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.
