I'm Donating My Birthday to Charity!

Every year, my friends and family try to decide what to give me for my birthday and while I always appreciate the gifts and the fact that they are thinking of me, this year I want to do something special. Volunteering and donating to charity is my passion and the ferrets need our help more than I need gifts. 45 is a milestone birthday and it would mean so much to me to inspire people to donate to charity for my 45th birthday.

Update: 45 came and went, as did 46, but I still ask for donations for my birthday. Thanks to all of you that gave to charity for my birthday, or asked for donations for charities on your own birthdays.

I'm Donating My Birthday to Charity
Facebook makes it easy to donate your birthday to charity. I have decided to donate my 45th birthday to charity and I am encouraging everyone to make a donation to Ferrets Unlimited rather than giving me a gift. I was 45 on July 14, 2009.

Create a Charity Lens For My Birthday

I know money is tight for everyone, so the easiest way for you to give me a wonderful gift for my birthday is to create a charity lens!

Please consider creating a new lens, on the topic of your choice, and changing the royalty settings to donate at least a portion of the proceeds to Ferrets Unlimited, or the charity of your choice.

Creating a charity lens means that your lens has the potential to make a donation every month, without costing you a penny.

About Ferrets Unlimited

Ferrets Unlimited has been rescuing ferrets since approximately 1993.

They have rescued a large number of ferrets over the years. Some loved, some abused, some from homes where the former owner had no clue on care, but purchased the animal on impulse. Ferrets Unlimited is dedicated to finding loving, caring homes for every ferret.

They turn no ferret away, no matter the health, age, or lack of training. Medical needs are met, and manners are taught.

Ferrets Unlimited believes that educating the potential pet owner is one of the most crucial things a rescue organization can do. This applies to both ferret rescues and other animal organizations. An educated pet owner can provide a safer, happier, and healthier environment for their pet, thus making both the pet and themselves a good match.

I began volunteering at Ferrets Unlimited in 2002, when the former shelter director was diagnosed with cancer.

I serve as webmaster and public relations director and have fostered and adopted a number of ferrets over the years. Working with these animals changed my life and animal rescue has become a major focus of my time and energy.

In 2008, the director of Ferrets Unlimited moved out of state so the other board members and I decided to work to keep the rescue going. We formed a new ferret rescue that operates as a foster home network, assuring that each ferret we rescue is placed in a special foster home where they can receive one on one care and attention. This allows us to meet their social and healthcare needs before they are matched with their new family and placed in their forever homes. Ferrets Unlimited Rescue Services has been very successful rescuing and placing ferrets into loving, caring homes. We hope to continue to do so for many years to come.
