Who we are and what we do
The VI FERT Story:
Started in Nov 2015, VI FERT has a simple mission and simple goals: provide care and find homes for surrendered ferrets as well as offer education and support services to the public regarding the treatment and care of ferrets.
Originally an island wide network of volunteers who love ferrets we have started taking on an coordinating members in the lower mainland, who currently lack their own ferret rescue group. Members of VI FERT rescue ferrets as required, take in ferrets who are no longer wanted for various reasons and care for these ferrets in their homes, providing them with a safe place to live, love, attention, proper nutrition and veterinary care.
​
Whenever possible, ferrets are adopted out to caring, educated, FUREVER homes. The adoption process involves an application, interview and home inspection. The home inspection can be done virtually and is intended to help point out areas where you may encounter issues with ferrets.
Adoption fees vary depending on age, special needs and number of ferrets adopted.
If you wish to become a foster home, volunteer with fundraising, or support VI FERT in any way, please send us a message. We would love to have you join our team!
