FRES does not guarantee the availability of ferrets on the adoption page. We encourage anyone interested in adopting to apply immediately and let us know which ferret(s) you are interested in. Please also see our FOSTER PAGE for additional ferrets in our care, who may become available for adoption at a later date.
Bubba (Marked white) came to FRES in 2022 with his best friend Finn (rainbow bridge) when they were approximately 2 years old, he’s a sweet and affectionate solo guy.
He loves socks and will most likely try to bite them if you’re walking by him. He’s playful and he really loves his tubes and bean dig box. He would most likely do really well as a solo ferret whose family spoils him with kisses and a real cozy hammock, he would be suitable for a household with or without older children.
His best friend passed away a few months ago which he has struggled with a bit but he is slowly returning to his extra affectionate self! Unsure if he would accept a new friend.
He appears to have low sight abilities and he has adrenal disease which is being managed with monthly lupron injections, and melatonin every 4-6mo (Will need to carry on with this treatment for life). He is not a candidate for the Des implant. He had dental work done in the summer of 2022.
Bubbles is a 3.5-year-old marked, dark-eyed white who came to FRES at the start of 2024, who lives up to her name as an excitable little girl.
Since being in foster care, this little girl has adjusted beautifully and come out of her shell. She's learned what it is to be a ferret, to dook, to war dance and play, and to recognize that other ferrets are potential friends. Her biting has all but disappeared, though she can still nip. She loves to dig in her rice box, play and stash her stuffed toys that crinkle, and chase her foster mom and dad around the house and up and down the stairs.
She's working on her bathroom habit while free run, as well as her manners as she's a little girl who loves to play a little rough, and nipping is still common. When excited she will jump at her foster family, leaping in the air to tag a calf muscle or back of the leg; she will occasionally nip the tops of bare feet.
Bubbles recently had one of her canines extracted for a broken tooth, which has healed well and doesn't affect her at all. She was also recently diagnosed with adrenal disease and is currently on monthly lupron.
A little love bug once she gets to know you, she doesn't cuddle yet, but will give kisses once she trust you and you trust her not to nip.
Bubbles requires a home and family who can be loving and patient with her play time nips and continue her required medical needs for her adrenal diagnoses. She is not recommended for a family with children, though she has shown some interest in other ferrets and may be a potential playmate for the right someone.
Poppy is an adventurous 5 year old dark eyed white with a black smattering (marked white) who came to FRES in 2023. She loves to climb and "stash" toys (her stash points are more like piles in small open areas!) and occasionally try to jump, but these are failures at best.This sassy girl is partially blind, but doesn't let that slow her down; in fact, it gives her avery unique look as she has the biggest eyes!
She loves to just be around and will often come sit or stand between our feet; this can be dangerous for her as she also moves like a ghost and is super silent. We've had to adapt to her and have learned to look down before moving. While not behavioural, Poppy will nip pretty hard at play time if she wants to try and drag you or roll your hand like a ferret. She doesn't pierce skin, but those jaws are powerful! She enjoys roughhousing with her foster dad and war dances and dooks when he does.
Given the opportunity, she would eat paper, cardboard and pee pads, so her owner needs to be very diligent with her environment. She loves her AllerG-3 oil and is currently under care for adrenal disease and insulinoma (monthly Lupron and high-concentration Pred). She will not eat freeze-dried duck, chicken or beef liver, eggs or any other straight protein and doesn't seem to recognize them as food.
She's a loving little girl who has yet to bond with any potential friends, despite attempts to do so, as she had just lost her cage mate before coming to FRES.
Poppy requires a home that is experienced with ferrets, specifically one that understands the special needs of a ferret with her meducal conditions as well as a family who can be loving and patient with her play time nips.
She is not recommended for a family with children or other animals.

Shadow came to FRES early in 2022 at 4.5 years old. Shadow had a cage mate who passed away later in 2022 so now she is alone.
Shadow is fine being a single ferret and would probably never be comfortable to be with another ferret again. Shadow is a gentle girl and loves to explore her surroundings. As she gets older her energy is limited and she just prefers to have less time with her humans and more time sleeping.
Shadow needs plenty of TLC and just gentle interaction. Her favorite treat is freeze dried chicken and she enjoys this in abundance. She likes the larger pieces of her freeze dried chicken and sneaks away to eat them in a secluded place so there is not chance of anyone else taking them away from her.
Shadow appreciates a calm and caring retirement home where she can continue to live out her life with gentle loving care. Shadow does have adrenal disease and receives the deslorelin implant to control her symptoms every 7 to 9 months and also a thorough vet exam every 6 to 9 months.
