FERT - Ferret Education & Research Trust

About FERT

The Ferret Education & Research
Trust is a UK national registered
charity which aims to promote the
care and welfare of the
domesticated ferret. It has strong
ties with various other ferret
organisations and welfares both
national and also those operating
in a local capacity.

It was our group intention to
establish a charitable cause that
would be able to support the
fundraising of other ferret welfares
around the UK and also to offer a
means to educate and inform the
public regarding the plight of this
hard working and much maligned
animal.

As we progressed through 2006 we
attended a number of national
shows including The Three
Counties Show at Malvern and also
The Town & Country Show at
Stoneleigh; both were amazingly
successful and we achieved our
aims in both fundraising and
education.

In September 2006, after the
success of the Town & Country
Show, the founders of FERT
decided to apply for registered
charitable status to further
establish its intentions to the public
and the ferret community.

On 22nd November 2006 FERT
was the first ferret charity within
the UK to be awarded registered
national status.
