Hestia, the little Pestia, is a sweet and spicy gal, who is due her 4th DES implant as her fur starts to show lessening. She has been lucky so far that she has not experienced muscle wasting from the disease yet, and with the help of the DES implant and Ferretonin implant, can usually sport a pretty fancy, fluffy coat of fur. This is a good thing when you are used as a pillow by your 2 sisters on a regular basis.
Hestia would love nothing more than to get lots of toys for Christmas... and she said she might even consider sharing them with her sisters if she gets enough. She also wouldn't mind some help paying for her next implants, as those itchies are truly nasty. The focus of our rescue was always meant to be on domestic mink, with only some ferrets on the side… instead we consistently have a small army of ferrets who require care and are unlikely to ever be adopted out, as most are elderly, or have health issues. We are the contact at the Humane Society of Utah and one of only 2 rescues for the entire state and intake ferrets from surrounding states when necessary too. Our rescue has had to halt and even waitlist current surrenders, because we are beyond capacity and funds for those we care for and do not wish to do the injustice of being unable to provide for those already in our care by taking on the impossible. It absolutely breaks our hearts when we have to turn anyone away, because we would love to help these poor souls and as can be read in some of the profiles, for some it really is a matter of life or death. Please help us to continue our mission of saving as many lives possible, of being the source of a full belly, of a warm bed, of a tender touch, of being the arms to hold them at the end of their journey and offer them a peaceful crossing. The rescue spends thousands monthly on food, litter, vet care, and sanitation supplies. A large portion of this comes from our personal pockets with only my husband working full-time, while I run the rescue and raise our daughters. Donations are tax-deductible! Venmo: @rescuemink |
