Fun for the entire ferret-loving family!


* Free Admission / parking - why, the entire day is free!  :)
* Silly Games and Contests for Ferrets and Folks!
* WeezilPen: Fun for the Critters ***
* Scrumptious Confections & Desserts for the hooman beans!
* Motor City Ferrets 2011 Raffle!
* Great Shopping at Miss Sophie's Weezily Wares Supply Shoppe!
* On-site Photo Studio for professional portraits of your critters!

*** Social ferrets are welcome to play with the gang and enter the contests and games. We'll have the WeezilPen (ferret-proof playpen chock full o' amusements) setup and ready to go for all of the weezil sort who wish to socialize. Please make sure your ferrets enjoy playing with others, are in  good health (playing with so many friends can really stress the aged or infirm), are up to date on their shots for Rabies & Distemper and are "safe" around people - in other words, no chompers as we'll have lots of kids around!  Please also bring a collar or harness for your critter (extras will be available at the Supply Shoppe for $3). If you're not sure what your critter might think of hanging out with so many friends, schedule a play date at the shelter or bring portable housing (fully equipped carrier or travel cage) for your critter(s) to hang out in during the day.  


Professional Pet Photos

Sue Aiken will be on hand with her backgrounds and photography skills and all are welcome to have their photos taken:  your ferrets, your pooches (remember social dogs are welcome at our Fest) or even hooman beans, with or without your critters!

This year's Fest will be held at the Play & Stay Pet Care Center, in Troy just west of John R, north off of 15 Mile Road.  

Please note:  The Center has two buildings, one at the front and one at the back of the lot.  Next to the front building is the parking lot you'll use - note the lot in the photo behind the trees, with cars parked at right.  The Fest will be held in the rear building, notice the dark area which is the entrance.  If the lot is full, simply head over to one of the other businesses on the street and park, as the shops surrounding the Center are closed on the weekends. If you have any trouble finding the place, call Shelter Mom Nanci (248.219.9023) or Shelter Dad Alex (734.693.4819).

The Fest is always a great event for ferret lovers, whether you bring your ferrets or not.  Either way we hope to see you there!
