Final Update on Amazing Grace’s Story.

I brought you the heart-wrenching story of Grace back in March when she was rescued from the hallway of an apartment building.

This amazing little girl survived for twenty-one days before she earned her wings to fly free from pain. In those twenty-one days, Amazing Grace touched the hearts of people all over the world of all ages.

I must clarify that the rescue that I named as the one helping Amazing Grace the Washington Metro Area Ferret Outreach (WMAFO) only took in Grace it was the caring Claudia of Oxford Ferret Rescue that took care of Grace 24/7.

It was hoped that justice would be served but it now looks like that will not happen. The Animal Investigator went to the apartment building where Grace was supposedly found and talked to the manager there and to the apartment occupants who have never had an animal verified by the management and the officer.

Further investigation revealed that the name and address given by the person turning Grace over to the WMAFO were false.

This information now makes everyone involved believe it was Grace’s true owner that brought her in and unfortunately that means the leads are cold and Grace’s murder will not be brought to justice.

Have a Chittering Good Day,

Amazing Grace

 

 

I first told you about a tiny ferret named Grace March 24th and have been updating you with her progress. It was with high hopes that she would have made it past the abuse she had suffered.

This amazing girl wrapped her paws around the hearts of ferret lovers around the world and held on for dear life. Grace improved each day by gaining a little weight, started eating on her own and acting like a ferret.

Unfortunately, the abuse she suffered from her previous owner was just too much for that little body to overcome. Grace had an eye issue that just was not responding to treatment and then she ended up with something called megasophagus meaning that her throat started to swell and she couldn’t eat on her own anymore.

After twenty-one days of fighting Grace has lost her fight earning her wings and is free from anymore suffering. It is us left behind that continue to suffer as she has left a tiny paw print on our hearts and lingering need on our souls.

I am angry that someone thought to starve this beautiful little girl and then left her to die alone and at this time I don’t know if that person has even been identified. I can only hope that there is a special hell waiting for them in the afterlife.

Even if they are caught, they may only face a few years in jail and a fine for Grace’s murder. I suppose I should be glad that there is jail time for the level of cruelty Grace suffered here in the US in many other countries there are no such laws.

Dook In Peace little one.

Jo and the 3Ms

Justice for Grace.

For my regular readers you know I don’t often post about those evil people who abuse animals but when I do it is because one of them has grabbed a heart string and plucked it making it sing out in need.

Grace is one of those that has plucked more than just my heart string among us ferret lovers. I first saw a picture of Grace when it was posted on the Washington Metro Area Ferret Outreach’s Facebook page.

She is one of the lucky ones as she was abandoned in an apartment building hallway and animal control was called who in turn called the Outreach who knew exactly where to take her for the best medical care she could get.

An investigation has been opened to find Grace’s owner so that charges can be brought against him or her. There is no way this happened in a few days

and I hate to think about how she managed to survive this long.

If you would like to help Amazing Grace you can donate to the Chadwell Animal Hospital - 443-512-8338 VET INFO or send it to PayPal account steph@wmafo.org and add a note that says for Grace.

Another way to help is to bid on some amazing items from the Ferret Fabulous Finds Auction House 10% is donated to a weekly ferret shelter from all of the artists who have items listed and I am proud to be one of those artists with my unique ferret clothing and I will be donating between 15% and 100% depending on the item sold.

If you live in the Washington D.C. Area and recognize this little girl or might know who abandoned this sweet soul please call your local animal control with the information. This little girl did nothing to deserve this abuse.

Have a Chittering Good Day,
