The GCFA hosts this fun-filled party to thank all our members, friends and all our volunteers for everything you do throughout the year. The shelter exists because of the generosity of each and every one of you.

All your ferrets are invited. We will have some fun, ferret games - tube races, paper bag escape, and kissing contest. Last but not least, start thinking about how to dress your ferret for our costume contest!

We will have the GCFA’s fabulous raffle of wonderful ferret items, plus some great items for human creatures too.

There will be a potluck luncheon. If you like, please bring your favorite, yummy food items to share. GCFA will supply refreshments.

There will also be a wide variety of ferrety items for your shopping pleasure. You must have something under the tree for your ferrets!!!!

Please remember, your ferrets must be current on distemper vaccine to attend the party.

Hope to see you there!!!

We are on the Ferret Giving Tree! 🎄 Trees 32 & 33, but you can also follow this link to find all of our ferrets on our shelter page:
https://ferretgivingtree.com/showshelter.php?ShelterID=42

The giving tree is a way to virtually “adopt” one of our ferrets. Currently we have about 60 ferrets at the shelter. 20 of our long-term and older residents have been featured on the website.

You can send a gift either for the shelter in general or more personalized for your ferret, which we’ll make sure to send home with them when they get adopted! 🎁
