Welcome to the internet home of Texico Ferret Rescue. We have now been in quiet operation for 7 years and open to the public since late 2009. Please feel free to browse our pages to learn more about TFR and our goals.

Note: At this time we do have several older ferrets for adoption, of all sizes and colors. You can call ahead and check availability before you complete an adoption application.

Read this part carefully:

If you are interested in adopting a ferret, please fill out and return the adoption application. Once we have the completed application, we will schedule a face to face meeting to discuss what you are looking for in a ferret or ferret(s). Additionally, a $50 dollar per ferret adoption fee is required.

Download the adoption application by clicking here!

The file is in Adobe PDF format. It will open in your browser, and you can then print the file directly–or you can save a copy directly to your computer. If you require a WORD document, let us know and one will be emailed out in .doc or .rtf format.

You can return the application by mail or email. If you have problems opening the document, call or email us with your contact information and we will snail mail a printed application. This application is similar to the one used by Sandance Sanctuary for Cats. Once we have your application, we will be in touch to schedule your home visit. NOTE: An incomplete application will be thrown away.

Once you are approved for adoption, it is simply a matter of waiting until ferret(s) matching the criteria on your application become available, which is a catch as can basis. We never know when or where the ferrets are coming from, but they always arrive sooner or later. And they need loving homes to go to.

You are not required to pay the fee until your new ferret(s) have been delivered safely into your care. The fee helps defray the cost of running the shelter.

Check out our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page for more information on how the process works.

Active military may board their ferrets for free during TDY or vacation.
