The Kansas City Ferret Hotline Association is Kansas City's
first and largest ferret halfway house. Our purpose
is to maintain a ferret rescue and adoption service
for lost or abandoned ferrets.
A Reminder About Licensure
Those of use who live in Kansas City MO. must
have our ferrets vaccinated for rabies and apply for a license.
The license will cost $7 if the ferret is spayed or neutered, more
if it is not. We are allowed to have up to 4 ferrets, in addition
to up to 4 cats or dogs, per household. We are told, but have still
not seen in writing, that those of use who have more than 4 ferrets
are "grand fathered" in and are not at risk for fine or ferret confiscation.
We are not allowed, however to replace "extra" ferrets that die.
If you live in Kansas City, MO. you can give Animal
Control a call, 816-513-9800, fill out an application, and pay for
a license.
I know of no other local municipalities that require
ferret licensure, but it would be wise to call the animal control
people in your area, maybe anonymously, and get information about
this.
Some communities do limit the number of ferrets
you are allowed to keep in your home, e.g. the last we heard Independence
allows five. Although you don't have to let anyone without a warrant
into your home to count your ferrets, you never know when they may
need to come in for some other reason, such as a fire.
