What's New
- Check Out Our Sponsorable Ferrets:
Our rescue and foster home network is currently home to 22 special needs, elderly or hospice ferrets . We desperately need your support to help us provide these fuzzies with surgeries, medications and ongoing veterinary care!
Providing care for these ferrets can be quite expensive so we ask people to sponsor them. Sponsoring can take many forms. Some choose to send a one-time donation, some pledge money every month and others sponsor some or all of the medical care a ferret requires.
Each of these special ferrets has a story - stop by our Sponsorable Ferrets page to learn more about them.
When you sponsor FerretsFirst ferrets, you’ll receive a recent photograph of the ferrets that you have chosen to sponsor, and you can get updates from us anytime.
Sponsorship works, and even the smallest amounts can make a big difference. Become a sponsor today!

- Treat your ferrets to warm, comfortable hammocks!:

- PayPal Donations - A Great Way to Help!:
FerretsFirst currently has a large number of special needs ferrets who, for a variety of reasons, probably will never be adopted. We need help from ferret lovers like you to provide these permanent residents with the good food and medical care that they deserve. Won’t you help today? Even the smallest donations can make a big difference. It’s super easy to do - just click the PayPal button underneath the “Make A Difference” box that appears on every FerretsFirst page! Thanks for your support!
