With thanks to our supporters Support Our Shelters has been able to sponsor Readiness exams and vaccinations for two of the 27 Canadian ferrets who after a very long drive arrived in Connecticut at FACT (Ferret Association of CT) from a breeder who had them and more ferrets in a neglectful situation. Half left for the WA Metro Area Ferret Outreach (WMAFO) shelter and the Monmouth County SPCA on Labor Day.
All the youngsters are being scheduled for their neuter surgeries during the month of September and will be ready soon for their own loving home. If you would like to check on a Sponsorship level or for more information, please click on the following link in the comments.

Support Our Shelters (S.O.S) has been a proud shelter distributor for Ferretonin Melatonin implants since 2006. In the past shelters could only order implants through S.O.S but for some time now shelters have been able to order direct through Melatek and now any ferret owner who needs an implant when their vet is having problems obtaining them from a veterinarian supplier can order direct also. Hopefully this will help even more ferrets.

Donors, if you would like to donate implants to a specific shelter, please reach out or if you like you may donate directly to the S.O.S Melatonin Implant fund and S.O.S will continue to help shelter ferrets as funds allow with your much appreciated help.

Special thanks to Melatek for allowing S.O.S to be the shelter distributor and allowing us to help countless ferrets with this program.

For over a decade our company is proud to be the sole source of FERRETONIN and DERMATONIN injectable melatonin implants.

Support Our Shelters would like to say thank you on this Tuesday to our supporters and donors with special thanks to Tanya at Fluffy Farms Ferret Sanctuary and everyone who donated to S.O.S and the Thor’s Legacy of Love: No Ferret Left Behind Fund.
S.O.S was able to donate Melatonin Implants to shelter ferrets in need with the funds and replenish the Implant fund to help others.
A special thanks go to Cathy R. for her donation which allowed Melatonin Implants to be sent to help ferrets at RFRL and to Ray W. who donated funds for implants sent to Fluffy Farms Ferret Sanctuary. Ray's donation was much appreciated as it was sent across the great pond. :)

⚡ Thor’s Legacy of Love: No Ferret Left Behind ⚡

Thor wasn’t supposed to survive.

He and his brother Loki were found abandoned in an apartment — left behind in a cage with no food and no water. We thought they were gone, but they weren’t. They fought. They held on and they made it.

Thor had surgery for his tumor, he coded twice, he shouldn't have survived, but he did. Thor has beat the odds so many times, but unfortunately this battle is one he won't win.

Thor is our big, beautiful gentle giant. He gives the sweetest kisses and has the softest heart. He is proof that even when they are left behind… they still choose love.❤️

We are launching Thor’s legacy of Love: No Ferret Left Behind.

All funds raised will go directly to Support Our Shelters , an incredible organization that supports ferret rescues across the United States. They provide assistance with supplies, melatonin implants, veterinary bills and their help goes wherever it’s needed. Not just one rescue. Not just one state. Every ferret matters.

Thor was once the ferret who was forgotten. Never again.

Let's do this! Let's fill more bowls, provide more medical care and save more babies.

If Thor’s story has ever touched your heart, please consider donating or sharing. Let’s turn his story into a promise for others.

Because no ferret should ever be left behind. ❤️⚡
