Kingswinford Ferret Welfare

It is with very deep sadness that an end of an era took place on Wednesday 24th September. Tom my dear Dad's last Ferret passed away peacefully over the rainbow bridge. Both my Mom and myself vowed to look after his beloved furry friends just before my Dad passed away in February 2022. Ferrets had become something which my Dad was very passionate about, they were his passion in life. Since my work had changed during the last 6 months, my dear 80 year old Mom has been looking after Tom on her own, with the help of her 80 year old friend Sue, come rain, snow and sun! I just hope that they are all reunited in the spirit realm and may they all sleep tight together. We buried little Tom in the garden and have sprinkled some forget me knots where he is laid. I hope that if my Dad is looking down on us, that he is proud and it was truly an honour to keep our promise to him. RIP Little Tom xx

On Monday we sadly found Bob, one of our Albino Hobs had slipped away in his sleep. Bob hadn't been himself for a while, and had only been to the vets 2 weeks prior. We thought he had a reflux problem, and had tried to omit certain food types from his diet, but with no success. I'm sure that his Ferret Dad was waiting in the spirit world to welcome him. Sleep easy Bob 💔
We now just have 5 fuzzies left, and 2 of those are old timers!

On Saturday, we had to make an awful decision to put our sweet Tom to sleep 😭 Tom had been struggling to go to the toilet on Friday, so a trip to the vets was required. They did a scan, and found that his little bladder was full of gall stones! There were too many to dissolve, and an operation, would be risky and wouldn't guarantee that they wouldn't return. So we decided the best option for Tom was to let him go, while he was under from his scan. We will miss his precious little face. RIP Tom and go find your Ferret Dad ###

We are both heartbroken this morning, on pulling the covers up on Clovers pen, we found that she had passed away, probably not that long, after she'd had her tea last night. She was our last Ferret lady, and had shown no signs of illness at all. We have lost so many this year, but unfortunately the majority of our rescues here, are all clocking on in years. Rest assured that all of our residents, are being looked after, just the same, as when their Dad was looking after them. They are cleaned out everyday, fed twice a day, morning and night, and all are rotated round between our two enrichment pens. It doesn't get any easier, when we loose one of our fuzzies, in fact it seems to get harder 😪 This year has been hard, a struggle to get motivated at times, but we will still continue to keep plodding on, whatever the weather, in Keith's memory we will continue to look after his beloved ferrets. RIP little Clover, your Dad will be waiting for you xx

We are absolutely heartbroken this morning 😭😭 We found our beautiful boy Loki fast asleep, 9 months and a day since his Ferret Dad passed away. He obviously went peacefully in his sleep, curled up and cosy. Loki was the sweetest little boy, and loved a cuddle and a snuggle, he will be missed terribly 💔 RIP Loki, go find your Ferret Dad 💔
