Adoption Process
You must first fill out our online adoption application.
The adoption committee will call back to schedule an appointment after your application has been reviewed.
Our questions are an important step towards ensuring that the ferrets are placed in a loving, caring forever home.
Our volunteer adoption staff will discuss ferret care, ferret illness, your adoption contract, fees and any additional information about the ferret you are about to take home.
Plan on being at the shelter for more than an hour to complete your adoption.
If you meet the GCFA's requirements and are interested in adopting a ferret, or two, or three, or even more, please fill out our online adoption application.
