Adoptable Ferrets

Ferret Den Ferrets Looking for a Permanent Home

The foremost thought in your mind when thinking of adopting from a shelter
should be giving a needy animal a home, not how young or cheap you can
acquire a ferret

Name: Zoie
Color: Mutt
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 05/08/04

Name: Bandit
Color: Chocolate
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 05/02/04

Zoie and Bandit were dumped by someone who just didn’t want anything to do with them anymore. Zoie has a cyst on her side, which we are hoping can be easily removed and Bandit is going to receive a melatinc implant and lupron shot or go in for adrenal surgery. They both love people and want and need lots of attention. They also seem to get along with other ferrets.

Name: Tiki
Color: Albino
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 04/07/05

Tiki is adorable she bounces and chatters at the same time. We have no history on her but she is not nippy at all and loves to play. Tiki does not seem to like other ferrets but she may just be scared.

Name: Misty
Color: Silver mutt
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 01/13/07

Misty was turned in because her owner just didn’t want her anymore. He was too busy to care for her and he said he didn’t have the money for her upkeep. Misty is just a delight. She is sweet, playful and friendly. Misty is also very neat in her cage.

Name: Wesley
Sex: Male
Color: Sable
Date of Birth: 01/03/08

Name: Drake
Sex: Male
Color: Chocolate
Date of Birth: 01/08/08

Wesley and Drake were brought to the shelter late one evening. Their owner had lost his job and place of residence. The ferrets were staying in a carrier in his car and he knew this was not good for them. The ferrets seem friendly and well behaved. Their owner seemed to really care for them but had no choice but to surrender them.

Name: Creampuff
Color: Panda Mutt
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 05/13/07

Creampuff is big for a girl. She was found outside and she was full of ticks. Creampuff had a flea and tick bath and is being treated with frontline. She is also on antibiotics to ward off any infection. At present she seems cuddly but this could be only temporary.

Name: Angel
Sex: Female
Color: Albino
Date of Birth: 08/07/03

Name: Mandy
Sex: Female
Color: Chocolate Roan
Date of Birth: 05/08/02

Mandy is an adorable, very playful oldster. Her owner who had her since she was a baby brought Mandy to the shelter. He stated right out, no one wanted to care for her anymore. Mandy hops and jumps around like a two year old. She is probably thrilled to be let out of her cage.

Angel was picked up from a home where her owner had been placed in the hospital. Angel’s fur was pretty matted and some mats had to be cut out. She is doing well, friendly and good with the litter box.

Name: Sugar
Sex: Female
Color: Panda, Roan
Date of Birth: 01/18/07

Name: Spice
Sex: Female
Color: Sable
Date of Birth: 01/21/07

These little girls were purchased before the owner checked to see if they were allowed at their apartment or not. They were NOT ALLOWED. They are very busy. Spice seems to think the greatest thing in the world is running up your pant legs. She definitely needs a little work.

Name: Molly
Color: Dark-Eyed White
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 02/05/05

Molly is a very solid girl with a tail that is maybe 2 inches long. She came to us from a girl who got her off of Craig’s list. She was told Molly was one and a half and got along with other ferrets. Both statements were false. Molly is definitely a single. She plays well by herself and has a great time.

Name: Scruffy
Sex: Male
Color: Mutt
Date of Birth: 03/24/04

A young guy (who said his friend just dropped him off at his house) brought Scruffy in. Scruffy was adrenal and not in great shape. The Den had the surgery done but his recovery has been slow. Scruffy seems lost and has not learned yet how to interact well with humans. Scruffy seems shy and scared and he will need lots of love and care.

Name: Rio
Sex: Male
Color: Sable Mutt
Date of Birth: 04/27/06

Name: Treasure
Sex: Female
Color: Sable
Date of Birth: 10/15/06

These two ferrets were picked up from a home by one of our shelter volunteers. The owners turned them in because they couldn’t afford them anymore. The people also had other animals but did not really know how to care for ferrets. The home conditions were not good, the ferrets needed to be removed. Both Rio and Treasure are very friendly and playful and seem to get along well with others.

Name: Rerun
Color: Mutt
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 11-18-03

This ferret came to us quite adrenal. We sent him in for surgery and he is doing terrific. What a change in attitude. He is a playful busy little guy and very inquisitive.

Name: Dixie

Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 8/15/05

Dixie is a gorgeous pink nose little cutie. She definitely has a mind of her own. Dixie is another ferret that came to us through Animal Control. Dixie can be nippy at times to people she is unsure of. She now lives with Corky.

Date of Birth: 7/18/06

Mynx and Jewel were turned in by a fellow who was moving to a new apartment. They were purchased from a pet store. The girls were eating junk food but switched over to shelter mix quickly. The girls are very busy and playful. They are also very good with the litter box. Only Jewel has a bad habit. She loves to chew on shoes, even with you in them.

Name : Kiowa
Color : Champagne
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 05/25/04

He is a very handsome fellow. He seems to get along with everyone. He was turned into Animal Control and after his quarantine time was up Kiowa was released to the Den. Kiowa rooms with Murphy and they play well together.

Name: Corky
Color: Dark-Eye White
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 5/2/04

We picked Corky up from Milwaukee Animal Control. He had been brought in as a stray. Corky is a stocky, well-behaved little guy. He loves people and is all over you immediately when he is out. Corky’s hearing is right on. The minute you stand by his cage and call his name he flies out of his sleep cube and is by the door. Corky now is sharing a cage with Dixie.

Name: Saffron
Color: Chocolate
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 05/01/07

Name: Snowball
Color: Light Silver Dew
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 05/04/08

Two very sweet, little girls surrendered to the shelter because their owner became allergic. They had Saffron and when Snowball was added to the household it became too much. The girls are messy in their cage and dig their food out before they eat it.

Name: Mitzi
Sex: Female
Color: Chocolate-Blaze Mutt
Date of Birth: 9/9/04

She is a tiny curious ferret. When Mitzi first arrived she seemed very afraid when you would reach for her, so we opened her cage and let her come to us. When she is out playing she will run over to us. Mitzi is also quite a little chatterbox and on the plus side she is very neat in her cage.

Name: Thistle
Color: Silver
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 2/25/04

Thistle also came to us from Milwaukee Animal Control. He had been found in Lake Park. Thistle gets along with other ferrets if they are not to rough with him. Thistle seems calm and even-tempered and is also a very neat boy in his cage.

Name: Sassy
Color: Mutt
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 06/13/08

Name: Stitch
Color: Chocolate
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 06/05/08

These two are wild and crazy. They were not handled very much and both are naughty little biters. The girls play well together and love to chase but at this time they would definitely need an experienced owner.

Name: Emma
Color: Chocolate
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 09/02/03

Emma was left in an apartment when her owner moved. She had a cage mate who passed away. Emma had adrenal surgery and is recovering nicely. We are hoping her hair will grow back in. Right now she is pretty bald.

Name: York
Color: Albino
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 08/10/03

For an albino York is very yellow. He is also super active. York thinks he should be out of the cage every waking moment. He arrived with two other boys but he is way to active for them. York is also on a low dose of prednisone to control his insulinoma.

Name: Bandit
Sex: Male
Color: Sable
Date of Birth: 12/07/06

Name: Sassy
Sex: Female
Color: Mutt
Date of Birth: 12/09/06

These two fuzzies arrived at the shelter through some strange circumstances. A girl who had been asked to board them for a day or two brought Bandit and Sassy in. When the lady arrived at her house to board she asked if this girl would like to keep them. Well she did for three or four days and then decided ferrets were not her kind of pet. So she called and asked if she could bring them into the shelter. Of course we said yes.

Name: Muffin
Color: Sable
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 09/17/07

Muffin was picked up from a Humane Society. She is a beautiful ferret. When Muffin first arrived she was very shy. Boy, has that changed, a talker who loves to play. Muffin is in the process of learning to get along with other ferrets.

Name: Lenny
Sex: Male
Color: Sable
Date of Birth: 01/10/04

The same person owned Lenny all his life. Now his owner is pregnant and lives in a small apartment so she had her husband bring him in. We were told he had a cagemate who passed away a year ago. Lenny seemed in a daze at first. He is much better now and rumbles around like a little old man.

Name: Annie
Sex: Female
Color: Chocolate
Date of Birth: 01/03/05

A lady feeding the animals in Grant Park found Annie outside there, the day after Christmas. Annie was then taken to Milwaukee Animal Control, held for the correct amount of time and the released to The Ferret Den. Annie has a bad coat at this time and she is very hesitant. We’re sure this will change once she realizes she will always have food and be safe.

Name: Buster
Color: Champagne
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 4/5/02

Buster is a stocky, little, old guy. He is sweet and likes to be held. Buster also loves Ferretvite and Ferretone. He came in with a very bad dental problem. Buster is scheduled to a have this taken care of on March 30^th. We also suspect he may be adrenal so exploratory surgery will also be done at this time.

Name: Tommy
Sex: Male
Color: Sable
Date of Birth: 08/22/07

Name: Polar
Sex: Male
Color: Marked White
Date of Birth: 08/19/07

Tommy and Polar were turned into the shelter for the standard reason of many “No Time”. The boys look well cared for but Tommy can definitely use some more exercise. We do not know if they play well will others or not yet. We were told they used to play with their cat.

Name: Tyke
Sex: Male
Color: Sable
Date of Birth: 08/24/04

Tyke has been in and out of the shelter system several times. A very sad situation for him. He is a good little fellow. His last owner wanted desperately to keep him but couldn’t. She was moving in with a very sick relative to do home care for her and Tyke was not allowed.

Name: Quizno
Sex: Male
Color: Marked White
Date of Birth: 05/26/07

Quizno came to us from M.A.D.A.C. They had given him a bath because he was so yellow. Nothing washed out so Quizno’s coloring is going to stay this way unless it was the food he was eating or what he was kept in. Only time will tell. Quizno is wild and playful. He does the weasel war dance so jubilantly he knocks himself into things. Quizno is one happy fellow.

Name: Kruse
Color: Dark-Eyed White
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 10/02/03

Name: Nevada
Color: Chocolate Mutt
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 09/04/03

A woman who said she found them turned these boys into animal control. They were hers. Older and with problems now fixed the boys are sweet and love people. Kruse will follow you around and keep jumping on your leg until you pick him up.

Name: Daisy
Sex: Female
Color: Silver/Mutt
Date of Birth: 09/23/05

Daisy was brought to the shelter by a couple that said they just didn’t have time for her anymore. This couple had gotten Daisy from a friend. At one time she had been with other ferrets. Daisy is very playful and friendly. She does not bite and is neat in her cage. The only downside seems to be she was eating garbage food and we hope to get her switched to something better.

Name: Robin
Color: Chocolate
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 10/03/04

Robin is very hesitant around new people. Her back end is roaning and she has a really cute face. We don’t know yet if she likes other ferrets or not.

Date of Birth: 02/08/06

Name: Parmesan
Color: Silver
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 02/13/06

These two handsome boys were picked up and brought in to the shelter for the simple reason they were not using the litter box in their cage. The guys have not missed since their arrival. Alfredo and Parmesan are friendly, alert and very playful. The boys play out in a group of nine. If we did not have so many ferrets of our own they would have been adopted the day after their arrival and upstairs with us.

Name: Lilith

Date of Birth: 02/02/06

Color: Dark-Eyed White
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 2/26/06

Name: Autumn
Color: Sable
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 08/08/05

Frost was brought into the shelter because he would not potty train. He seems to do fine here. Frost plays well. He and Autumn are just a riot to watch tussling.
Autumn was brought into the shelter after she was found in this woman’s yard. She had been digging in little gopher holes. Autumn had a couple of ticks on her, which we removed with a flea and tick bath. The woman had kept her for only two days and realized she didn’t know enough about ferrets to keep her.
