Welcome to Father Natures

My infinitely patient wife Evelyn (Mother Nature) and I started this Rescue after a trip to a local county shelter. We were heartbroken over the ferrets that were improperly cared for, not from neglect by any means but due to the lack of knowledge of ferrets needs. The amount of dogs and cats that these shelters receive is overwhelming. They do not have enough volunteers to dedicate the time to ferrets.

We have since met with all the local shelters in our area and the response was fantastic. They were eager to learn and are now aware of how to care for our little fuzzy friends for a short period of time. The shelters contact Father Natures upon receiving a surrendered or stray ferret and we normally have the little weasel to the vets and back to the rescue within 48 hours.

Our main goal at Father Natures is to find forever, loving and ferret savvy homes for these little creatures that have stolen our hearts. Even though each adopted ferret takes a little piece of our hearts when they leave, we only want what is best for them.

Although we are not a 501c nonprofit, we are a not for profit rescue. Unfortunately this means your donations are NOT tax deductable. The cost of obtaining 501c status is too high to consider right now and we would rather apply that money to our soaring vet bills and the comfort of our rescues. 100% of all funds are used for ferret healthcare and transportation.

We are members of the American Ferret Association, and The Metropolitan New York/New Jersey Ferret Welfare Society. We are listed on Petfinder, The New Jersey DEP Exotic Pet Rescue List, and Save Our Shelters with many other affiliates pending. At this time, we do not charge adoption fees, we do however accept donations to help provide the VERY BEST CARE for our little Fuzzbuts.
