Monthly Sponsorship for Sam

This is for a monthly sponsorship of one of the rescue ferrets at Kindness Matters Ferret Rescue - Sam. 
(So, if you bid $6, you agree to send $6 a month to Debbie as a sponsor.) [Not an auction, a sponsorship.]
Sam is a tiny female that came in with advanced adrenal disease with 2/3 of her hair missing, very enlarged vulva and increased body temperature.  A woman posted her on Craigslist, saying Sam had been in heat for three months and probably needed to get to a vet and she didn't have time for her.  I responded to her posting urging her to get her in my hands asap in case she was in heat. I figured it was adrenal disease though and was correct. A week later, the lady finally contacted me to make arrangements for me to get Sam. We met at a vet's office where she works! In the two weeks she's been here, she's been sub-qued four times, apparently dehydrating from the increased body temperature.  She loves her soup and tries to steal soup from others if she doesn't get her's first! She loves vinyl toys and will haul a toy as big as herself down the hall. Sam will be a permanent resident unless just the right foster home can be found for her. She had successful adrenal surgery October 3rd, and is recovering nicely.

It's unknown how much he can actually see, but he managed to maneuver around without a problem.

Monthly Sponsorship for Striper

This is for a monthly sponsorship of one of the rescue ferrets at Ferret Business of Georgia - Striper.
(So, if you bid $5, you agree to send $5 a month to Juliana as a sponsor.)[Not an auction, a sponsorship.]
Poor Striper's hind-end doesn't work very well. It was assumed it was due to a traumatic accident, but has been learned he has an inoperable tumor growing around his spine. Despite his affliction, Striper, a/k/a Slider, is a happy & very active little guy. It's amazing to see how fast he "swims" around. The worst part is, as a result of his rear-end weakness, he is incontinent. There's a lot of bathing & cleaning up behind him. He has the most sunny personality. He is a joy to watch going through tubes & carrying all of his stuff around.
