Hairballs and ferrets, hairballs aren't just
something cats get, and ferrets have
more trouble with them because they
can't regurgitate them back up like cats
can. I've chosen to be an advocate for
ferrets. Playing with ferrets is lots of fun!
Stealing, one of ferrets favorite pastimes.
Watch these pretty ferrets run through a
tube, wrestling, and playing as they have fun
with each other. This is mock combat. Find
money on this site, or maybe you can earn
a job. Carma will be on your side if you donate
money to Ferret Rescue and Adoption of
South Texas! Ferrets steal, ferrets hide
their loot.  Help us out, make a donation

we go out of business. Run, play, fight.!!!

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!

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

WE NEED YOUR HELP
TO CARE FOR THESE
SOMETIMES,
MISUNDERSTOOD, YET
WONDERFUL LITTLE
ANIMALS BECAUSE
THEY NEED  
SOMEWHERE  TO GO
WHEN NOBODY ELSE
WANTS THEM.  
We are changing and adding to this site in hopes of making it better and more helpful to you, our guests and
visitors as often as we can. However, our first obligation is to our rescues, who's lives have been enhanced
by the move to our shelter, where they now receive abundant love, the best medical care and finest nutrition
possible.

We continually look for tips and other helpful information to ferret owners, so they can be the best ferret parents
possible.
Some information we list is from my own experience, and some from other sources. We've learned through experience
and reading. That's what we suggest everyone who is considering a ferret do, read about them from various sources.
You will find there is a lot of conflicting information about ferrets even though ferrets have been kept as pets in the US
for many, many years now. You need to just sort out what you read and when you find conflicting information, continue
searching until you find another source that agrees with one of them at least.
I try really hard to make sure the information you read here on our site is accurate and up to date.
If I learn of a new illness for instance, I will post it in the appropriate location in a way to make it stand out,
so it will be noticed as soon as possible, and you, our ferret owner visitors will be aware of new symptoms
to look for in your pet.

When you buy a ferret, or any pet for that matter, you're making a commitment, to always do everything
possible, to assure that it's life is the best it can be. INCLUDING costly medical procedures, just as you
would any other member of your family, as you are essentially adding ANOTHER MEMBER to your family!
They count on you for everything, PLEASE don't let them down!

WE ARE  STILL TAKING IN FERRETS

AND, WE ARE TAKING DONATIONS HERE VIA PAYPAL.
