CA2OR Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Well, it breaks my heart to do this but I have to find a good home for my ferret's. We have 2, a boy and a girl. Lilo and Stitch are their names. They are litter box trained and very loving....Stitch loves to give kisses....anyway with our 1 year old son and my wife being 8 months pregnant with our second I now realize that I don't have the time anymore to give them. This is tough for me to do so please understand...my wife and I view all of our pets as family members....and treat them as such. So I am not going to just give them to anyone. I want to know they are getting a good, loving home with a family that will appreciate them and give them the attention they deserve. They are guarantied to make you laugh. I have a ton of supplies that will come with them including a double tall cage and an additional single tier cage for travel or whatever...we use it in the bedroom when we let them out so they have access to a litter box. We have bags of treats, 2 bags of food, I will buy you a bag of litter, carpeted cat climbers....which they love. Vitamins, ear drops, shot records, and anything else I have or you would need would be provided. Again, this is not easy for us nor something we ever planned on doing. But at the same time, due to the love we share for them we recognize that we cannot provide them with the attention that they need. They are 2 and 3 or 3 and 4....sorry can't remember when we got them exactly. They are fixed and do not bite....unless you just ate a Recess Peanut Butter Cup....seriously...that is the only time they bit someone. They aren't too bad in the stealing department....don't care much for jewlery, but they do like leather so watch your wallet. Lilo is also notorious for stealing cash....I don't know why but on 2 seperate occasions I fell asleep on the floor when they were out and she stole $50 the first time and $200 the second.....and we never found it....but I did find 3 $20's under the couch when we moved. I am going to want to come to your house should you be interested just to take a look and gain some comfort for their safety. Thanks for your consideration and understanding. I posted this in PNWMAS because I have come to trust several of you and consider this club as family, in an odd sort of way. Here are some pic's....Stitch is the white one and Lilo is caramel color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanz Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 haha, those are some funny ferrets you got, sorry to hear that you need to find them a new home. I got too many projects going on as well, they'd be cool in my house no doubt, but they'll probably need more attention than I can give them. Hope you find a good home for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I would love to be able to take them but having had a ferret in the past I know what kind of handful they can be. Good luck finding them a good home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Thanks guys....I really have mixed feelings about this. But I am sure there is a good home out there for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Good luck to you! Cute little guys but they can take some work. Ours lived to be about 7 years old. Have you looked into the many ferret rescue groups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 No not yet....we would like to be a part of finding them a home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 one of our main concerns is that they don't get seperated....they have lived their entire lives together thus far and we don't want them to part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitterbait Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I am having a similar problem with my two guinea pigs that were born together. good luck man, i respect an owner wanting the best for their babies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Eric, we're still considering it, but thats no guarantee, unfortunately, we want them, but, we have to decide if we can realistically give them the time they deserve, Jess really misses her ferret.

CA2OR Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 Thank you Twitter....I have a hard time understanding people who don't treat their animals the same. Mick, there is no pressure....I do feel like you guys would be a good home mostly from your expression on how much she misses hers. These 2 are great. But what you don't want to do is over extend yourself on something that is supposed to be fun....if it works out for you guys let me know. We are going to try very hard to avoid any sort of shelter or adoption service and I can promise you we will not be doing any thing that would separate them....I would rather make it work here. It just really isn't fair to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 If you absolutely can't find a home for them I will take them, depending on the price that is if you are selling or giving them away. I wouldn't want to see them get separated either. I have had two in the past and had to get rid of them because they didn't get along with a puppy I had??? Couldn't figure that one out. But I live in an apartment but have plenty of room and only have 2 parakeets. PM me if you need my number or more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reef165 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I have always wanted one, and yours are very cute but my GF's cat is the issue! It dosn't like sharing the family, we have tryed to get another cat and well she wouldn't have it. Good luck finding a home, have you serched to see if there's a forum like ours for them, it might be easyer to find a home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJenchild Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Eric, I will forward this thread to a friend of mine who has 2 ferrets currently. He is a fantastic ferret home and I'd definitely trust him with a couple more. They get run of his house daily, sleep in a "ferret mansion" at night, and he definitely treats them like family. I'll get back to you when I hear more from him! Is there a cost associated with them? That is a question I'm sure he'll ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 Re: Unfortunately I have to make a tough decision I haven't....we are trying to stick in our "comfort zone".....I think we might have found our good home in Jules.....

Jules Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Lilo and Stitch are settled in for the most part and doing quite nicely. Stitch has is "hidiing spot" with the shoes. Lilo's hidiing sopt is inside the cage right now....They are adorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algae Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Glad they found a great home. Ferrets are arguably the funniest animal ever invented. I remember when I had a visitor over and my male started doing the "War Dance", backed into a wall and started it all over again. My friend thought that there was something wrong with him. I replied "Yeah, he's a ferret". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddcarpenter Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I had a picture of the two I had 20 years ago that was hillarious. They would torment my doberman and then back into my motorcycle helmet. They were a wicked tag team on that poor dog lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
