Application Procedure
Before you can take a ferret home from Planned Ferrethood (PFH),
you must go through our standard application procedure. Be forewarned
- this procedure is not a quick, simple process. We hope that
any applicant interested in adoption will understand our thorough
process. The ferrets in our care are our first responsibility
and we take placing them very seriously.
Our application procedure consists of four steps:
- Review our Requirements
for Placement. These requirements outline what we ask of
any prospective owner who wants to take home one of our kits.
Please do not apply until you have reviewed
this information.
- Submit an Application:
All interested parties must fill out a placement application.
This will help us to learn some basic information about the
applicant as well as provide contact information for the references
provided. Click here

- Telephone/e-mail Interview: Once your application has been
received and reviewed, we require a telephone/e-mail interview.
At this stage of the approval process, we try to learn more
about your knowledge and experience with ferrets, any prior
ferret ownership history, and about your home and lifestyle
so that we can determine if there may be a good match for you
at the shelter.
- Ferretry Visit: Each applicant is encouraged to visit the
ferretry to ensure that they are comfortable with PFH. Meeting
the parents, other relatives, and the kits available will give
prospective owners a good feel for what to expect. PFH does
not ship under any circumstances so new owners
will need to make at least one trip to the ferretry unless arrangements
can be made to pick the kit(s) up at an event we are attending.
