This little guy weighed in at 12 oz when he arrived. You could see every bone in his little body. He was dropped off in a card board box with a rag for warmth and a few pieces of dog food to eat.

Hi Brenda,
We have not talked since my land lord wanted me to get rid of my ferrets a year ago and I did.

A tan ferret was left at my apartment and I cant have it in my apartment because of insurance reasons. I took it inside last night until I decided what to do with it. This is when I handled it and it bit me. I not only can't have ferrets in my apartment but this one is not nice. I am hoping you can take it, If not there is no where I can think of to send a ferret that bits. 

I gave birth to my son in late October so I can't afford the extra expenses of having it put down. I don't want to go in this direction but I cant risk getting kicked out of my apartment with a new baby because of a poor homeless ferret.
please, please, please help

Yes I will take him; can you get him to me? DO NOT HAVE HIM PUT DOWN! I will take him. Brenda

I can get him to you, When will you be around? He came in a brown box and is running free in a walk in closet here in my apartment. I would like to get him to you ASAP you tell me when is good and I will be there. This poor ferret needs a real cage and attention.
thank you,
Tiara
