If you are interested in adopting or just looking for information on ferrets, The Ferret Inn organizes adoption days. We set up a table with flyers and a play pen with ferrets. This is a great opportunity to learn something about ferrets, and to practice handling them. Please stop in and see us at the next adoption day!
Our Shelter is Full
Due to the influx of surrendered ferrets, our shelter is regrettably full and can no longer accept additional ferrets.

We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience.
Contact us
To contact us, please call the Director, Nancy Wilson at 410-531-4936, between 8:00am and 5:00pm, or email at ferretpassion@verizon.net. At this time, the shelter is at its capacity and is not accepting surrenders.
In an emergency, we are here to answer questions and provide assistance to the ferret community after hours as well.
Nancy has worked tirelessly to give these homeless ferrets a voice. When she first began the shelter in 1999 she was one person running the shelter by herself with no volunteers, no donations, and a large number of ferrets that were in need of immediate medical attention. Working on as little as three hours of sleep some nights, Nancy made it through that first year with the support of her wonderful husband, Tom. Now Nancy has a staff of dedicated volunteers. Through her tireless efforts Nancy has saved the lives of countless ferrets, proving the point that one person can make a difference!
