Greater Chicago Ferret Association

About

The Greater Chicago Ferret Association (GCFA) is an educational, rescue and adoption organization. We have been supporting ferret owners as the only not-for-profit, no-kill shelter and club in Chicagoland for the past 30 years. Our goals are to spread the word about keeping ferrets as pets, and to care for neglected, abused and abandoned ferrets. In addition to offering resources and information about the care and needs of the domestic ferret, we shelter hundreds of these energetic, sociable animals each year while looking for loving families to bring them to their forever homes.

Adoption process

You must first fill out our online adoption application. The adoption committee will call back to schedule an appointment after your application has been reviewed. Our questions are an important step towards ensuring that the ferrets are placed in a loving, caring forever home. Our volunteer adoption staff will discuss ferret care, ferret illness, your adoption contract, fees and any additional information about the ferret you are about to take home. Plan on being at the shelter for more than an hour to complete your adoption. If you meet the GCFA's requirements and are interested in adopting a ferret, or two, or three, or even more, please fill out our online adoption application.
