Maxine
(Max for short) came to me through a co-worker. The co-worker
told me that his father, Jim Urganus, had found a ferret in a plastic
bag in a dumpster in an alleyway on the north side of Chicago,
Illinois. He found out from neighbors that a family had moved out and
did not want to take the ferret with them, so they threw it in the
dumpster. Mr. Urganus then took care of Max for about three weeks
while I learned everything I could about owning a ferret. I took Max
straight to a vet and she turned out to be very healthy. Max, along
with two other ferrets I have since adopted, have total freedom in my
condo. They have a lot of fun chasing each other and teasing my three
cats. Max, being a typical ferret, likes to steal any remote control
she finds plus anything else that she wants. She's taught me to be
more organized than I have ever been before. She also likes to wake me
up by nipping my toes under the covers. She is now a very happy
ferret. Her nickname is "Pycho fert", as she does the ferret
"dance of joy" so often. I found out that Mr. Urganus has
now adopted a dog he found as a stray. I wish there were more people
like him around. His single act of kindness helped three ferrets find
a good home with me and let me find out how much fun ferrets are to
own.
