  • Ferret Food Chart
    FERRET FOOD CHART All Foods are given a ranking in points, and point ranges are divided into tiers. Green Tier: Excellent Foods that a ferret can thrive on.* These all have a minimum of 40% protein. Most of them are grain-free and provide a promise of at least 75% animal ingredients. Blue Tier: Solidly good foods. Most of them meet a ferret's basic requirements for protein and do so without using meat by-products. Orange Tier: A ferret could certainly live on these foods, but I would not personally expect them to thrive. I would recommend switching or mixing with a higher quality food. Red Tier: Foods that I would personally NOT consider to be suitable for a ferret. *note that Epigen cat/dog is an exception that has excellent protein levels, but does not contain enough fat for a ferret to thrive on (it is 11-12% fat) and is thus recommended as a treat or 'mixer' only.

  • Big Cat Rescue's
    Big Cat Rescue’s Meet JoJo A Caracal Lynx & African Serval Hybrid Cat 1 “Photo of JoJo in his JoJo Needed A New previous home.” Home – BigCatRescue.org JoJo Needed A New Home I first met JoJo, the Caracal / Serval hybrid, at the South Florida Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in 2005 after a hurricane had taken down the perimeter fencing and dumped piles of deadfall on the cages. The owner, Dirk Neugebohm, had ended up in the hospital with a heart attack from trying to clean the mess up by himself. 2 He wrote from what he thought was his deathbed back then to anyone and everyone he could think of asking for help; and asking for help was not something that came easily to this hardworking German. What we found, when Howard and I visited, was a man who was way in over his head. Donations were almost non existent, the cages were old, dilapidated, small and concrete floored. The tiger back then was Sinbad, who lived in what is commonly u s e d f o r h o u s i n g parrots, a corn crib oval cage with a metal roof. Sinbad died recently after a snake bite, leaving K r i s h n a , 3 pictured, as the only remaining tiger. Dirk managed to keep his sanctuary afloat, if just barely, for the next 8 years, but a couple days ago one of his volunteers, Vickie Saez, who we had been helping for the past couple of years with infrastructure and social networking, contacted us to say that Dirk was dying of brain cancer in the hospital and that she had convinced him to let the animals go to other homes.
