Ferret Den Ferrets that have found a Permanent Home


 

Name: Kermit
Color: Champagne
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 7/13/08

Kermit(top) came from Countryside Humane Society. He is fairly laid back yet still nice and playful. Kermit has been paired up with a little silver female named Boots, D.O.B. 1/24/09. Boots is definitely very active but neither are nippy or sassy just busy.

Name: Calico
Color: Mutt
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 12/20/08

Calico is a beautiful girl with soft, silky hair. She plays out with a group. She is very busy and at times still a little nippy. Calico was removed from a boarded up house, which explains the nippy part. Calico deserves a second chance and a new home.

 

Name: Whitney
Color: Albino
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 07/28/07

Witney came in to the shelter because her owner had lost her place to live. Her coat is not good but this could be because of the food she was eating and the gravel litter she were in. She will do well with other ferrets. At this time she is caged together with Sherlock but in the future she may find a new friend and they could be split.

Name: Diva
Color: Sable
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 3/11/08

Diva is a very pretty girl and has a beautiful coat but is way too light in the weight department. We are trying to slowly switch her food (which is taking longer than we thought) to a better quality. What she had been eating was pure junk. Diva was turned in by someone who really should never have had ferrets. Good intentions do not always have good results.

Name: Boots
Color: Mutt
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 01/24/09

She is a very busy, playful little girl who loves to chase. Boots was found outside and turned in to Animal Control. After her hold time was up she came to us. Boots is very sweet and gets along well with others.

Name: September
Color: Dark-Eyed White
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 02/22/07
 
September’s owner was moving and gave her to a friend who wanted her. Then her friend turned her in to MADAC because she got more ferrets and September did not get along with them. She is a sweet girl who at one time had a partner who passed away. September will probably remain a single, which is too bad. September is also deaf.

 

Name: Mickey
Color: Silver Mutt
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 1/15/08

Someone who thought he would be a great little companion adopted Mickey from the Den eight months ago. Only Mickey was too wild and naughty and his new owner could not put in the time needed to make him a fun pet. Mickey was very thin and in poor shape when he arrived. We are trying to improve both his body and his temperament.

Fritzers is another ferret that someone just left because they didn’t want him anymore. When he first arrived he was very shy and scared. He has really come out of his shell and is now bouncy and curious. Fritzers gets along good with Molly. We have not tried him with any other ferrets yet.


 

Name: Remmy
Color: Blaze Mutt
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 01/16/09

Remmy’s start in life must have been horrible. He was brought in to animal control because his owner was being charged with animal cruelty. Remmy was really thin and weak. The crew at MADAC did a good job of fattening him up.

Shelly came from Countryside HS. She had a sore (hole in her neck), which turned out to be a cuterebra. A larva, which was still alive and removed by Dr. Menjtis from West Allis Animal Hospital. Poor Shelly had her hair scratched off her neck from it bothering her. She seems to be doing much better with that taken care of and new hair is already growing back in. Shelly is also on a low dose of Prednisone .25cc twice a day.

Gunner is very busy and very vocal. When playing he will be squeaking whether he is chasing or being chased. An adorable little guy, his coloring is really odd. Gunner’s little dark belly has lots of white splotches.

Name: Tina
Color: Sable
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 08/18/06
Name: Titan
Color: Chocolate
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 08/20/06

Two reasons the owner brought these ferrets into the shelter. First, they had moved and there was no space in the house to keep them. So they were staying in the garage. Second, soon they would be moving out of state and could not take them. They have been together from the start and make a cute pair but Tina seems to be tilting to the right when she walks so she will be in to see our vet as soon as possible.

Name: Knuckles
Color: Sable
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 12/21/08

A gal who had taken them from a friend because he was going in the service brought in knuckles and Duchess. She and her husband had moved to Wisconsin but their place was too small to keep them. Knuckles and Duchess were only in their care for about two months. The ferrets are very active when out and sometimes play to rough. Duchess is a little nippy when wound up.

Name: Ramses
Color: Marked White
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 03/07/07

Ramses was owned by a young man who turned him over to his folks. The parents like him but the dad was very, very allergic, so mom brought him in. Ramses is very playful and seems to love people. He has a cyst on his neck which we will be having removed. Ramses also has a ring mark on his fur, which should disappear in time.

Name: Buddy
Color: Silver Mutt
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 01/07/04

These fellows have had a pretty lousy life, before they got to the shelter. Their owner who had been saying one was sick and she couldn’t afford them brought them to the shelter. They weren’t sick the ferrets were being starved. They couldn’t even stand to make it to the litter box. In two weeks time the boys had doubled their weight. They are getting better everyday and love to play. We want to be sure this never happens to them again.
 

We were fostered on 08/27/09

  

Name: Boo
Color: Sable

Date of Birth: 11/05/07

Boo came to us when his owner was told to remove his animals from the home he was residing in.

Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 03/02/09

Name: Pixie
Color: Mutt
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 03/05/09

These two little ferrets are busy as heck. They were turned in by a mom and kids who had no idea how much work and time it takes to properly care for young ferrets. They are very cute but little piggies in their cage. Also they need to learn to use the litter box when out. On the plus side they are not nippy and loads of fun to watch play.

Name: Arizona
Color: Albino
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 12/22/07

Their owner brought in these two ferrets. She was moving and the landlord had said okay. But, the other renters sharing common areas complained so Daphney and Arizona came to the shelter. They are friendly, neat in their cage and so far use the litter box when out playing. The only bad thing is they were kept in cedar chips for a time and their coats are stained yellow. This will take care of itself in time.
 
 

We were adopted 07/18/09

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

Kruse was turned into animal control by a woman who said she found him, he really was hers. As soon as he arrived at the shelter he was taken in for adrenal surgery and a huge hairball was removed. Kruse is sweet and will follow you around and jump on your leg until you pick him up.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Date of Birth: 04/27/06

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: Bandit
Sex: Male

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.
  We were adopted 3/06/09

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: 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.

I was fostered on 02/09/2008

  

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 30th. We also suspect he may be adrenal so exploratory surgery will also be done at this time.

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: 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.

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 : Kiowa

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.

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.
