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 "bio's", 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.
| Cocoa
Rachel and Cocoa came to the shelter after their hoomans got divorced and no longer wanted them. They were left out on the porch until a friend of theirs contacted MaFF and she finally agreed to surrender them. I would prefer that they go to a home with no young children. They were tormented by 2 very hyper active kids. They are the sweetest fuzzies. Rachel is on the shier side and they get along with other fuzzies.
Cocoa is a 5 year old male.

She came into the shelter after her daddy got very sick and was in the hospital for a long time and her mommy said they could no longer keep her because she was too busy going to the hospital and was very sad that she couldn't spend the time needed with her.

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
- My life is likely to last 5 to 8 years. Any separation
from you will be very painful.
- Give me time to understand what you want from me.
- Show me your love.....it is crucial for my well being.
- Remember that I am a small animal that can be hurt
easily. Protect me from all that is brought around me.
- Teach me with encouragement, not abuse.
- Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words,
I recognize your voice.
- 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.
- Before you hit me, remember that I have teeth that
could hurt you, but I choose not to use them.
- Care for me when I get old. Remember, you too will
grow old.
- 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.
