Strongsville, OH 44136
(near Albion Rd. and W. 130th St.)

Cost: FREE!
Donations of cash, food, or supplies are welcomed.

RSVP: Not required, but it would help to know if you plan to attend, so that we can be sure to have enough refreshments on hand.

For Info: FURS (216) 502-2977, events@ferretsunlimited.org; or Healing Hearts Ferret Rescue, (330) 931-9531, or ferretfreakx4@yahoo.com.

Featuring:

· Fabulous raffles, highlighted by our always-popular lottery frame, a 50/50 raffle, and a pair of great tickets to an upcoming Cleveland Browns game. Raffle drawings will begin at 5:00 p.m. You need not be present to win.

· A wonderful selection of ferret-themed items for sale to raise funds for our respective rescues.

· Games, games, games! Litter Box Roulette, tube races, the great paper bag escape contest, and Ferret Black Jack. Pick one of our ferrets and cheer on the fuzzy whom you think will take top honors!

· Bring a picture of your own fuzzy(ies) to post on our Brag Board!

Come early and spend the day with us, or drop by anytime and join in the fun. We’re hoping for great early fall weather, so that we can enjoy both indoor and outdoor socializing.

We’ll provide the main fare (pizza, hot dogs, maybe wings and burgers) and soft drinks. Feel free to bring a side dish, snack, or dessert to share. If you wish to partake in a more potent beverage, you may bring your own.

A Note to Our “Non-Ferret” Friends:

Considering a ferret as a pet? Ferrets are wonderful companion animals – active, inquisitive, and very social. But, they have unique needs and habits and are not for everyone. If you are wondering about the rewards and responsibilities of sharing your home with a ferret, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn about them. The volunteer staff of FURS and Healing Hearts will be on hand to answer your questions and give you an in-person introduction to several of our adoptable ferrets.

Please note: We do not adopt ferrets “on-site.” Potential adopters are required to complete an adoption agreement and agree to our screening process. We do this both for the benefit of our ferrets and potential adopters.

Ferrets Unlimited Rescue Services and Healing Hearts Ferret Rescue are both 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organizations. Your donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by IRS regulations.
