About Five Points Ferret Refuge
We started rescue several years ago, when looking for a pet for our family and finding so many unwanted ferrets in a city the size of Indianapolis.With our children grown, we have the room in our home and more time to devote to these special little creatures, and their antics and affection give us great joy.
We accept ferrets from families who can no longer take care of them for a variety of reasons as well as strays and run-aways. We try to find their families before placing them for adoption. We try to adopt out all young healthy fuzzies, but some stay with us for the rest of their lives and we care for and love them like our own.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
