My reason for Rescuing

Above is a picture of my first two rescues.

We found them through a friend who had heard a radio ad about the two and a cage.
They had been beaten and thrown out of their house. A woman was kind enough to pick them up and put them on the radio station's list for sale.

150.00 for each of them so I happened to have gotten 200.00 as a gift for whatever I wanted from a family member.

I immediately bought them.

They were vicious, they were scared, they screamed when you touched them.
It was a nightmare.
We worked and worked and worked with them until all was well. They calmed down, they started playing and were sweethearts till the very end.

Time came that we had to move. It was hard on me because I knew Rath wouldn't survive the move, he hated change, he loved the climate of Kentucky and whatnot.

We found a woman who had 4 children, they wanted a ferret, but a baby was just not an option. I told them that Rath and Ara were good beginner ferrets, they were calm but playful, they put up with anything.

I let them come meet the ferrets, checked their house, told them to study up on ferret proofing and what I believed needed to be proofed before they took them home.

She gave us 60.00 for the cage, and they left a month after meeting them.

I cried the whole way there.

But it was for the best.
The woman kept in contact and I decided they were to be the mascots for my rescue.
Ever since them I wanted to help ferrets in need, and specialize in ferrets once I go to Veterinary School.

It was a happy story.

So let me introduce you to each one.


This sweet boy is Ratholomue/Rath, with his favorite toy. He was a good boy once he knew we weren't gonna hurt him. He was a lot of work. I took him everywhere, he loved me and I loved him. We did everything together. One day even we took him to participate in a parade. He learned to sit up, he learned to roll over and learned that when I curled him up against my chest it was nap time. He never complained. :)
He, in my opinion was the hardest to let go.



Here is Araphina. She was a daddy's girl. She wasn't as easy going as Rath was so she didn't get taken out that much out in the open. She loved to climb trees, she loved to climb everything. She was a cuddle bug. She was calmer than Rath in many aspects, she refused to learn tricks but it was fine. Ara was a good girl, she loved the family right away. It made me happy to know she was happy.

These guys hold a very special place in my heart and always will.

So thank you Ara and Rath, you guys were the best. :)
