The California Department of Fish and Game has authorized the California Domestic Ferret Association (CDFA) to rescue and relocate all domestic ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) impounded in the State of California to adoptive homes in Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Idaho, and Arizona.

All ferrets are placed by personality to matching animals with new owners - in other words, all ferrets are with owners complimenting their personalities. Never assume that a ferret is not adoptable for any reason. People who are unfamiliar with ferret behavior sometimes mistake fear or play for aggression and euthanize the animal under the impression they are unsuitable for adoption.

We offer fifteen years experience in dealing with and placing literally hundreds of ferrets, and all of the shelters affiliated with our organization are "no kill" shelters. We have more than enough people wanting to adopt right now - we even have homes that adopt geriatric ferrets and specialize in their care.

CDFA enforces a mandatory neuter/spay policy for all ferrets rescued and adopted. We do home inspections and follow-up on all of our adoptions. Our affiliated shelters have written policy to take back any ferrets where the original adoption does not work out for any reason.

Our goals are simple: to protect the lives of ferrets seized in California, educate the public, and legalize the domestic ferret as a companion animal in California.

CDFA rescue operations can be reached at (530) 873-4720 or our emergency pager at (510) 702-3105 - 24hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
