This week I was the one answering The Swedish Ferret Society's phone. Today's calls were like this: "This is the police in X. We've found a ferret, is there anyone that can come and take care of it?" "Well, phone either of these two people..." "My ferret seems ill, and my vet doesn't know what's wrong with her. Can you help me?" "Try one of these vets instead..." "I work too much, could you take care of my ferret?" "No, but the local chapter can help you find someone who'll adopt it."
