Hi all,
I have been here at The Clubhouse a couple months after my owner moved to a home that didn't allow ferrets. There were 3 of us but I am the oldest at age 6 and honestly didn't have a strong bond to the other younger so they found a new home and I get to stay here. Some days my blood sugar is acting up but most days it is okay. Shelter mom says I have to eat more soup and stop sleeping so much. I try but sometimes I get so comfy with all the others here. An ottsel is a fictional hybrid of an otter and a weasel that appears in the game Jak and Daxter. Which I love the name. It has been an exciting couple months. I have been to see a Renaissance Faire and meet so many great people.
I do love it here and Shelter Mom says that it is fans of our rescue that keep the food flowing. So thank you.
May you have a great holiday with lots of love.
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:

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.
