Sian, the vet tech had enough sense to wait until I had a chance to
speak to her this morning about ferrety boy. It transpires that
ferrety boy had been dumped and had been collected by the RSPCA from
someones garden. He is apparently a red sable and has a name.....

I had to apologise to my Year 11 bottom set pupils because I had to
take a phone call about teh ferret in their science lesson. Kids being
kids, asked what the call was about, so I told them. I agreed that
they could name the ferret. He is now called FUNGUS.

They thought it hilarious that "Miss" has been suckered into yet
another waif/stray...

He'll be at the vets on Thursday, as the RSPCA have to collect him
from their boarding facility and deliver him back to the vets. He also
has to be neutered, which hopefully it seems the RSPCA are paying for.
I've also asked for him to be microchipped....

Thank you for the keep safe purrs - they've worked! I'll know more
when I get Fungus, but I will be staying on top of the situation too.

Woo hoo!  And could "Fungus" possibly become the classroom mascot?

Just what I was thinking.  A lot of our science teachers have animals
in the class room.  These include fish, turtles, rabbits, rodents,
snakes, tarantulas, and other ickies and oohies.  The only reason I
worked for one science teacher was the chance to pet his rabbit.
Fungus and his cage would give the students a good chance to learn
about ferrets and such and give Fungus a group of friends to hang out
with.  Something to toss at the head master if you have to ask
permission.

FUNGUS. Oh my.  You might have to get him a brother named MUNGUS. ;)

Happy to hear the purrs worked once again. I wish I didn't keep hearing bad
stories about the RSPCA.

As well as being authoritarian thugs obsessed with killing any
pets they get their hands on, they're liars.  They fundraise
extensively in Scotland, and *never* mention that NOT ONE
PENNY of the money they get will be spent here - the Scottish
equivalent is the SSPCA, and revenues are not shared between
them.

The SSPCA is no better from what I've heard, but at least they
aren't conning animal lovers in another country.

There's a Fungus among us! I'm so glad he was saved. The vet tech
deserves some praise for her part in saving the ferret. No doubt she has
seen many nice pets destroyed needlessly :-(

Whew!  Since I didn't read this yesterday, I read your first post, and
am desperately looking for an UPDATE label, going "The ferret, what
happened to the ferret????"  So glad to find out he's okay :-)
