About the Shelter |

Opened
in the spring of 2000, Motor City Ferrets is a private-home, no-kill
shelter, rescue and respite home for ferrets. We are registered as
a Non-Profit Charity (501(c)(3)) and licensed and annually inspected
by the Michigan Department of Agriculture. Located in Hazel Park,
we serve the Detroit Metropolitan Area. Browse through our site to
learn about the Shelter, meet the critters up for adoption, get
health & care information, find supplies or locate a vet or

Shelter Stats as of 1 February:
We currently have 31 critters in the Shelter.
An
old man was walking along a beach after a particularly high and
violent tide had receded, leaving thousands of starfish stranded
above the waterline to die. Ahead of him he saw a youth, bending
down and then standing to fling something into the waves. Coming
closer, he saw the youth was tossing starfish back into the ocean
where they had a chance to live. "Why bother?" the old man told the
youth. "There are thousands here. You can't toss them all back
before they die. You can't even toss a small fraction of them back
in time. What you're doing doesn't matter."
The youth pondered that a moment, looking at the starfish he held in
his hand.
"It matters to
this one," he replied, and threw it back into the water. |
