About Us

FerretsFirst is a no-kill shelter and rescue dedicated to ferrets. Our goal is to provide homeless ferrets with a warm, loving environment and medical care while nurturing their individual needs and personality until a permanent home can be found. Older and sick ferrets often find their permanent home right here. FerretsFirst provides education and counseling to promote a greater understanding of the needs of these deserving animals. For a nominal charge, boarding services are available.

We recognize that every ferret has a unique personality which is taken into consideration when matching ferrets with potential parents. What every ferret does have in common is that they are playful, they are dependent on their owners for care and attention and they have feelings. Ferrets also become dependent on other ferrets if they are raised together. We call these 'bonded' ferrets. If you are thinking about adopting a ferret or ferrets make sure you have the time, the love and the resources to provide adequate medical care. Adopting a ferret should be a commitment for the life of the ferret.

FerretsFirst is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. All donations to FerretsFirst are tax deductible.
