Hello cyber friends and shelter supporters,

Our ferret picnic is just a week away. As Mum said in an earlier post the BoD opted not to do raffles at the picnic. However there will be items available to trade for paper towels/napkins. We heard Mum mumbling that our paper towel supplies are depleted. If you want to help restock our paper towels we would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

The newest fur kid at the shelter

Hello cyber friends and shelter supporters,

June 8, 2024 picnic day with ferrets and their humans.

Our Board of Directors have voted to continue with our annual ferret day with a slight modification. As most of you know Our Favorite Doc (OFD) has retired so there will be no checkups or vaccines however it was decided we would have the picnic without OFD.

As usual the shelter will supply the main course and soft drinks/water. Another slight change will be a meat tray instead of hot dogs, because our grill no longer functions. All are welcome with or without ferrets. Many of our shelter supporters prefer to take our shelter ferrets out for the day to give them a day of fun.

We look forward to seeing you again this year.

Dear cyber friends and shelter supporters,

Mum has asked me to let you know her 2 legged furless kids have gone home and we are ready to receive volunteers again. Mum says she is aware of how important our volunteers are; but last week was a real wake up call as to how much gets done by our volunteers. Many of the simple, daily things are done by volunteers. Last week Mum had to make sure the food stations, water fountains, and poo papers were filled and cleaned before she left to meet up with Roderick and Lisa. Mum says we are so blessed to have so many volunteers to help take care of us.

Thank you for understanding and giving Mum the time to spend with her far away children. We look forward to receiving our volunteers again.

Mocha and Mum

Mum is letting everyone know that her oldest boy Roderick and daughter in-law Lisa are coming home the week of May 6th through May 13th. Mum is suspending all volunteer help for the entire time Roderick and Lisa are home. Volunteer help will resume after the 13th of May.

Thanks for your understanding.

Me and Mum decided we would share with you one picture at a time from the 2024 calendar. Miss Mary Ellen said she would help us do that. Mr. Antonio made sure the pictures were print ready then put the entire calendar of pictures into a collage. I told Mum it would be fun to highlight each months picture one at a time.

Mum thought that was a good idea.

There are still a few calendars left. The price will stay the same as last year, $15.00 each + shipping. We will ship in a flat rate envelope priority mail $9.65. 4 calendars will fit in that one envelope.

Thank you all for your support!

Rochester Institute of Technology students spent the day with us on October 29, 2023.

These ladies helped us get the summer furniture put away in the garage for winter, mixed ferret food, sorted the ferret toys, putting the ones that needed to be washed into a laundry bag, and the ones in disrepair thrown away.

We enjoy their time with us, and the assistance they give while they are here. The ferrets love to help them help us. Thank you ladies.

Hello cyber friends and shelter supporters!

We want you to meet our newest volunteers. Their parents bring them to Naples to help us out weekly. Mum took this picture of them last Saturday. Mum puts the jobs that need doing on the white board, each of them pick a chore to complete. When they finish the list Mum lets them hang out with us, they usually get the last 1/2 hour to play with us before they leave.

Mum says they are a great help to her, and we love hanging out with them.

I'm off to play.
