My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Adoption Application Required: Complete online at https://ferretassn.org/shelter/adoption/adoption-process/adoption-application/ Adoption Fee: $250

Nina & Simone are a pair of tiny little girls who lived the first year of their life in a medical research facility. They were not tested on, simply there to give birth and then are retired. At a little over a year old now, they are getting acclimated to living out of a cage. They are still easily startled and may nip, but in our experience, former lab ferrets quickly become perfectly wonderful pets. However, they are not suitable for a home with young children! They love other ferrets and want a home together. Both are nearly identical.

All FACT ferrets come with current canine distemper and rabies vaccinations as well as a microchip for permanent ID. These services are at least a $350 value. They are trained to use newspaper.
Thanks for planning to adopt your next pet!

Their adoption process

1.
Submit Application

Our application link: https://ferretassn.org/shelter/adoption/adoption-process/adoption-application/ Once received, we'll be in touch!

2.
Interview

We normally meet people in the early evening weekdays or on Sunday mornings. After we chat, we'll meet some ferrets suitable for your family

3.
Take the Pet Home

Our standard adoption fee is $100 (pairs are discounted). If all goes well, you'll take your new ferret home with you that day!

Additional adoption info

We require an in-person interview. Our application is intended to help guide the interview, so we can help make sure a ferret is the right pet for your family and discuss food and care requirements.
We have a standard adoption contract that states if for any reason the adopted ferret must be given up, it is returned to us.
Our standard adoption fee is $100. Pairs that must stay together are discounted.
Since nearly all ferrets sold locally came from pet stores and are already spayed/neutered, we do not get litters of babies into our shelter.

More about this shelter

FACT has been in operation since 1991. When we began, there was no other shelter for ferrets in New England. Now many more animal control and spcas will take in and adopt out ferrets, however, we offer ferrets and adopters specialized, extensive knowledge.
