Duke is a newcomer to our shelter. His medical care has been a priority, since he came to us with a tumor hanging out of his ear. We have already had this horrible tumor removed from Duke's ear. Histology is pending. These expenses have added to our already large vet bill. And depending on histo reports, Duke may undergo further surgery.
Duke came to us recently, along with two other neglected ferrets. A fourth ferret didn't make it to our shelter. These ferrets were left in a small cage with no food or water. We'll never know how long Duke was left standing in his feces, but judging by the condition of his urine scalded feet, it had been some time. ********************************************************** The NAFAR shelter is always in need of food (Zupreem grain free, EVO grain free turkey), Swheatscoop, pee pads, paper towels and donations for our ever growing veterinary bills, currently over $1500. Even after generous discounts. More than half our ferrets are seniors (6-9 years) and/or in hospice care. This past year we were able to move the adoptable ferrets out to our new building which still needs finishing touches (like vinyl flooring). This project took priority over the enclosed outdoor play area we had intended to build, so the play yard was pushed back until spring. A big investment, but our fuzzies are worth it. Donations for this project are also greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Harry, Trinity, Bella Deva, Lulu, Farrah, Bojengo, Dexter, Squeaky, Pearl, Ruby, Lucy Lou, BooBoo, Booker, Annabelle, Duke, Musette, Kate, Possum, Mr Bigs, FeeBee, Taz, Abner, Pogo, Tinkerbell, Isabelle, Caylee, Jade, Indigo, Koala, Hazel, Pepper, Font, Ellie, and Doodle. |
