Welcome!

PEWTER holds the position as "Assistant Care Taker of the Shelter".

The Ferret Villa Shelter, Inc. is a residential shelter located in Northern Kentucky in the Greater Cincinnati area. You will find us listed with the American Ferret Association and Support Our Shelters Organization. Transportation of ferrets is another activity provided. Cindy serves as a board member of F.E.R.R.E.T. (Ferret, Emergency, Response, Rescue & Evacuation Team), as well as other ferret groups and organizations.

We opened our doors in 2003 to assist other shelters that were overcrowded. As time went on we began to work with Kenton County Animal Shelter, which is a kill shelter in picking up any ferret that is turned into their Shelter. Our goals are simple: To prevent ferrets from being unnecessarily euthanized in county animal shelters. Ferrets are accepted from county shelters and private individuals. Our mission is to serve ferrets by finding them a loving, safe, happy and permanent home.

Over the course of the last few years, due to the down turn in the economy, some ferrets with extreme health concerns have been surrendered to our Shelter. In the Spring our Shelter was hit with the H1N1 virus which created a dire need for intensive veterinary care. Even though the H1N1 virus is gone, the majority of these fees remain, leaving an enormous vet bill which continues to grow as our ferrets are seen on a regular basis as well. If you are able to help by donating to the shelter, please click on the donate now button and know that it is greatly appreciated.

At the present time we do not have any ferrets available for adoption but we are going to post a link to our Adoption Application    Download our Adoption Application! as we never know when our situation changes.

With that being said, we are referring any requests for those looking to adopt to a terrific shelter. ANN'S FERRET SHELTER & ADOPTION INC. 501c3   Here is the link to learn more about this shelter & adoption. http://annsferretshelter.9f.com/index.html

As our operation became known our population began to increase and we saw the need to create funds to support excellent vet care, clean and comfortable housing, nutritional support and above all, lots of love and attention. Our first creation to help meet this need was the "Ferret Tower of Fun", which continues to be a very popular item. You will learn more about this and other unique products within this web site.

100% of all proceeds go to benefit our ferrets' medical needs, vet bills, food, & supplies here at the "The Ferret Villa Shelter."
