Gabe was adopted yesterday! The top pic is from March 11th, when he first came in. The bottom is after adrenal disease treatment and fattening up. What a remarkable recovery. I love this boy so much. He was the only one who got to go in my bedroom, downstairs and outside regularly! He's going to a home with a retired couple who had ferrets for years. He'll be spoiled rotten there as well.

Welcome five year old Milo (black) and four year old Suzie (albino) to the rescue. These came from a neglect situation. They were being fed dog food the last few months, haven't been getting out of the cage and had a lot of fleas. They were immediately given flea treatment and we used a flea comb on them for about an hour. They are in surprisingly good condition. (For the record, I am trying hard not to take in ferrets and keep my numbers low due to medical issues. The ferrets that have come in were either already scheduled, adopted from here and had to return here, or emergency situations like this one.) Acworth GA

Welcome 3 1/4 years old Alfalfa back to the rescue. He was adopted in February. His owner had some major life changes, including a dog requiring a lot of vet and round the clock care. She couldn't provide the time and care Alfalfa needed. He's a wonderful and sweet boy. He prefers humans to ferrets and will be for adoption to a home without another ferret. Acworth GA

Welcome Letty (female roan) and Remy (black male) to the rescue. They are both four years old. After reading reviews and checking out my rescue, their owner wanted them to come here and nowhere else. He drove about five hours one way to bring them and made a substantial donation for them to stay in my care for the rest of their lives.

It appears Letty has lymphoma (swollen lymph glands in four places along the left side of her body). She's going to be started on an antibiotic to see if it's a mild infection and a small amount of Prednisilone (steroids) to reduce inflammation. If this doesn't help, she'll be seen by a vet for bloodwork.

Remy appears to have adrenal disease (thinning tail fur, thin fur as a ring at base of tail, thinning fur at shoulders, and ni***es showing on abdomen). He'll get a melatonin implant to start off with as treatment. Acworth GA

Two year old Ella was adopted today! The woman brought her ferret here to find a playmate. Sometimes the ferret doesn't specifically choose a playmate and we have to choose for it, which is what happened today. Her ferret was obviously interested in playing with other ferrets. There were some she wanted nothing to do with. She did show considerable interest in Ella and Sid. We chose Ella because she was closer in age and seemed a better match.

2 1/2 year old Pebbles was adopted today! She went home with six year old Stash. He was previously adopted from here. His cage mate recently died and his owner wanted to try another. We weren't sure he would accept another ferret because older ferrets are often cranky and don't want to be bothered by another play mate. As soon as he saw Pebbles, he crawled on top of her and completely groomed her head and ears. This was his way of showing he accepted Pebbles and letting her know he is the dominant ferret of the two of them. She laid still during this, showing she accepts that he's the dominant and that she was accepting him too. Later they ended up sleeping together in the same sleep bag! While Pebbles is a lot younger, she's a very calm ferret for her age. Also, Stash is still very active.

Welcome this pretty girl to the rescue! She was found outside of an apartment complex in Marietta GA. She appears to have been outside for a couple of days. (Initially there was thought to be two ferrets; there was only one.) She's dehydrated and underweight. She looks to be about 2 - 2 1/2 years old. She dove right into eating! That's amazing and really helpful.

She needed a name. Thanks to Chanelle Mondeck Manion for suggesting the name of Addie for this girl! I think it's perfect. For having her suggested name chosen, she agrees to donate at least $10 toward Addie's care via CashApp $kmferret, VenMo -Matters-Ferret-Rescue (may ask for 0070), Zelle or Paypal [email protected], check to 4233 Zephyrhills Dr NW, Acworth GA 30101, or credit card payment as a donation to the rescue vet 770-614-9060.
