Presenting the International Ferret Congress - A
Earlier this year, the (in?)famous Shirley Hewitt announced the long-awaited opening of the IFC sister chapter, IFCA - International Ferret Congress Australia.
YAY!!! About time we got something in this corner of the world!!
Their new site is still under-construction, but she has announced that they plan to have their first IFC event in 2008.
I don't know about you, but I can't wait to peek into her ferret resort she foolishly calls her home. ^.^

A New Site Dedicated to Ferret Research: Ferret Knots
Ferret Knots is group of interested people looking to apply maths in the quest to find solutions to the problems of veterinary science. Historically, a majority of applied mathematics has been used to study human aliments; we wish now to turn our focus to other equally worthy endeavors - our companion animals.

Our goal is to provide a better quality of life for animal companions, specifically Mustela putorius furo - the domesticated ferret - through advances in disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment.



Thanks for being patient during the move and upgrades. Stay-tuned for more exciting information. The JFA has its National Spring Championship in April!
