Jethro

Jethro was surrendered to Ferrets North Information and Rescue Society at the young age of three months. His previous owners had bought him as a first pet for their six year old son; not surprisingly, things didn't work out. At the time on his surrender, Jethro had quite a nipping problem due to a lack of socialization and, when he arrived in his foster home he introduced himself to his foster mom by sneaking up on her and nipping her on the nose. Jethro's foster family worked with him on his nipping. After a few short weeks he and his foster dad become inseparable and his foster family just had to adopt him. Jethro loves going on adventures to the park with his new family and other ferret friends and welcoming the new ferrets that his family fosters.

Casper

Casper, formerly Cooper, was surrendered to the society after his previous owner had learned that she was not allowed to keep him in her apartment building. Casper was in decent health, though he was suffering from a prolapsed rectum which cleared up once the hair that he had ingested was out of his system. Casper was not even 3 years old and had been re-homed four times already, likely due to his rather energetic disposition, and he IS a handful! Because he had been rehomed so many times already in his short life and he got along well with the foster families resident dog, cats and ferrets, his foster family chose to adopt him. Casper has settled in to his new home quite well and enjoys the numerous snuggles and walks that he receives from his new family.

Orphelia

Orphelia was surrendered with eight other ferrets; circumstances had changed and her owner could not longer cope with the demands of such a large group of ferrets. Orphelia, like the other ferrets that she was surrendered with, was suffering from malnutrition and lacking in muscle tone. She was also afraid of men and would nip them when she got the opportunity. Despite her sorry state, it did not take long for Orphelia to win her foster mom's heart and bond with a previously outcast ferret in her new foster home. Orphelia's foster home soon became her forever home and her new family is helping her get over her fear of men.

Cooper

Cooper was rescued from a family who suspected that he was sick but did not want to spend the money to have a vet check him over. His former family was ready to put him down when the society offered to take Cooper off of their hands. Cooper, as it turned out, was not ill; he was suffering from an enlarged spleen which cleared up once garlic was taken out of his diet (his former family had been adding garlic to his diet in a misguided attempt to prevent fleas). Cooper was adopted by a family who loves older ferrets for their cuddliness, and Cooper fit in perfectly with their existing ferret troop. He is now quite happy, healthy and fat, enjoying tons of run time, cuddles, and an extra large ferret room for those rare times when he and his ferret friends cannot be out ransacking the house.
