The goal of the Oregon Ferret Shelter (Oregon City, Oregon) is to care for all homeless ferrets until a new permanent loving home is found.
Oregon Ferret Shelter is a 100% no-kill shelter, that is, no ferrets are ever euthanized due to lack of room.
OFS offers sponsorship and foster programs. Someone can sponsor a special needs ferret that remains in the care of the shelter for $10 a month. (This helps defray medical costs for a specific ferret). The foster program allows an unusually geriatric or special needs ferret to go to a foster home for extra TLC while still being financially supported by the shelter. Ferret adoptions are available for $90 through three years of age, and $50 for ages four and up. The adoption fee includes adult ferrets that are spayed or neutered with distemper shot and a certificate with contract for kits to be altered at the appropriate time. Distemper shots given prior to adoption are those appropriate for the age of the ferret kit. All ferrets are also ADV tested and receive an AVID microchip that you can have registered in your name. Typically, 40 to 75 ferrets are available for adoption at the shelter.
If you’re considering adopting a ferret, be sure to read the Ferret Facts. They will provide you with useful information about ferrets to aid you in deciding if the ferret is the right pet for your home.
