A very sad farewell to our precious Anastasia, one of the two ferrets that started it all here at Critter Camp. Our introduction to the wonderful world of carpet sharks was a spunky, petite, adorable little weasel & the best kisser! Her cousin Ferri is still with us, the old fella is slowing down quite a bit though, and he misses her a lot. Two and a half years ago the vet said she had only weeks to live due to various medical consitions. Our Ferret Keeper, Cassie, would have nothing of it! She hand fed, medicated and cared for Anastasia every day - through the night if needed (often she was strong enough to eat on her own too.) Her spirit is at the Rainbow Bridge with the rest of our passed critters, and her body lies at rest under a big apple tree on a lovely secluded property. Read about Anastasia's early life on the Life at Critter Camp page. |

Ferri 11-08 Ferri missed Anastasia in the months following her passing. Now he has joined her at the Bridge. |
12-08 MJ was a recent arrival here at Critter Camp. Her owner was deployed to Afghanistan, and left her with a relative to re-home. When the relative got tired of her he started to torment her - even shooting bb's at her to see her reaction! A visitor saw this and took her home, but they were worried that their dogs wanted to kill her and they knew they couldnt keep her. So they found us and she was happy and safe in the ferret room for her brief time here. She had advanced adrenal cancer, kidney disease and insulinoma. It is so sad that it was too late for effective treatment by the time she got to us. What a sad short life she had. We did the best we could to make her last weeks pain free and happy. |
