Finding Homes For Lost Fuzzies
----We are currently not taking in any new surrenders at this time due to overcrowding. We want to make sure that the ferrets here have the adequate care they need. Please be careful when rehoming your ferrets as there are lots of scams going on with people using them as snake food or trading them in for other animals, items etc and will not give them the proper care. We suggest that when rehoming your ferret you should do a home check of the new residence and making sure the new home has proper ferret knowledge due to the ferrets getting stressed and sick due to missing their previous home and owners. This is particularly important with the older ferrets as they can will themselves to die due to depression. If you are in a desperate situation only please contact us and we can refer you to someone or somewhere that might be able to help you. We will also be happy to advise you on your options. ---- Kim 
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 ferret owners. Recently our local ferret rescue closed and we saw so many ferrets that needed our help. We say 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 wonderful little creatures.
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 a small donation fee 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.
