British Federation of Ferret Welfare's
The BRITISH FEDERATION OF FERRET WELFARE'S is a
working co-operative, unlike any other ferret organization, as it is
specifically formed by and for the benefit of Ferret Welfares and Rescues
only. The Federations welfare aims are to assist and advise upon the following:
- The setting-up of approved Welfares & Rescues
- The rescuing of sick, injured or abandoned ferrets
whenever reasonably possible
- The administration of basic ferret first-aid and
general nursing care (TLC)
- The practise of good ferret husbandry through the
provision of correct housing, feeding and general
hygiene routines
- The practice of good ferret healthcare - including
the provision of adequate veterinary care and
vaccination etc
- To ensure that a ferret is allowed to act naturally
and to express its own character as a ferret without
being demeaned and degraded
- The adoption of a NO BREEDING RULE - particularly to
so called 'Show Standards'
- Ensuring the safe rehoming of Welfare ferrets through
compliance with the BFFW 'ADOPT-A-FERRET' scheme
No matter whether an animal is a worker, a rescue or a
pet (even those who are occasionally entered into shows - just for fun)
we believe that:
A FERRET, IS A FERRET, IS A FERRET
We are concerned only with the Ferrets general welfare.
