Ferret Shelters in Missouri

Forget-Me-Not-Ferrets - Alexandria, Mo & Quincy, Il - exist to provide a warm, safe, and loving home for unwanted, abused and neglected ferrets regardless of age, health status, or temperament.

We also try to provide assistance with food, bedding and supplies to needy ferret parents to keep ferrets in a loving home when possible. We believe it is also important to provide education and support for ferret families struggling with lack of knowledge but willing to learn.

FURRY Ferret Rescue is a 501c3 not for profit No Kill Ferret Rescue serving the Saint Louis Metro Area.

Our Mission is to find new forever homes for discarded ferrets and provide for the sick and elderly ferret in our foster care program.

We are a group of foster families that take ferrets in need into our homes. We do not have a shelter building or location. We meet up at several Petsmarts in the Satin Louis area twice a month for an adoption event.

Shelter is a 501(c)3 organization.

Note that these links are to Missouri, but their adoptables are sheltered at a home in Shawnee Mission, KS. The Kansas City Ferret Hotline and Shelter was founded in March, 1992. The original goal was to provide education for the pet community by placing an informational brochure in veterinary offices, and pet stores. But the ferrets started coming in and nothing has ever stemmed the flow.

Capacity
Originally the shelter was in the basement of the director's house in Kansas City, Mo. In 1994, a sunroom which was specifically configured for the ferrets with many windows, tile floors, separate sinks, and immediate access to the laundry room was added onto the house. We then could accommodate up to 90. Although this was severely tested in the fall of 2001 by the sudden arrival of 48 confiscated foundlings, we usually maintained a census of between 40 and 50.

Currently our ferrets are permanently or temporarily housed in foster homes throughout the metropolitan area. Most of our adoptables are sheltered at a home in Shawnee Mission, Ks. The capacity there is 20-30 ferrets.
