family. We only had him for a few days, but we became really attached to him (funny how quickly these little guys work their way into your heart). This was a difficult decision, but we knew it was in his best interest. Trudy really, really put our concerns to rest. I can't stress that enough. My daughter and I both cried when we left her home, but we weren't worried about Petey's fate. We knew he was in good hands. That meant so much to us. Then to find out he had a home very quickly, reaffirmed that we made the correct decision.
"If a similar situation arises in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend MaFF or contact your organization for assistance. My daughter Torrie and I are available for references, so please feel free to use our information.
"All of you have my deepest admiration, I don't know how you do this day in and day out, but keep up the great work! 75 babies have loving homes and families because of your hard work and dedication. That is something to be very proud of!
"Thank you, Ali

Ten Commandments for Ferrets

  1. My life is likely to last 5 to 8 years. Any separation from you will be very painful.
  2. Give me time to understand what you want from me.
  3. Show me your love.....it is crucial for my well being.
  4. Remember that I am a small animal that can be hurt easily. Protect me from all that is brought around me.
  5. Teach me with encouragement, not abuse.
  6. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I recognize your voice.
  7. Don't be angry with me for long, and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, friends, entertainment. I have only you.
  8. Before you hit me, remember that I have teeth that could hurt you, but I choose not to use them.
  9. Care for me when I get old. Remember, you too will grow old.
  10. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say "I can't bear to watch" or "Let it happen in my absence." I'm scared and everything is easier if you are with me.
