The primary aim of this international group is to raise money for any ferret shelter in the world stricken by canine distemper (CD) and to support shelters in providing CD vaccinations to their at risk animals. This painful disease kills over 99% of infected ferrets and shelters are the most vulnerable for a variety of reasons. Join our Facebook group page - Xavier - A Ferret Abroad - to enjoy the
adventures of our traveling plush ferrets as they go from sponsoring foster "ferrant" to foster "ferrant" donor. However, we hope you will also support the effort financially by either an outright donation to the cause or, here’s the fun part, by “ferranting” a plushie yourself to visit you or your favorite ferret shelter. For a small, minimum donation of $8 USD or AUD or ₤5 BP or equivalent, you can have a cute plush ferret comes to visit you for week. We have a UK/European ferret, “Down Under/Pacific Rim” ferrets, and US/Canada/North American ferret traveling the world visiting folks as a fund-raiser. We want ferrets traveling the world and hope you will help make that happen! All donations are secure and held on behalf of the CD Fund with a registered US non-profit - the Ferret Association of Connecticut, Inc. When funds are granted, they will be sent directly to the shelter or to the attending veterinarian. Our various programs are described in detail within. We also will hold various fun benefit events and fund-raisers and maintain a facebook store where items sold benefit the fund as well.
