Little Dude's Ferret News
If you have a pet who needs medical
care and you are in a financial bind or have limited income, you may qualify for
financial assistance through one of these organizations. The requirements
of each program vary so if you don't meet the criteria for one, keep checking
with the others. There are many, many other programs that are more
specific to local areas, breed and disease specific. Be sure to research
these sites for more programs that may help your specific situation.
IMOM In Memory Of Magic. A one time donation for life threatening emergencies only
The Pet Fund NOT for emergencies. This program is intended for pets who are in need of treatment because of illness or injury but there is usually a long waiting list.
Angels4Animals - this program works out financial arrangements directly with the veterinary clinic and does not ask for reimbursement from the pet owner.
Help A Pet A cost sharing program for the disabled, seniors and children of the working poor
Save U.S. Pets For life saving emergencies
Handicapped Pets Mostly a resource for elderly, disabled and special needs pets but will sometimes provide financial assistance for special cases.
United Animal Nations For life threatening emergencies only.
CareCredit A no interest credit card for health care services for your pet with low monthly payments.
This
was promised for over a year and it's finally done. MISTAKEN
IDENTITY. Please take a
moment to check it out. It's well worth it.
We get LOTS of requests for veterinarians experienced with adrenal surgery or just ferrets in general. We don't want to be on the hook if you're not happy, SO, we're not going to recommend. BUT...we highly cherish our ferrets so we take them here. There are several other vets in our area worth mentioning because they have had all had good reviews and positive personal experience by other people and shelters. We don't have any personal experience with anyone other than the two we use, so please do your homework and ASK QUESTIONS! I can't stress this enough. Don't be shy or intimidated. If any doctor - DVM or MD, is offended when you question his experience or credentials, then maybe his ego is bigger than his need to help your pet. If that's the case, MOVE ON! That said, hopefully you can find a vet on this list you are happy with in your area.
The
transformation has begun. You can now go to PHOTOBUCKET to view many of
the old, as well as new pictures we have added and will continue to add on a
regular basis.
Do you have love and time to give but not sure about the financial commitment of caring for an older or sick ferret? Please ask us about our Foster Program.
Ever wondered what it might be like for a shelter mom to go through the experience of dealing with a dying ferret? Here is one shelter mom's very private thoughts put into words shortly after the death of little Cinnamon.
Or, ever wonder what it might be like for a ferret sanctuary/hospice mom to care for them on a daily basis? Here's a peek into that life.

No mess, no scooping, no hauling away used litter, no dump fees, no smell. Best of all, the ferrets love it. No slipping and sliding and no matter how much they pee, it's still dry! |

Caring for so many geriatrics does not allow us to continue with outreach programs which is very unfortunate given the need is so high to educate. LDFR volunteers may try and schedule adoption and/or education events as time permits. Check back for more LDFR news. |
