Vari-Kennels sizes 300 to 500, Hill's A/D prescription diet, towels, sleep
sacks. If you are able to donate to Trish's vet bill, please make out the check to Dr. Kendrick but send it to Judith White, 1236 Belfield Avenue, Drexel Hill, PA 19026-4211. I will forward it. 1998 was a record year for the most adoptions!! We are very pleased. We've helped some with surgeries and other medical treatments. We've worked with some "troubled children" and gotten them to a point where they have learned to trust humans again, and to accept love from humans. It's taken time, but they've made great strides, and the most fearful of the group just gave me kisses for the first time! What an incredible feeling! More fuzzy work has gone on than I can tell here. Unfortunately, we've incurred some expenses that have cut into the shelter budget. We've also taken in a record number of ferrets who need special medications. Vet bills are in the $600-$700 range. I am working as many hours as possible, but there are only so many hours in the day. What the shelter needs most are donations to help provide for the ferrets and sponsors to help those needing special care & meds. If you'd like to meet our kids needing sponsors, and some of our other kids, check out our NEW WEBSITE http://www.ferretsfirst.com/start.htm. Sponsor kits are free to anyone interested in sponsoring or who wish to know more about what a sponsor does. We are greatly indebted to our webmaster, Jonathan Michaels, for generously donating this site for our shelter. He loves the fuzzies, too! Special thanks to our current sponsors and donors!

| Total pets in Shelter (specify species): 7 guinea pigs (Currently - there have been as many as 26 at one time; this past May we had 22) and 1 hedgehog Adoptable pets: 7 GPs Sick pets: 0 Needing Vaccines: 0 Being Sponsored: 0 Adopted since last update: 10 Unpaid Vet Bills: $0 Permanent Residents: 1 hedgehog (plus our own pets, of course) Being Rehabilitated: 0 Needing Surgery: 0 Recent Deaths: 1 (1 guinea pig, who had been taken to the vet several days previously, and who perked up, started eating and drinking, etc. for several days, then suddenly collapsed.) |
Taken In since last update: * new listing. We
took in, and found homes for, over 50 guinea pigs in 2000, and over 40 so far in 2001. GPRA gets the darndest calls from the city animal pound about small exotic animals, so we have also occasionally had as many as 5 hedgehogs and 5 parakeets as well as guinea pigs. Our current rescued hedgehog is missing an ear, and no one wants to adopt a one- eared, adult hedgehog, so he's a permanent resident. Unpaid Shelter Bills: 0 (We run this out of our house; the bills can't go unpaid!) |
| What we need most: stick-on vinyl floor tiles to cover a 15’
x 15’ room; the old sheet vinyl is getting pretty ratty, pardon
the pun, and we need to refloor with something easy to sweep, mop, and vacuum, and safe to let the piggies run around on and accidentally pee on .We can always use: guinea pig food with stabilized vitamin C (Oxbow Hay is our preferred brand); timothy hay (Oxbow); ferret tubes and ferret balls (the piggies love them!); wooden bird chew toys with bells- the sizes for cockatiels and lovebirds. For example, XTC Colored Pine & Plastic Star Toy, 7 1/2"Star-shaped plastic pony beads and pine sticks for parakeets & cockatiels, from petsmart.com, is a favorite of guinea pigs- they love chewing on the wood and making the bell ring. |
