| Our mission to adopt and be advocates for ferrets began several years ago after buying one for my daughter, then after meeting a ferret in person discovered how well this type of pet and I could get along, considering my lifestyle, patience level etc. I wanted a ferret for myself,but didn't want to buy from a pet store as with the first. Rather, I wanted to give a home to one in need of someone to love him/her. I let the people at the nearest pet store know I was willing to take in an unwanted ferret and within a month and a half had taken in three, and we are in a fairly rural area. I just couldn't say no to the people who needed to find a home for their ferret. I was even able to adopt a ferret in front of a pet store from someone who was going there to return the one he had bought earlier that week, said that a ferret just wasn't right for their home, and seeing that I was holding an older model of what he had there, figures that I would be able to give him a good home. Handed him over to me right there in front of the store. We now only take in the ferrets since it has slowed down considerably how many we get in and everyone who asks to adopt, wants to for the wrong reason!

| This is Lucy, she is a healthy Ferret, and healthy Ferrets have a very healthy curiosity! I'm sure she saw the bags and thought "Hmmm, I wonder what's in those!?" Then, as she was lookin' around in the bag, she probably thought, "Hmmm, I wonder what's in this box right here"? I'm sure it didn't take very long for little1.1 pound Lucy to scatter the Fruit Loops. A healthy Ferret absolutely, CAN NOT continue their LIFE, without knowing what's inside ANYTHING. They're very good with "SPACE RELATIONS" too by the way! Many people discover that tyhe ferret they bought is too much for them to handle shortly after bringing it home, especially if they thought they didn't need a cage. This probably explains why so many we get in are still just babies "which is the perfect age for a ferret to bond with their new human". Once a baby bonds with us,we just got another ferret to live out it's life here. Soon we will be building a state-of-the-art ferret habitat with all the ammenities they could ever want! It'll be fabulous! |

| Ferret Rescue and Adoption of South Texas. I feel like I'm doing good for something, in this case ferrets that need a home. Change is a constant, things change continually and this effects people and their lives. We are a fledgling organization. We do not have our 501(c)(3) status with the IRS. It costs money to get this classification. If we had this, we would be able to qualify for grants to help make improvements to the ferrets living quarters, buy more toys to entertain them, etc. WE NEED YOUR DONATIONS! In the three years that this site has been up, we've received less than $300. I spend more than that every month out of my own pocket! This non-profit can grow, but we need the non-profit status with the IRS to be able to get GRANT MONEY! If you ferret lovers will help us by digging down in your pockets and give us a little help, there are organizations out there that we can pay to help us file. We just don't have the funding. Look at the faces of these little guys. They have a great home here, they get to play until they conk out twice a day. Then I pick their sleeping little butts up and put them back in their cage. PLEASE CLICK ON THAT "DONATE" BUTTON AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE, IT'LL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD AND YOU'LL BE HELPING OUT A BUNCH OF LITTLE GUYS AND GIRLS. I'VE FOUND OVER 30 GRANT GIVING ORGANIZATIONS THAT WILL HELP US IF WE CAN GET THAT COVETED 501(C)(3) STATUS. STILL DON'T HAVE IT! PLEASE HELP! |

A little something about the "administrator" of Ferret Rescue and Adoption Center of South Texas. Greetings, my name is Micheal Forrest. I was born in Texas, and moved to Palacios as a small child. I later moved to Houston where I finished school, and began working as a mechanic, which I enjoyed for 20+ years. I then changed careers, becoming a Truck Driver. I drove a "Big Truck" and saw our "Beautiful Country" for 10 years or so. (I got married, kids, divorced, etc.) Now, I'm retired and living back in this small, coastal community, Palacios, Texas. I started taking in Ferrets sometime in 2005, after buying one, (a female) for my daughter. She, for one reason or another, couldn't keep it at her apartment. I "babysat" it, and discovered it to be rather destructive. Figuring it was probably just the animals' nature, I thought back to the day of her purchase. The store employees, even the book we read about ferrets, didn't warn of their destructive nature, which I felt I could deal with, as I don't have "nice" furniture, etc. I left my name and number at the local pet store and it wasn't long before we began getting calls. I started taking in the unwanted ferrets, and now have 11 beautiful, curious, energetic, special, boys and girls. We will gladly accept your ferret, and gratefully accept donations. However, donations ARE NOT required for your ferret to have a home here! Micheal W. Forrest |
