The decision to surrender your ferret can be a difficult one, and
the reasons for having to do so are very different. If you are thinking of surrendering your ferret, please call
our hotline. Our
volunteers will assist you with any questions you may
have about the process, and after discussing your
situation with you may be able to provide you with
some new options.
If you decide to surrender your ferret to FRES, you will need to
complete three forms.
Surrender Agreement
Legally signs the ferret over to FRES’ care
and ownership.
Surrender
Information Form
Provides FRES with information about the
ferret, its medical background, temperament, and favorite
toys/treats etc.
Veterinary Records Release Form
Veterinarians are not allowed to release veterinary
records to anyone but the pet's owner.
Completing this form legally provides FRES with
access to any veterinary records for your ferret(s).
A thorough and accurate veterinary history helps our
veterinarians provide the best care possible for your
ferret.
Once your ferret is surrendered to FRES, he/she will be placed into
a FRES approved foster home where a loving foster
family will care for them before they are adopted.
You have the option of being notified once your
ferret is adopted.
To
make the transition as un-stressful
as possible for your ferret:
Surrender
your ferret’s belongings with them
since these items are familiar to them.
Bring some of your ferret’s food so that if
we need to change the food, we may do so slowly,
reducing the chance of a ferret belly ache.
Keep cagemates together; if you surrender your
ferrets together they will be kept in the same foster
home and adopted out together as a pair or group.
