Mission Statement

The Ferret Association of Connecticut focuses on the welfare of domestic ferrets. To improve their lives, we provide factual information, advocate for their protection and safe treatment, and support shelter efforts for lost or abandoned animals.

Among the activities designed to fulfill our mission, FACT:

  • Endorses responsible, humane guardianship;
  • Maintains a shelter which re-homes those adoptable and ensures lifetime care for special needs and elderly ferrets;
  • Publishes unbiased care, behavior and general healthcare information; and
  • Offers technical assistance to other shelters and organizations caring for companion ferrets.
FACT is approved by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501 (C) (3) tax-exempt organization and all donations are tax deductible to the extent provided by law. FACT's Federal Identification Number (EIN) is 061386567.

Platinum is Guidestar's highest recognition level for publicly disclosing financial and program results.

FACT is participant of the Combined Federal Campaign which allows us to accept payroll deductions from federal government and postal employees. Please use our CFC Code of 40910 to ensure your donations reach us.
