The British Federation of Ferret Welfares was formed in 1999 by Thorr Yngvisson and his late wife, Ingga. At that time there was no organisation devoted entirely to those who ran welfares and rescues.
It took a lot of hard work and effort to establish the BFFW but it eventually paid off and has now received recognition from both the RSPCA & PDSA. The BFFW have Branches throughout the UK.
