POLICY AND GUIDELINE INFORMATION
Planned Ferrethood Ferretry maintains policies about our placements which are clearly outlined in our placement contract, which, if approved, you will be required to agree to and sign. The following questions will make you aware of some of our policies that we strictly enforce, so that you can make a sound decision about adoption from us. After each question below, please check "yes," "no," or "more information." If you check "more information" we will be happy to explain the policy fully to you or answer any questions you have.

We require that all adopters provide only a high-quality ferret or kitten food to any ferrets adopted from the PFCS. These foods cost more than grocery store-bought cat foods. Do you agree to feed at least two of these types of food?

Yes No More Information
We require that all adopters provide annual distemper and rabies vaccines to the ferret(s), and that each ferret be given an annual check0up by a ferret-knowledgable veterinarian. Will you adhere to this policy?

Yes No More Information
We require that when any adopted ferret reaches the age of four, and every year thereafter, at the ferret's annual check-up, that a CBC (complete blood count) and blood glucose test be administered. These tests can range from $50-$100. Do you agree to have these tests done?

Yes No More Information
The cost of medical treatment for ferrets can be costly, particularly in their older years. If your ferret(s) become ill, we require that any reasonable medical tests and procedures be performed, and that euthanasia NOT be elected as an alternative to treatment for financial reasons. Do you agree to provide all necessary care?

Yes No More Information
If for any reason you find that you are no longer able to provide a suitable home for any ferret that you adopt from us, or if the ferret(s) that you adopted from us require medical treatment that you cannot afford to provide, we REQUIRE that the ferret(s) be returned to us and that you will not give or sell the ferret(s) to anyone else. Will you adhere to this policy?

Yes No More Information
Please use the space below to tell us more about yourself, your household, your family, and/or your pets. Help us to get to know the family that our ferret(s) will become a part of! Perhaps tell us how you learned about ferrets, or why you like them. This portion of the application can oftentimes be the most determining factor in our adoption decision, so write as much as you like!



We know that this application is long and comprehensive. However, due to the importance we put on placing the right ferret in the right home, we do not feel that we can be thorough enough in our screening process. We thank you for your time in completing this application and we will contact you once it has been reviewed.

By submitting this application, you hereby certify that the information you have submitted in this application to be accurate and truthful. Please press SUBMIT only once. We will contact you once your application has been reviewed!
