I bought the ferret for my son, but it turns out I am allergic. It’s approximately 3 months old, is de-musked, has had its initial shots and is very personable. I have a crate, food, and bedding to go along with it. I checked with many orphanages in my area, but none accept pets due to possible children’s allergies. I would like it to go to a children’s facility or some sort of pet therapy program if possible.

Can only suggest you put up notices in your local vets and pet stores.
Seriously consider putting a decent price on it as the word free attracts the wrong people.
Maybe a city farm would be interested, they’re not an animal that is particularly good with strange people and strange places hence the reluctance of people looking after disadvantaged children.

Did you buy the Ferret from a pet store or did you adopt? If you adopted, make sure to get in touch with the shelter you rescued from…and if you DID NOT adopt - then I would get in contact with your local Ferret Rescue and they may be able to point you in the right direction…
I would also suggest calling some of the local schools in your area and see if any of them would be interested. If all else fails - put an ad on Craiglist in your area stating specifically what you would like and where you would like to re-home your ferret.
Good Luck!

Look up Millie Sanders on google. I think it;s ferret lovers rescue group she takes ferrets. I got mine from there.

Just give her to a ferret shelter. They are no kill shelters. Ferrets have to meet special qualifications to be a therapy pet and even then it is rare that they will be allowed. Here are some links with shelters. They will screen the possible owners so that they will go to good homes.

Check your local preschools, or run an ad in the paper or put it on craigslist.
