Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Oreo is for adoption to a home with or without another ferret. He is 2 ¾ years old, neutered, descented, microchipped. There’s an adoption process.
Oreo is a super sweet ferret. He likes to be held. He’s friendly with humans and other animals, not so much with ferrets. He can be a little too much for some ferrets. He’s very playful. He must be allowed out of the cage at least twice a day and for at least six hours a day.
He loves to play with and hide little rubber duckies and other vinyl and rubbery toys. He has a stash under the dresser!
Oreo is very good about using the litter box, as long as it is kept clean.
Oreo has adrenal disease. About 75% of ferrets will get this. It’s not contagious and it’s not usually the cause of death for a ferret, unless it isn't treated. He got a melatonin implant as treatment. This is good for four months. This slows down the adrenal disease and takes care of the symptoms. The rescue does the implants for $40. These should work for her for a long time and then other forms of treatment (Suprelorelin implant, surgery, etc.) can be done.
$25 to adopt. He’s up to date on distemper vaccination and will not need another in his lifetime. He’s been treated for heartworms, fleas, intestinal parasites and ear mites.
He doesn’t come with a cage. The rescue has cages for sale for cheap, as well nearly any ferret supplies you may need, including: food, water bottles, litter boxes, leashes, harnesses, shampoo, Ferretone, books, nail trimmers, toys, hammocks, sleep sacks, litter, flea supplies, deodorizing spray, cleaning supplies, and much more!
Plan to buy at least one month's worth of food and any needed supplies while here for the adoption. Cash, check, Paypal, Zelle, Venmo and credit card accepted. (2.9% charge on credit cards to cover the processing fee.)
