I need to keep my big mouth shut.
Sigh.......Well I might be involved in a rescue of sorts today. I know CL is evil but I frequent it regularly...and today I saw an ad that said the following : "My husband rescued this feret from being drowned by it's owners. We know nothing about ferets, i am pregnant and can't take care of it, and my mother-in-law is allergic so this little guy needs a new home. Comes with three story cage, food bowl, and water bottle. I don't know how old it is but it is a small feret and i'm told it will stay that way. It is friendly and likes to play with people. Needs a new home asap."
So I call them and the mother in law answers the phone. Tells me they need this ferret OUT asap, her son brought it home but she cannot stand them and she won't allow it in the house. Someone was supposed to come by this afternoon and pick it up but she is skeptical because people off CL can be so flaky and she doesn't want any harm to come to him but they disgust her and they will have to set him outside if this person does not show up. I told her WAIT. If they don't show up STOP and call me FIRST. They thanked me and seemed a little surprised someone would feel so strongly about ferrets.
So I've done my part, if they don't call then I am going to assume he's safe in a new home and if they do call I will just get him and figure out the rest later. This area they are in is pretty remote, our friend lives there, and there are tons of coyotes and I don't really need another ferret but anything would be better than them setting him loose out there.
Sighhhh..we'll see what happens.
