I got my first ferret from a local petting zoo as a trade for a bunch of feeder mice I gave them. He was an older boy and passed a way not long after I got him of old age. He was the one who started my love affair with ferrets. My second ferret was […]

How did I get into ferret sheltering? Well, I got my first two ferrets as a “round about” rescue in 2002. I work with the husband of a Veterinarian I use for my pets. She called the shop one day asking her hubby if he knew of […]

Ferrets reentered our lives about 2 years ago with a coworker that was unable to keep his fuzzies. From there ferret math took over. My infinitely patient wife, Evelyn (Mother Nature), and I started this Father Natures Ferret Rescue after a trip to a local county shelter. We were heartbroken over the ferrets […]

Gail’s interest in ferrets began in 1988 when she was given a young girl. This was her third and, lucky for her, final home. Before Gail knew what happened, her heart was stolen. She began sheltering because there was no one else in the area that worked with exotic pets. […]

After my dog of 17 years died in about 1994, I couldn’t stand to replace him. But I’d seen baby ferrets in the mall stores around Indianapolis and had already taken to visiting them. My first ferret was larger and more desperate than the others. I know now he had probably been returned. […]

My sister had a ferret back in 1994 and that is how I got interested in them. My start in sheltering was actually an accident. Word got ‘around’ that I had them and people began contacting me with the usual, “I can’t keep it, do you want it?”.

We’ve had several special ferrets. […]

Recently my husband, Tom, reminded me that back in 2000, as my two almost-grown children were preparing to “leave the nest,” I said to him, “I think we should consider fostering a child.” It’s clear to me now there was room in my heart that has since been filled […]

We are a shelter; we adopt as many ferrets out that come to us. If they are in need of medical attention, they always receive it before being put up for adoption. If we receive a ferret in that is in poor health or very old and adoption is not in its […]

Wind & Willows Ferret Rescue was started to fulfill a promise I made to our first ferret, Kodo. We purchased Kodo 4 years ago as a therapy pet to help my teenage daughter overcome severe depression. She needed something to make her want to get up and get better. Kodo save […]
