Minky is a very special rescued mink, believed to be an escapee from a fur farm. She was initially rescued by a ferret shelter, and is now being taken care of by someone who also did research before agreeing to accept her, and who also had experience rescuing ferrets. We do not recommend mink as pets. Depending on where you live, it could also be illegal. Mink are NOT domesticated. Their behavior is unpredictable. They could, without meaning to, hurt someone.

That said, Minky's caretaker is graciously sharing her day to day life with the rest of us. Ferret owners are inherently curious about their cousins. This is a wonderful chance to see what they are like. And needless to say, a wonderful life for Minky herself.

Minky does not interact with ferrets (tho she appears to want to, her social skills are suspect...) She has a swimming pool, and lots of toys to play with. She also has many things to climb in, on, under or through to keep her busy.
