Our Adoption Process

So you’re ready to add a ferret to your family! Whether you’re an experienced ferret parent or a first timer, all potential applicants must fill out an adoption application. We strive to match you with the perfect ferret and our application helps us with that.

Please note: we will need 1-2 references, veterinarian info, and landlord contact info (if you rent)

We require photos of any common areas the ferrets will have access to (we ask for photos to help make sure things are ferret proofed and safe for your future friend) as well as photos of any animals already living in the home


The Adoption Application

Below is a list of questions. Please answer beside the questions and send back to me. Thank you.

1. Your name and name of your spouse or significant other (if any.)
2. Your phone # and city where you live.
3. Are you a student? If so, where?
4. Are there smokers in the household?
5. Does everyone in your household agree with you getting a ferret?
6. Is your home a house, apartment or trailer?
7. Do your own or rent?
7a. If you rent, please provide your landlord’s name and phone #.
8. Are you expecting any changes in your life in the next six months (move, baby, more pets, roommate, etc.)?

9. Are there any other pets in your household? If so, what kind and how old?
9a. Name and phone # of vet you use for any pets you have now (include pet’s name and last name it’s under in the system)
10. Emergency vet care can be expensive. Are you financially prepared to provide the proper care and vet visits for a ferret? (Emergency visits can reach $1k easily)
11. Provide the name and phone # of one person as a reference for your interactions with animals, and how you know them. This person shouldn’t be living with you.


Questions to help me place the right ferret with your home:
12. Ages of people who will be around the ferret.
13. Is anyone in the house handicapped (physically or mentally)? If so, in what way?
14. Is there a recliner or rocking chair in the home?
15. Where do you plan to put the cage for the ferret you want to adopt and where in the house will it be allowed to play?
16. How much time will the ferret have out of the cage?
