Feedback from our adopters/adoptees

June 20th, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

Good Morning,

 

I just wanted to give you the update.  Brent Weaver from Seaport Aquarium came yesterday and picked up Zorak and her enclosure and took them to the aquarium.  I am very happy with how easy the adoption process was and with her new owners.

 

Thank you for your help and for your wonderful service! 

 

Sincerely,

Patty, Dave, and Larry,
    I adopted Darth about a year ago, and i just thought you would like to hear that he is doing great.  He and my female, Brembo, were just at the vet for their annual check-up, and vaccinations, and are both in stellar fantastic health!
     I attached a couple pictures of him / them for you.  Thanks again for everything, and hopefully i will be contacting you soon about coming up to visit

Talk to You Soon,

Hi Dave,

            Here are some pictures of mocha, we have nick named her the blur because she’s so quick most pictures are just that…a blur. We love her though and she has turned out to be a fantastic educational animal for our collection. She loves her roommate Ed, and they enjoy there playtime every day. Our volunteers love to give them different things to do, and now that it has warmed up she even gets to go outside and play in our out door playpen. The donation is still in the process, but it is going to be to you as soon as possible. I hope you enjoy the pictures, and just know Mocha is doing great

 

Thank you again

May 2010 updates

May 16th, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

Some big changes from 2009-2010 :

 Dave now is officially our ferret shelter dad, he has the adoptables at his home and has custom made them play areas, and free roam ‘caged’ areas.  He has taken over adoptions and surrenders and has gone above and beyond for the rescue.

Larry has the sicker ferrets that need hand feedings, TLC and financial help.

Gail is still liaison for the rescue, and helps with the admin issues.
Meri is our webmistress, south NJ contact

Diane is still our PA contact/foster and help with PA reptile rescues.

Patty screens the incoming/adoption applications, and keeps petfinder up to date.

A big thanks to  kristeen for helping financially, and to set up pet adoption days, organize us and keep us going.
We also appreciate all Metro Ferret has done and continues to do to help us and other shelters in our area.

Summer surrenders.

May Updates

This month, we have receivd three snakes:  a ball python and two corn snakes.  We also have had no adoptions, so the helter is filling up.  We have a young derret coming in this weekend, so pictures of all new arrivals to follow

Yesterday was both a good and bad day for the shelter.  Two bearded dragons were adopted, the yellow girl and Rex.  They are going to a great home!  Also, the adopter donated a young leopard gecko for our school, so as soon as he is settled in and eating well, he will be going to a very special classroom.

 For the bad, Bad Beorn Bear passed yesterday.  He was my original Jersey ferret and the reason we opened.  Without him, the shelter would notbe the same.  I got him when he was around 2, and had the honor of being his person for 7 years.  I will miss my boy terribly and am heartbroken.

Other News–Poopapallooza will happen in July.  More news to come when a date is set.  We will have T-Shirts for sale to benefit te shelter.  Well, as soon as they are designed.

Right now, the shelter needs ferratone, nutrical, FerreNation cage sets, newspaper,  amd extra large ceramic food bowls (like 12 inches).  We also could use help with vet bills.
