found- white ferret
Sep. 22nd, 2007 10:37 pmFound- white male ferret with black eyes on School St in Somerville. Appears domesticated, about 3 years old, is friendly and doesn't mind being held. Has a tattoo showing he's from Marshall Farms. Here are a couple of pics. The little fellow's eyes are black- the red is because of the flash.
My friend, who has ferrets, has him right now and is taking care of him. From the looks, he's been outside at least a week.

However, I can recommend the MA Ferret Friends (http://www.maferrets.org/) as a good place for your friend to adopt from. They are in particular need at the moment as a large Ohio breeder just shut down and over 800 ferrets need to find homes.
Marshall Farms (where the ferret in question came from) breeds and sells many thousands of ferrets per year and they all have the same tattoo. Plus the major pet store chains they sell through don't record owner addresses, so it's a dead end there.
