Welcome!
Triangle Ferret Lovers of North Carolina is a club directed to
educating prospective
and current owners about the domesticated ferret. We strive to find homes for the 'not so privileged' ferrets that exist in
the world today and help the other shelters and rescues by hosting fundraiser's.
You can find more information about
the benefits of becoming a member; as well as, what you can do to help us help others by browsing our site! Feel free
to join us on our forum or in our
Yahoo! Group, meeting us at events
and at our club meetings. We look forward to meeting you!
Thank you,
TriFL
News & Updates
Lupron Time!
It's that time of year again! The time for the beloved ferrets to have their spring hormone surge! That means they are due for their annual lupron shots sometime between January and March. Please see this flyer for more information! You may also visit the Adrenal Disease page or the Medical Index - both are located in the left menu - for more information regarding Adrenal Disease in ferrets.
2009 Santa Paws VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
If anyone will volunteer to take the lead on TriFL's biggest fund-raiser for Ferret Guardian Recue Haven ($500+ in 2008!), I will contact the PetsMart locations to secure sites and dates for us in September.
We also need Santa and Elf volunteers if TriFL wants to participate!
If you have yet to participate in this super fun event, here's how it works:
PetsMart provides the digital camera, the color printer, the paper, the holiday picture frames, the promotion, and setting for Santa's Elves to photograph PetsMart customers and their pets with Santa Claws!
That means, TriFL provides a Santa and several Elves to participate from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM on each Saturday and Sunday in December.
The customer pays PetsMart $10 for one photo and frame - and PetMart donates $5 to the group participating.
TriFL has been participating in this event for at least six years and we are the only group to have the elves dress in costumes, and bring extra costume items for the pets to wear in the photos.
Another super extra "freebie" has been Ken Nyren's taking additional fantastic digital photos that he then downloads to TriFL's website for folks to download - to make holiday cards, print copies for themselves, or just to enjoy!
Last year, Jill Brumley was kind enough to bring her laptop, editing software, and printer and provided extra photos to our customers!
I have an elf costume available for any volunteer to use and several pet costume items, too.
Please let's have someone volunteer to head up this event, and I will do everything I can to coordinate the schedule of Santas and Elves beforehand.
Thanks very much!
