Frisky Ferrets of Louisiana
is here to help you with your ferret questions. Our main purpose is to
provide information and to answer any questions about ferrets people may
have. I have many pamphlets and leaflets to hand out to pet shops to distribute
to potential ferret owners. If you are in La and interested in helping
out or if you are a petstore owner that would like copies of our pamphlets
please e-mail Tricia at FriskyFerrets
I also will be glad to help ferret owners who call with ferret related
questions, if I can not provide an answer I will refer you to someone who
can. I also provide ferret informational packets for ferret lovers in
La.
Frisky Ferrets of Louisiana also provides Ferret Placement services
for those in Louisiana looking for ferrets and looking to find homes
for their ferrets. There are no fees involved with this service. To find
out more about Ferret Placement return to the table of contents and check
out What is Ferret Placement.

Ferret Placement is basically
the maintaining of two lists, one for people looking and one for people
looking for homes for their ferrets. All information possible is gathered
on the ferret looking for a home, age, color, health, vet, current on vaccines,
behavior, temperment and such. Families looking for a ferret are sent
a questionnaire/adoption formto fill out the same as if they were adopting
from a shelter. When all information is gathered we match the families
up together and hopefully the ferrets find new loving home.
There of course are exception and the explanation of Ferret Placement
is rather simplified here.
Why Do Ferret
Placement? - Placement
gives the ferret more time with the current owner and less stress of going
from one place to another only to go to yet another. It also is less stressful
to the current owner who loves their ferret but for one reason or another
can no longer keep their ferret. They get to meet the prospective new
parents themselves and personally choose the new home. No information
on any ferret will be supplied to a questionable or unfit home, same
as a shelter or rescue, this way the current owner gets to meet people
that would fit a normal adoption critieria. This also enables us to care
for our older and ill ferrets that have been taken in with out the added
risks of contagious illness being introduce to our home. This is the reason
we chose to do placement, as most of the ferrets here are 6 & up and
some with medical problems.
In short Ferret Placement is simply a way to help out unwanted ferrets
find homes through working with the current owner, it also puts some of
the responsibility back to the owner.
I hope this has helped to explain Ferret Placement and what we do.
Because of my own health problems I am currently trying to work strickly
on ferret placement - but as I stated before there are exceptions to every
rule! For more information or to list a ferret for placement call

Ok everyone listen up! Look at me I am a beautiful ferret that my first home did not want anymore - so why don't you give one of these ferrets a chance and you might get one as pretty as me too! Aren't I pretty?? These ferrets are good kids, their moms and dads just couldn't keep them anymore, one of them might make a nice addition to your family. |
Mommy told me to tell everyone that blind ferrets can get around fine, you just have to take extra precautions and can't move furniture around alot. Mom says the vet says Jasmine has a degenerative eye problem or something like that and she is now blind - but I didn't know that, she plays with me all the time and I never even noticed. I wanted to tell you that so you don't think that a blind ferret is not going to be able to play or live with your other ferrets - that goes for deaf ferrets too, I know all about that cause I am deaf!!
I thought I would just let everyone know that moms computer got the hiccups and she lost her list with a couple shelters in La to be added to this list, so if you were waiting to be added please e-mail mom again and she will add you!
If you are looking to adopt a ferret in Louisiana please contact one of the shelters/rescues/placements listed on this page And please keep checking back with your local ferret shelter as
conditions can change daily - one day there may be none then the next day there may be 10!

Questions and Answers
Special Thanks to Jan and the GDFA
I would just like to take a minute to say thank you to Jan and the GFA. I have always loved ferrets but it wasn't until I met these wonderful people that I even knew there was a need for ferret shelters or placement. With ferrets learning never stops.
If you are in Ga. and looking for a ferret or other ferret people please contact the GFA, they are wonderful people and always willing to answer questions. My favorite ferret I ever had was adopted from the GFA.

I found this poem on one of the sites listed above it sums up the importance of Ferret Shelters and Placements, it is also heart-breaking.
BanditListless, and lying, Fur matted and dull
"Bandit" lay crying, Heart shattered, a shell.Left in his cage, All day and all night,
His life was such That more food gave a fright!His water was empty Food bowl overturned
He felt kinda dizzy, His stomach still churned.Once he was loved A long time ago
Felt young hands stroking, That made his heart glow!Now he felt nothing, No more was life fun.
His heart was empty Now he had no-one.His cage had felt big, For it was just a bed.
No runs in the house now, He may well be deadHe watched as his 'owner' Walked past to the van.
Now left in the garage, He rarely saw 'man'He slept all the time, No toys in the cage.
If he'd had the heart, He would be enraged!Bandit lay crying, Spine clearly shown,
Bandit lay dying, His life overthrown.One day he was taken. Moved out of his cell,
He was badly shaken, Now in for more hell!Jaws latched on tight A reaction of fear,
A hand gently stroked, Too late now to care.In his new cage, Belly now tight,
Bandits' short life Ended that night.He died with some comfort, Soft bedding and food
His water now filled, (So much it felt lewd!)Bandit died knowing That someone did care
Died with a heart Full of love that was shared.For those that no longer Can care for their charges
Their lives are being begged for By Bandit, and othersBefore it's too late (As it was with poor Bandit)
Go, take that baby, To a shelter, do hand itDo one final thing For the love they have shown you
And give them a chance To show others love too.written by Sam Young
