As Of....January 2010
[updated as changes come in...new list approx. every 6 months]
Please Note:
This list was created to aid the members of the Ferret Mailing List (FML)--and
everyone else who cares to use it--in finding ferret shelters around the world.
The shelters listed here have asked to be listed and have supplied the information shown.
Because of the magnitude of the task, Support Our Shelters is not able to verify the
information that we receive and list here. However, we do verify the information as much
as possible before we use the funds donated to us to support a specific shelter.
We hope you will support at least one of the shelters on this list, and we encourage you
to verify the shelter's information for yourself.
Thank you for helping the ferrets!
The shelters are ordered alphabetically by location, starting with non-U.S.shelters.
If you have questions about the FML Shelter List
or want to be listed in the next FML Shelter List issue,
please contact:
Sharon Bearden

TAX DEDUCTIONS FOR ALL!!
Support Our Shelters (S.O.S.) compiles this list and is a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization.
EIN # 23-3062176
Donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
You may request that a specific shelter receives your gift, or we will choose the neediest shelters for you.
501(c)3 NON-PROFIT SHELTERS -- See individual listings for more info.
There are many good shelters which are not 501(c)3.
*********************************************************************************************************************
If You'd Like To Send A Gift To A Shelter
You can encourage and support the wonderful people who work so hard for the ferrets we love by sending email greetings, donating ferret gifts or supplies, contributing to paying expenses, or volunteering hands-on help.
Contributions may be made directly to their vets to cover bills.
Or chose a shelter or more each month and send them $5 or $10.
Or join the Buck-a-Month Club at www.SupportOurShelters.org
FERRET SUPPLIES: If you want to mail supplies to shelters, you can order them from one of the catalog companies and have
them shipped directly to the shelter instead of paying postage twice. Be sure to tell the company and the shelter what
you are doing. Just a few are:
Ferret Depot www.Ferretdepot.com 1-800-496-3335
Totally Ferret www.totallyferret.com 1-877-545-5462
Jeffers Medical & General Care www.jefferspet.com 1-800-JEFFERS
Companions Choice Products Ltd.
www.companionschoice.com (serves UK and Europe)
It means so much to get that care package!
