How to Donate to the A Ferret Club &
Rescue
Our ferret club exists primarily to
support our ferret Rescue and fostering, to keep its
doors open so that we never have to turn a single needy
ferret away. To keep our rescue running, and more
importantly, to provide the care that the ferrets in the
rescue and fostering need, we incur great expense. All
ferrets in the rescue are provided only high-quality
ferret diets; given warm, soft bedding to sleep in;
secure cages to stay in; and provided any and all
medical care that they require. The AFC is a no-kill
rescue, meaning that we do not put any ferret to sleep
except for absolute medical necessity. Ferrets who come
to us ill, injured, or generally kept poorly, we will
rehabilitate and find a new home for. Even ferrets with
cancer or other serious illnesses are provided treatment
by us. The expense is significant, but we are doing for
these innocent pets what a previous owner was unwilling
to do.
We are funded entirely by donations and
the fundraising efforts of our club members. Adoption
fees do not even begin to cover the great expense we
incur for even our healthiest residents; let alone the
ill ferrets we care for. In short; donations are
gratefully accepted and desperately needed.
You can donate to our organization in a
number of ways. We accept donations of supplies or
money, whichever you are more comfortable with. You can
even make a monetary donation directly to our
veterinarians so that you can be sure that your donation
is going towards the medical care of needy ferrets.
Monetary Donations:
You may make monetary donations in two
ways: a check sent to one of our official rescue
veterinarians; a check sent directly to us which we will
use strictly for supplies and medical care for the
rescued ferrets only. Again, all monetary donations are
used strictly for supplies and medical care of our
rescued ferrets. Donations are not used for any other
personal or club purpose ever.
