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: $200 each

The Ferret Association works with a medical laboratory to rehome ferrets that may have been purchased for medical testing but were not needed. These three sable boys are only 4 months old. They are handsome & rowdy! They do not need a home together BUT each needs a home with at least one other young ferret to play with. No tests were ever done on them. They were simply "extras." They were not neutered as infants, so all are big, healthy guys. They are NOT suitable for homes with young children, as they can be nippy. But with lots of attention & exercise, the boys will become sweet and wonderful pets.

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!

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.
