Dear far away mom and dad,
We are having a bit of a discussion with Mum, she says we sent you a thank you note the last time you sent us our lectric money, we say we didn't - Can you please tell us who is right in this fight? PLEEEEEAASE?
We are attaching pictures of us that were taken, Mum took us to college to help teach the students that we ferrets are awesome pets! Mum was teaching one of the students how to clip my nails.
Thanks
we love you
Bella and Spencer

Just wanted to check in and see how Bella's foot was doing today. We were really upset to read about it today. Hope it's feeling much better and I hope you and the whole staff are having a good start to the year.
Thank you,
Steph & Bill
Shelter Mum's response: Oh how nice of you to check on Bella. Her incision is healing nicely we will be removing the stitches this coming weekend. Where the stitches are I need a second set of hands to hold her while I snip and pull stitches. You would not even know she had surgery over Christmas week.
Far away family's response: I'm glad to hear that. I really wish Steph and I lived a little closer and could come me everyone. Thank you again for all that you do.

Just wanted to thank you again for all that you guys are doing. Your love for these little guys is very evident. Thrilled to be a super small part of the huge difference you're making.

Bella and Spencer are settling in nicely. Bella now eats her soup out of the bowl in my arm. I was concerned for her health she was acting a bit lethargic. We have her back on track. Spencer is a busy little man.
April 24, 2013:
Bella and Spencer had their nose in the soup bowl this morning; they were doing some more investigating than they had been. I took the cover off the front of their cage today. I cover the cages when they first come in so they do not get spooked every time someone walks in the room. When I added a paper to their poo box tonight they did not even stir when I opened the cage. I believe they are starting to feel comfortable here.
Arrival Story:
Initial contact, April 15, 2013:
My son has two ferrets that he needs to surrender. His new job doesn’t allow enough time to properly care for them and give them the attention they deserve. He re-homed them to a couple several months ago, but they had a baby and can no longer care for them either, so they returned them to him. They both have current shots ad have had a recent check up. He will provide all of their toys, cage, blankets etc. and enough food and water for a month. I will make a donation as well to help facilitate this.
My wife raises dogs so we cannot take them either, but we are animal lovers and do not wish them any harm or neglect. My son works 2nd shift and is gone 14-15 hrs each day and then sleeps.
Please contact me if you can help or refer us to someone who can.
Thank you, Wayne

Ferrets coming to the shelter need to be up to date on vaccines with documentation that is imperative. We have room for them at this time, you 2 ½ hr from us when would you like to surrender them?
Owner Response, April 16, 2013:
Thank you for your prompt reply Brenda. I will talk to my son and let you know when we can get things together. It will have to be on the weekend but we will accommodate your schedule as best as we possibly can. I will scan and email the Vet documents for their shots to you in the next day or so and schedule things after that.
Thanks again,
Wayne
Shelter Response, April 17, 2013:
Thanks I look forward to your response, weekends work best for us.
Owner Response, April 19, 2013:
Brenda,
Attached are the certificates for the ferrets, Spencer and Bella. I will give you the originals when we meet. Please advise if this is sufficient documentation and a time to surrender them.
Thank you,
Wayne
Owner Response, April 19, 2013:
