If you'd like to send a gift to a shelter: You can encourage and support the wonderful people who work so hard for the ferrets we love by sending e-mail greetings, donating ferret gifts or supplies, contributing to paying expenses, or volunteering hands-on help. Contributions may be made directly to their veterinarian to cover bills. Or choose a shelter each month and send them $5 or $10. Remember if your favorite shelter doesn't have their own 501(c)(3) you can donate to them through S.O.S. and receive a tax receipt.
