Requirements for Placement

< Back to Application Procedure

While we will consider applications from all interested parties, PFH reserves the right to refuse purchase to anyone with whom we are not comfortable placing a kit/adult. Our primary goal is safe, knowledgeable forever homes for our ferrets. A kit is not ideal for everyone nor is every ferret right for every home. We will only place the right ferret in the right home.

We will not place a ferret to anyone who:

  • Is less than 21 years of age. We will, however, consider the application of a parent of a person under this age.
  • Does not have a good understanding of the needs of ferrets and the responsibility required for good ownership. We will be happy to help educate any applicant who wishes to become more knowledgeable, and we do encourage applicants to volunteer at a local shelter or ferretry for a period of time while learning more about ferrets.
  • Does not have the means to provide appropriate food, medical care, and attention to a ferret.
  • Wishes to purchase a ferret for any reason other than to be a cherished family pet. Ferrets adopted may not be used for any working purpose, such as hunting, nor will we adopt ferrets to be used as classroom pets, petting zoo animals, etc.
  • Is not willing to comply with all requirements presented in our placement contract. If you would like to review a copy of our placement contract, please contact me.

Once a ferret is placed from the PFH, we expect that the relationship between adoptive party and the ferretry will be ongoing. We ask for occasional updates, and we reserve the right to contact clients for follow-up purposes. This allows us not only to keep track of the ferrets that we have placed and therefore track and improve our lines, but also to provide an ongoing resource for the ferret owner to ask questions and continually learn more about ferrets.

Placement Fees

Placement fees vary with the individual being considered. All kits/adults are placed on pet only contracts. We do not place ferrets for breeding purposes. It is the responsibility of the new owner to have the ferret spayed or neutered by the agreed upon time frame unless otherwise stated in the placement contract. Averages costs for our ferrets ranges from $175-$250 depending on age and lineage.
