I'm very sorry to report that our precious little Jessi-Lyn has gone over to the Rainbow Bridge last night.
This precious little girl, who came to us a little over a month ago, was adopted from the Animal Foundation and after 2 months developed an enlarged spleen. Her "adopter" turned her back over to the shelter, where she was slated for euthanasia.
I brought Jessi-Lyn home, to a place filled with love, soft beds, warm soupy with vitamins and supplements, where she was surrounded by other ferrets to make her feel like she belonged. Like she mattered. Where she was loved.
She was given a chance to feel love, and pass peacefully in a loving, familiar environment where she was happy and cared for.
She looked forward her soupies in the morning, and wiping her mouth on the carpet. She expolored her surroundings in true ferret fashion, and even found some toys she was intrigued by. She met Lilibet, our resident ferret who was also rescued from the Animal Foundation, and they seemed to communicate with each other in a manner we will never fully understand.
Jessi-Lyn adored her cave bed, where she cuddled in at night, and where she made the decision, on her own, that it was her time. She was happy and at peace. She was home.
Although it is heartbreaking to lose a ferret, especially one that you know is terminal and doesn't have much time left, it is a blessing and an honor to be able to show them the love they so much deserve where others failed them.
When you surrender your ferret to us because you can't afford the vet bill, we pick up the tab, and then we are the ones who have to suffer the loss.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life.
