My name is Slinky and I am a domestic ferret. I am 4 years old. I am called the "miracle ferret" by my family because when I was out of my cage playing one day with my brother, Dinky, my family's dog decided she wanted to play with us but she was bigger and stronger than I was.

My family brought me to Bartram Trail and after spending a night in the loving care of the vet, I was nursed back to health and was able to go back home to my family. I am once again enjoying being in my three storey cage with my brother and getting to run around with my owners, chasing super balls around - with the dog outside!

Dinky took extra special care of his brother Slinky while he was recovering. He never left his side, curled around him while sleeping and even brought him food.
