About

Who are we? What do we do?
We are an incorporated society, consisting of people who love and respect animals – particularly ferrets.

Our members live in many suburbs of Melbourne and in country towns throughout Victoria.

VFS members act as rescuers and carers, fund raisers educators/teachers and welfare officers.

We liaise with Ferret Societies in all Australian States, and have contact with ferret owners and researchers in Great Britain, Europe and America.

The aims of the Victorian Ferret Society are:

1.The welfare of Ferrets – to promote the correct care of ferrets.

2.To educate the general public in all facets of ferret husbandry.

3. To care for and re-home discarded, lost & unwanted ferrets & re-home those whose owners cannot be found.

4. To protect the working ferret.

5. To ensure that ferrets for sale are in a healthy condition at the time of sale.

6. To provide interactive venues for ferret owners & enthusiasts.

The Victorian Ferret Society meets on the 2nd Friday of each month (except January) at the Caulfield Scout Hall – Birch Street, Caulfield South from 7:30pm onwards – come along so you can meet and learn more about ferrets – all are welcome.

Ferret

Looking for love

Ferrets combine the best features of dogs and cats with some unique features of their own. Like cats, ferrets are small and quiet. And sleep for up to 20 hours a day. Like dogs, they are affectionate, playful, and enjoy human interaction. Each ferret has it's own unique personality. They are independent, yet enjoy being with people. Their mischievous and playful nature, retained well into old age, makes them entertaining companions. Ferrets will surprise and delight you with what they can do and learn. They respond to verbal and visual commands, and can even learn to do tricks. The ferrets that I adopt out are usually litter-box trained. A healthy, well-trained ferret should not bite. Like all pets, ferrets need to be taught what is acceptable behaviour. Ferrets do require plenty of exercise and human contact while they are awake and cannot be confined to a cage all of the time. Most ferrets are happiest in pairs or in small groups, especially young ferrets as they are quite demanding and not always a good choice for a first time ferret owner.
