Please e-mail the shelter mum. She will get back to you more promptly that way!!! She is up at 4:30 AM and does not answer her telephone after 6:00 PM EST. Shelter Mum gets up very early in the morning to make sure we get up and out of our cage (s) for play time, the more of us living here at the shelter the earlier she has to get up.  She would greatly appreciate an e-mail over a phone call. E-mails will be answered far more quickly than a phone calls will. 

People, who are interested in adopting from our shelter, are encouraged to visit the shelter to meet the ferrets that are ready to go to a new home. All requests for adoption will be given a screening application prior to any adoption. We make every effort to settle the misplaced fur kids into loving permanent homes.

Shelter Friends Who Are On Site/Hands On
	Ms. Donna Grounds Keeper/ Pooper Picker Upper	Wow, Baby has been gone 5 years! My daughter, Sherry, called me to say she had bought a ferret from one of her friends in Rochester. She felt bad for the ferret because it was not allowed out of her cage. So Sherry offered her $100 for her and the cage. So she came home with the ferret. Well, she called me to say, Dad would not let her have the ferret in his home and wanted to bring her to me. I thought about it and finally said yes, bring her to me. So that is how I got Baby, which was her new name. That was in the summer of about 1998. Everything went well until Baby turned 5 years old. My vet did not know what to do as Baby was very sick. She told me to go on the internet and search for help. She gave me ideas as to how to search and I did. I found Brenda in Naples, NY. What a blessing, and she got me in touch with Doc Edwards in Brockport. Baby got in immediately, because of Brenda, and was diagnosed with adreanl disease. And also at that time I was told that Baby was a little boy, and boy did that get lots of laughs!! Baby had his surgery. And also got started on her wonderful Duck Soup, which I think started before the surgery. I had him in my life for about two more years. I also started taking care of Brenda's yard work, as I love taking care of the outside of the shelter. Of course, in the winter I get to play with all the kids, and entertain Brenda with my laughter!!!! All these fur kids and Brenda are my therapy, as it is such a beautiful place to be all year around!!!
	Ms. Iliana Weekly catcher upper with shelter duties – what ever needs doing at the time	Retired teacher, married, has 2 grown up sons, older son brought home first ferret in 2003. After first ferret earned her wings in May of 2009 I went looking to adopt another ferret, did a google search and came upon your shelter. Began helping out around July? of 2009 Wanted to make use of my free time and seeing that your shelter could benefit from some help I decided to come once a week and to be a far away mum to a couple of fuzzy butts and help monetarily that way too. I usually clean the rooms, mix food , play with the ferrets, trim their nails. Bring water jugs too.
	Ms. Jackie Transportation	My husband and I moved to our cottage in Honeoye NY in 2009. I received the ferret magazine and the shelter was mentioned in there. When we moved here I was hoping the shelter was still there so I called and talked to Brenda.  My love of ferrets and wanting to help was an answer to a prayer-it has rescued me at times! I help clean and play with the ferrets (tough job). I also pick up newspapers from stores for the shelter and at times make runs to Brockport with fur kids that need  to see Doc. Love the shelter and Brenda!
	Ms. Mindy Web Master  Email	I started trying to find a local ferret shelter/club in December 2007 after I had purchased my first ferret - Master Toby. It was May of 2008 before I found out this shelter was still up and running. Back then the website was 'unmanned' and not being updated. My first time at the shelter was for Clinic Day in June 2008 where I brought Toby to play. After seeing the time and energy that Brenda spent on the ferrets in her care, my family and I had to do something to help. I told Brenda that I had done websites in the past and offered to take the duty of updating the site off her hands. Since then she has allowed me play with it during the week. In October of 2008 we adopted Busy Izzy and in March of 2009 we adopted Tick and Tock. Every other Saturday I try to come to the shelter and help anywhere I can. Often it is playing with kids or moving heavy objects! LOL
