AFO's 1st shelter Award goes to 'FACT'

​allFerrets' Campaign to Support United States Ferret Shelters: 1st   Shelter Award Goes to 'FACT'

allFerrets® announces its program to support our US-based domestic ferret shelters. 

Our first award goes to The Ferret Association of Connecticut (FACT), in the amount of $100 cash. 

A few facts about FACT:

​FACT was started in 1991 by Ann and Vanessa Gruden in Hartford, CT, more than three decades ago. FACT shelters and adopts out ferrets. 

Since its inception FACT has cared for over 2300 ferrets.  Each month the staff responds to responds an average of 50 calls, emails and messages about ferrets and ferret care.  Due to limited space, this shelter/rescue focuses on ferrets found wandering outside and those with health issues.  

Recently FACT accepted several dozen ferrets from research laboratories. Lab ferrets require special care. Most were born in a cage setting with minimal if any 'creature comforts,' such as bedding, toys, and positive human interaction. Support includes learning to trust humans, and how to respond to life as a domestic pet. 

FACT is a 501c3 nonprofit organization recognized by the United States IRS.  Donations to FACT may be tax deductible for those who itemize.  For more information, visit the FACT website:  www.ferretassn.org .   

allFerrets® is 501c3 nonprofit educational organization.  AFO supports the ferret community.
