Update: I'm giving everyone extra time to get in this morning so we will be opening around 9:30 or 10: 00. Earlier appointments will be accommodated right at that time and later appointments will keep their regular time. Thank you.

We're still playing tomorrow (Friday) by ear. I suspect we'll be open but probably not right at 8am. Updates here when we see who can get in in the morning. Thank you for your understanding!

Tonight's the night of Ferret Dreams Rescue and Adoption's BIG fundraiser! We have a few reminders for you.

1. Location: This is very important, as there are 2 Embassy Suites in the Tech Center area. Our fundraiser will be held at Embassy Suites by Hilton Denver Tech Center North. 7525 E. Hampden Ave. Denver, CO.

2. BYOD! Bring your own device to use for bidding. Make sure your device is fully charged. We'll provide the WiFi. No paper bid sheets, this year. Ferrets have gone hi-tech!

3. Don't be late! The Silent Auction will end at 7pm.

4. Last, but of utmost importance, don't drink and drive. Embassy Suites suggests you "Take the elevator home!". They will be offering a limited number of discounted rooms for a good night's sleep. So, bring along your jammies, enjoy the drinks, spend the night at Embassy Suites and drive home sober on Sunday.

Thank you to everyone for supporting Ferret Dreams Rescue and Adoption, year round, but especially this evening! We'll see you at 5pm! 👋

Lost dog!

Meet Panda! This darling little stinker has a wonderful, loving family and an escape-artist streak. A couple weeks ago, his sneakiness got him into major trouble with an attack by a neighbor dog. His family rushed him to ER where they gave him a grave prognosis. I am so happy they found us at Critter Care because we were able to make the correct diagnoses and put little Humpty-Dumpty back together again. He needed two surgeries for, first, repair of his internal injuries, then second, repair of his leg fracture. He has been making great strides in his recovery and we are all so happy we could help. As you can imagine, two weeks of hospitalization and two surgeries comes with a substantial hospital bill. If you are able to help Panda's family, they have set up a GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/dc86c44d

**Update**
She's at the Gabriel Foundation, hopefully she can find her family.

Found Budgie!
A good samaritan in our neighborhood dropped off a budgie they found loose in their yard. We've given her a safe spot for the night and she was stuffing her face when I left. Please share the word and if you know anyone missing a yellow and green budgie, have them give us a call. She is banded. We will be handing her off to one of the local shelters next week and I will update here.

Update: Critter Care will be closed Saturday February 5th. Apologies for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
