Barnaby and Bartholomew arrived in February at 1.5 years of age from the Cowlitz County Humane Society. They had been relinquished by their owners. They liked playing with other ferrets and should have been easy to find a home for, but Barnaby had bad manners and would play too rough with people, with lots of other choices for adoption, they were passed over again and again until they entered the middle-aged ferret category, making it even less likely that they would find a home. They are lucky to be in a foster home where they get a lot more attention than they would at the shelter.
