Hello Santa folks.
I arrived at the Clubhouse this year after moving around many times with different families. When I was but a year old, my leg was broken but that family didn't have the money to take me to a vet to have it fixed. It was so painful as it healed crooked. I can get around but wish I hadn't had to spend that year in pain. Just after it is healed, I am moved to a new family who brought home 2 more little girl ferrets for us to meet. The 4 of us got together pretty good. Then this family said we had to move again. We traveled 5 hours to The Clubhouse where we are told this is our final home. I lost my sight sometime last year so like to hang around the feet of Shelter Mom. She says it is okay and watches for me when we are out. Although I won't be able to see any gifts, I can taste any yummy food you send. I love all the freeze dried stuff. Thank you so much for reading my story. Sammy’s Clubhouse is the only ferret rescue that serves Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho (sometimes Montana). We do our best but we need support from the community to keep going. We are fortunate that the online community has stepped forward when the local community has not been able to. This leaves us in need of medical funds and food for the ever increasing ferrets here. Less than a third of our population are healthy enough to rehome. Most have various issues such as Adrenal Disease, permanently damaged by previous owners, biters and the others with insulinoma or simply old (7 years or older). We really need melatonin implants - which can be purchased from Support Our Shelters at a drastically reduced price (http://supportourshelters.org/ or email sharon@supportourshelters.org). Because of the age of most of our ferrets, they really could use a good dental cleaning which is averaging $175-250 per ferret. Donations can be sent directly to our vet also. Shelter needs: We really need melatonin implants - which can be purchased from Support Our Shelters at a drastically reduced price (http://supportourshelters.org/ or email sharon@supportourshelters.org). For treats the ferrets use 2 large bags of Stella & Chewy duck duck goose freeze dried raw each week. We add Nature’s Variety raw booster – rabbit or chicken in our mix. Or other cat freeze dried raw treats are also good. Please no ferretvite/furovite. We feed: Totally Ferret Turkey Venison and Lamb (if they are out, we also feed Complete), Dr Tim’s Chase Cat Food, Mazuri Ferret Diet, Nature's Variety Instinct Raw Boost Rabbit or Duck, Zupreem, Marshall Select, Oxbow Feret Diet. Not only do we made soup out of our regular food mix, we use Marshall's Uncle Jim's Duk Soup. We mix Salmon Oil with Furotone for nail trimmings and treats. If you wish to purchase Totally Ferret Turkey Venison and Lamb, go to http://performancefoodsinc.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3 and place the order with notes that it is for shelter 50-WA-0423 and the shipping directly to our rescue will be free. Make sure to choose "pick up at store" during check out. We go through about 20 pee/puppy pads a day - size 23”x36”. Thank you for supporting our shelter |
