Ferret Boarding

Going away on a vacation or taking a business trip? Concerned about finding someplace to board your ferrets that will understand the specific needs that ferrets require?

While many veterinary hospitals and pet boarding facilities are willing to board ferrets, this is not necessarily the best place for ferrets. Most multi-pet boarding facilities do not have safe areas in which your ferret can get some runtime daily, and likely, for the duration of his or her stay, your ferret will have to remain in a cage. Furthermore, most multi-pet boarding facilities are not specifically trained to understand the needs of ferrets and may not notice if something is not quite right with your ferret.

The Pennsylvania Ferret Club & Shelter offers short- and long-term boarding for ferrets at our main shelter location and also through club members who are screened and trained to care for your ferrets. Ferrets are given daily runtime, are fed the exact foods they receive at home, and are treated like personal pets, rather than temporary visitors. If your ferret receives daily medications, we can provide this as well on the exact schedule that your ferret requires them. And the best part: our rates are lower than most other boarding facilities and veterinary hospitals.

Depending on your location, we also have some club members who can provide in-house ferret care when you are away, visiting your home one or two times daily to care for your ferrets. To find out if you live in an area that we provide this service, contact us.

For boarding services at one of our branch locations, please contact us at least two weeks in advance of your reservation (emergency boarding is available if space permits) and we can provide a quote for you for boarding fees.
