I got my new baby ferret I named Beren a week ago. Per usual he hid under the furniture with the other ferrets. Then, I couldn't smell him around anymore. Thought maybe he was absorbing the older ferrets' scent. Then getting worried from not seeing him, I looked everywhere twice. I got out the vacuum out cause animals hate it so thought I could drive him out of hiding. Finally, broke down and put up a Missing Poster for him last night. And trauma getting it printed and need to toss this printer out. I read my social media after work to see the shelter down the street's entry pop up of a baby ferret that was available and quickly adopted. I wonder if that was my missing baby ferret. Naturally, the new owners probably wouldn't give up an animal they just adopted today so I have to assume my baby ferret I lost is gone forever from my home. I hope they take good care of him. He is a sweet baby and will be loved and missed. Go ahead and yell at me for losing a pet saying it serves me right for thinking he was hiding under the furniture. Nothing anyone says can make me hurt anymore than I already feel knowing I will never see my baby ferret again. I'm sorry Beren. I'm so sorry baby Beren I didn't realize you missing sooner.
PS. I received an email from the shelter that he was found the day after I got him during the rain storm. By location where he was found and where I live, it is very likely it was my baby ferret they just adopted out. They apologized they couldn't reunite us. I thanked them for their reply to add that I pray the new adoptive family takes good care of him and he will be missed.
PSS. I've been thinking through my tears that the shelter did care for him for 6 days so I decided to make a donation for his care. It is the least I can do for them.
