• Surrendered to the Shelter on December 28, 2023. He found a Forever Home October 17, 2024! |
October 17, 2024:
Report from Tom, Mr. Butters was still investigating at midnight, I suggested he close the door to a room to make him settle down. Tom did that, Mr. Butters found a drawer to crawl in to go to sleep. That is where Tom found him this morning. Mr. Butters is sleeping in.

Yesterday was busy, Tom got here about 10:30 with the fur kids dresser drawer. It slid into the space slicker than butter. That's Mr Butters favorite place to sleep in the top drawer. With the middle drawer gone he couldn't get up there. When I got him up this morning he was all curled up in the blanket in the top drawer, snug as a bug in a rug.

This morning while I was spending time in the ferret room I allowed Gimlet and Mr. Butters time to get acquainted. I had done that a few days ago.
Outside of them both being bullies they did okay that day. This morning Gimlet was doing most of the chasing, they had 3 rooms to chase. Neither one was cornered so I just kept watch. Gimlet chased Mr. Butters up and over one of the bungalows. It was apparent that it was time to separate them. I set Mr. Butters into the library closing the gate to keep Gimlet in the ferret room. Mr. Butters looked as though he was in shock, glassy eyes, unresponsive. I picked him up to hold him, spoke to him, rubbed him. It took a good amount of time for him to come around and look like he was going to be okay. Once I was sure he was back to normal I gave him a bowl of soup., he ate the entire amount. That is something I've not seen happen before; especially since they did not tussle, beat up on each other and get cornered. No more getting antiquated for them.

I settled Mr. Butters into the cage Stitch was in.
Initial Contact, December 28, 2023:
We received a telephone call about a found ferret running the streets in Batavia NY, the cage mate had been hit by a car and killed. The person calling lives in Brockport NY, they were given our telephone number by Brockport Animal Hospital. The person that brought the ferret home called us for help. I mentioned the call to Tom he wanted to go pick the little guy up to deliver him to the shelter. By this time it was 3 in the afternoon. I agreed Tom could go pick the little one up but asked him to take him home with him it was going to be too late for an intake. The family that caught and brought Mr. Butters home, called Tom to let him know the ferret had gone into hiding they could not find him. They called Tom at 11 pm to let him know they found the little guy, with Tom's insistence they secured him in a carrier until Tom got there to pick him up at 10 am Thursday.
