The Educated Ferret Association is an organization of people who own and or care deeply about the welfare of domesticated ferrets. Our purpose is to educate ourselves, and the public about the domestic ferret and it's care, ensuring as much as possible the health and well being of all ferrets through practicing and promoting proper care and treatment.
The Educated Ferret Association is a 501 c3 Not For Profit Organization.
Explore and have a look around, we hope that you like what you see.
Consider becoming a Member of our Club.
We are the ONLY Ferret Club in Western Mass.
Membership is very easy and very affordable. You get lots of benefits as a member ... Discounts on Food, Bedding, Toys, Health products that we sell at the Shelter. We have Picnics, Project Get Togethers and Christmas Parties. We get together and do Education at such places as: PETCO, Dave's Soda and Pet Food, as well as other local animal Shelters that have also started taking in ferrets (Dakin and TJ O'Conner).
We also do Education for Girl and Boy Scout Groups, Libraries, Schools, Etc. and are always looking for our members to volunteer to help out.
Do you have a son or daughter that would like to get a ferret? Are you yourself considering getting one? Learn about their care BEFORE purchasing or adopting one!
Join our group and you/they can volunteer with taking care of the ferrets at the Shelter and at our Education Days at local establishments to see if a ferret is right for them.
Consider becoming a Foster Home to a displaced Ferret and see what the day to day care involves before giving one a forever home with you.
Taking on the responsibility of having a ferret , or ANY animal, own you .. let's face it, they own us and not the other way around, LOL, is a LIFETIME COMMITMENT ... THEIR'S!! And if you take on that commitment, you need to be prepared for EVERYTHING .. in sickness and in health for their entire life.
EDUCATION IS THE KEY AND WHAT WE DEDICATE OURSELVES TO!
We also offer FREE classes on Ferret Care at the Shelter.
We have some NEW and Exciting things planned for our members this coming year, so watch for the Updates!
