Finding Homes For Lost Fuzzies
Stinky Pete's Ferret Retreat is a small scale ferret rescue run out of a private home in Seminole County, Florida. Just ouside of Orlando by Kim and Ashley, who are both ferret owners. Recently our local ferret rescue closed and we saw so many ferrets that needed our help. We are not a shelter and think of ourselves as a halfway house for ferrets.
Too many ferrets are bought at pet stores by people who think they are cute, but don't understand what owning a ferret actually involves. A ferret is a lot of responsibility and requires a lot of time (a MINIMUM of four hours out of their cage a day) and they can get expensive very quickly. Please visit the websites under "links" to learn more about these fuzzy friends.
We, at Stinky Pete's, are committed to finding forever homes for ferrets who don't have one. All of the ferrets we rescue are given up to Seminole County Animal Services or are surrendered to us by private homes. We only ask for $50 for an adoption fee per ferret or $75 for a pair and are very strict about who we adopt out to because most of these ferrets have already been through several homes. Each home is screened thoroughly. All money made goes to vet bills and food. Click the "Happy Tails" link to see all of the ferrets who have found loving homes!!
If you would like to adopt from us, you should be ferret knowledgeable (ie. owning a ferret before). We also will not adopt out to families with children under the age of 8. If you are interested in adopting from us, please fill out the form listed on the adoption page.
This site is dedicated in memory of Kim's first ferret Petee.
The little fuzzy that started it all.
