Debbie, the owner of the rescue, has such a genuine kind heart!!! Ive had the pleasure of adopting three ferrets from the rescue. The application to adopt may seem a bit much, however it is designed to be thorough and as educational as possible.. This keeps the ferrets best interest intact while making sure potential buyers are comfortable with the decision too! In addition, the rescue is well put together!! Normal pet stores dont show a fraction of the level of care that these ferrets receive.. Highly recommend❤️

This place is a wonderful and reliable adoption agency for ferrets! They do an amazing job at finding a new home for ferrets who come into their place and at this moment I am looking to adopting one from them. The lady in charge is wonderful and very knowledgeable about these mischievous cuties! HIGHLY recommend Kindness Matters Ferret Rescue for anyone who wishes to adopt a ferret!

Debbie has been so helpful all throughout my time having ferrets! She is incredibly knowledgeable and responsive to questions via email and Facebook. She cares for the ferrets above all else and does everything she can to equip you (whether youve adopted from her or from somewhere else) with the knowledge you need to be a great ferret parent. I wanted to adopt from her, however our timing didnt work out. Even though I rescued my ferrets from elsewhere she continues to be a great help and comfort to me knowing that shes always there for support. Her presence creates a sense of community here in Georgia that is much appreciated.

My son, who was 16 worked with this rescue to adopt a ferret. They were very informative and professional. In addition to screening him, they also involved me and made sure that I understood the needs of a ferret and the responsibilities of owning one. They do a fantastic job of educating the public and truly loving and caring for the ferrets in their care. We spent quite a bit of time at the rescue the day we went to adopt. We talked and discussed more in depth our situation and were matched perfectly with a precious baby named Casper. He has been with us for about 6 months now and we couldnt be happier!

Great place! They were very informative, and their shop had everything we needed!

Kindness Matters rocks!! The ferrets are so well taken care of & loved, all potential adopters go through a very thorough adoption process, and customer service is great. The owner is full of knowledge and assists so many ferrets and humans alike!! If you’re looking to adopt a ferret look no further!

Although I have never adopted from here, I love the vast wealth of knowledge she provides for everyone, the absolute passion and love you can see for the babies in her care, and her deep commitment in making sure ALL ferrets have a voice and are heard and cared for. Love, love, love this rescue.

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! They help improve and save lives! They care for and love ferrets until they are able to find them the properly equipped new forever home! Their business (ferrets) rooms are CLEAN and have so much to keep each baby happy and busy! This Rescue CARES And makes a positive difference!!

Debbie is the worlds #1 Ferret Mom for sure!Kindness Matters takes loving care of all ferrets and provides a fun and engaging home while searching for fostering parents.Volunteers are welcome too to help clean up and play with the ferrets :)

Ive adopted almost all my ferrets thru KMFR and they go above and beyond. They made sure to educate me on everything I could ever think on and matched me with a perfect furbaby every time. The rescue is always kept clean (which is so impressive because I only have a fraction of the ferrets they have and omg they poop everywhere) and they are always available to help.

I can not praise this rescue enough for what they did for my Sage when I adopted her. I have a more detail review of the events on the facebook page but without this rescue Sage would have possibly died. Without her guidance I wouldnt have Sage getting along with my other ferrets and this family wouldnt be whole. Thank you so much Kindness Matters!

The website was hard to navigate through and was curious if the information was up to date. Facebook page was much easier to grab information from.

Knowledgeable about the care of ferrets and actively working to save each one . Debbie at the rescue was flexible when we came early to an appointment. Was able to purchase some needed items for our ferret and found a beautiful little girl to foster until we are sure that she is a good fit for our home. Highly recommend !

My friends ferret was sick and he couldnt find a vet anywhere that would see them late on a Friday night. They cancelled their own plans to wait for us to drive 3 hours down there. Above and beyond.

So thankful that Debbie was able to help me find a friend for my ferret! She is amazing at what she does and really takes the time to help educate you about ferrets and their needs. I can’t recommend her enough!

I love Debbie, she’s so knowledgeable and was so kind to my Princess Leia and helped us pick out the perfect friend for her 🥰 will be back to get another friend soon!

This rescue is my favorite. Extremely educational and knowledgeable. Anyone looking into owning a ferret or needs a refresher on ferret care, supplies etc., needs to reach out to this rescue. Adopt, adopt, Adopt. Do not go to a pet store. Go here. This rescue is solely on ferrets. So many great things to describe there sadly is not enough room on this review to write it all out. There also needs to be more than 5 stars for how excellent it is. I will say I have adopted several ferrets and fostered from here. Excellence at its best.

I met Debbie about 7 years ago when I found her rescue online & took a ferret I rescued to find a potential playmate. The setup she has in her home for the ferrets is excellent. It allows for free roam, which is wonderful. The area is very clean & well maintained, especially for as many ferrets as she has at any given time. During my first visit, she helped me to decide that my ferret preferred to live without a playmate. I wasn’t very knowledgeable with ferrets back then, and she gave me great advice, sold me some extra supplies at a great price and showed me how to trim my ferret’s nails at no cost. She also offers melatonin implants done at the rescue, which is so convenient and helpful. I live a few hours from the rescue, but Debbie has always been just a message away and very willing to offer advice or answer questions. Overall, Kindness Matters is a wonderful organization with an owner who is dedicated to these ferrets with her whole heart and devotes all her energy to doing what’s best for each of them on a daily basis. Her adoption process is thorough and conducted with what is best for the ferrets as the #1 priority in every scenario. I don’t have experience with other ferret rescues, but I wouldn’t even consider going elsewhere. Adopt, don’t shop!

Debbie is one of the nicest people ive met!! She takes amazing care of her animals and makes sure they get to their forever homes safely!! Love her and her staff and the care she puts toward you and the animals.

We found the rescue after we had tried looking at pet stores and such, and Im so glad we decided to adopt through the rescue instead. It was extremely informative, and it enabled us to give the best and utmost care for our ferret. Its evident that they truly care about the well-being of all ferrets that come through the rescue. They are also very flexible with prices; they just want to ensure the ferrets care.

What a wonderful experience. My daughter and I went and visited/volunteered a few months ago. We personally have 2 ferrets and love them like family members. I do not know how this rescue does such a wonderful job. Upon entering it didn’t even smell like one ferret, much less 30. It was super clean and organized and the level of care is beyond amazing. Recommend anyone to adopt from this amazing facility.

I absolutely love KMFR (Kindness Matters Ferret Rescue) I got my ferret from their and I would recommend KMFR to any person that is interested in getting a ferret. Not only ferrets but anything you would possibly need to take care of your ferrets at a very good reasonable price, it does take a lot to take care of ferrets but if you are truly committed that is all that matters. It is amazing what this rescue has done for all these beautiful amazing ferrets I am truly amazed!!

I have visited and volunteered at Kindness Matters Ferret Rescue and what Debbie does for those little guys is amazing. The ferrets have more than enough room and they all seem content. I joked that my ferrets would love to vacation there (they seriously would)! The world is a much better place because of this rescue and the love the owner shows to each individual ferret. Thank you so much for all you do!

The woman who runs this place (Debbie) is a saint - she cares about all animals, not just ferrets!!! She understands that people have multiple aspects to their lives and she is very supportive of people adopting and fostering but understands when things happen. She supports the animal community in any way she can. SUPPORT THIS PLACE!!!

Kindness Matters Ferret Rescue - Its an amazing rescue, that serves the southeast region. Its run by volunteers, under a wonderful woman. Debbie truly has the heart of a rescuer. She not only cares for each ferret as expected, she goes above and beyond that level of care, providing those with special needs exactly what they need until their perfect forever home is found. She is always available to help ferret owners with advice or direction in care for their ferrets. Not only does she take care of so many furbabies, but educates the public as well. 💕 Kindness Matters Ferret Rescue.

We had to surrender our 2 beautiful ferrets and were so fortunate to find Debbie and Kindness Matters. From my first interaction she was always very helpful, professional and passionate about ferrets. We were very impressed with her home and the cleanliness. There was no odor at all. There are tons of things for them to play with. It was a hard decision to surrender, but felt they were in a wonderful place. One has already been adopted.

We have adopted 4 ferrets and are currently fostering 2 ferrets from KM rescue. Debbie is knowledgeable, loving and always willing to help you and your furbabies!

Debbie is extremely knowledgeable about ferrets and is always willing to teach and help. She was very kind to me when she dropped by my apartment to give my four ferrets microchips. The price was reasonable, but more importantly she did this during her time of grieving after a funeral. She definitely didnt need to do that then, but it means the world to me that she did. The name of the rescue is really what Debbie embodies.

I have been to this rescue numerous times over the past 4 years. We have 2 ferrets and are ALWAYS beyond impressed with how clean Debbie’s house is with 30+ ferrets. She is amazing! Always answering every question we have and more than willing to give advice and educate people about ferrets.

An excellent rescue and resource for ferrets! The ferrets are well cared for and adoptions are set up so that the ferrets are well matched to their forever homes. Please dont shop for ferrets and, if you are nearby, consider this rescue for your next (or first) ferret! As an adopter, Debbie will give you tons of resources about ferret health and will answer your questions after adoption to make sure your new baby has good care and is happy and healthy.

Super wonderful. The owner has given me so much advice and has never asked for a penny. Her knowledge is top notch and she cares so much and gives these ferrets the best care. I dont know how she does it. Rescues are such a blessing, and you can tell the owner puts her heart into it. Please consider adopting, volunteering, or donating.

I drove 3.5 hours to this rescue to adopt my first ferret a friend. After doing rescue work for years I can honestly say this place raises the bar on my animal adoption standards. All the necessary information on the ferrets I adopted was provided and the rescue followed up to make sure the transition was going smoothly. The education I received was priceless and is not something that can be found from a simple pet store employee. It is incredibly clean and the owner is extremely passionate about what she does. She truly loves every ferret that comes to the rescue and works tirelessly to provide the best life possible while in her care. Since then I was inspired by the rescues standards and have fostered several ferrets through them.

I am a veterinary technician and I have adopted two ferrets here, and let me tell you that this rescue is top notch. All of the animals are incredibly well cared for, and Debbie is an absolute saint. She is a wealth of information and knowledge on ferrets, the level of which can only be achieved from living and working with them for years and years. She goes above and beyond to take care of both ferret and people. Debbie and her rescue are truly amazing!

Debbie is great! She is very knowledgeable. The house is very clean, the ferrets free roam and have tons to do.Even with here own health problems, she puts the ferrets needs first.I highly recommend this rescue!

I happened upon their Facebook page shortly after I was given a ferret by a customer at my store, and knew immediately that I wanted to get another ferret for my new baby. We absolutely loved our visit,and do really help pick the right ferret for your current one.Rhe visit was also very informative, and welcoming. Theyre a huge inspiration and cant wait to be able to go back to adopt another baby.

The dedication to ferrets by this rescue is OUTSTANDING. The proprietor is very knowledgeable about every facet of ferrets & their care. I support many different rescues in my region but Kindness Matters Ferret Rescue is the ABSOLUTE BEST ... thank you so much for being an angel organization.

I had the pleasure of meeting Debbie and getting my first ferret from her around two years ago. The first time I met her I was blown away by her dedication to the animals. She helped me with my entire setup and sent me email after email of all the information I needed to keep my baby happy. She keeps detailed logs of everything for each ferret even when there are over 40+, including what foods they like, treats, toys, medicines, and any special care. The place was extremely clean and you’d never guess there are over 40 ferrets. You can’t even smell one. I appreciate this rescue more than anything and I’d encourage anyone interested in ferrets to visit here. She even has a store with everything you could need.

While I have not personally been to the Rescue, I have always been very pleased with the positive responses to anyone on Facebook. If I am ever in Georgia, I do plan on visiting and giving a hug for the great work done for ferrets. Ferrets are a challenge. I do believe this rescue does everything possible for a successful outcome with each one.

This is an amazing rescue ran by a wonderful person. She truly dedicates her life to the rescue, and makes sure the ferrets end up in wonderful homes. The ferrets are well cared for, and when you adopt you know that she has made sure the ferret is the right fit for your family!

This shelter is clean and well organized and the shelter mom goes above and beyond - not only for the rescues at her shelter, but also for anyone she sees who needs help saving a ferret! Ive seen her spend many hours putting together volunteer transports and other emergency efforts to save ferrets. Shes wonderful!

Visiting this rescue is always an educational and enjoyable experience. Debbie is 100% dedicated to the well being of ferrets. She manages to keep over 30 free roaming ferrets happy and healthy while maintaining a house that has NO ferret smell. As a ferret owner, I know she has to be working around the clock to be doing such a great job.

Fantastic rescue! The place is sooooo clean and fresh smelling. I have no idea how she does it with so many ferrets. I know how hard it is to keep up with my few pets! I’ve also bought pet supplies and a cage here for super reasonable prices. Great place to visit and volunteer at or buy supplies at!

Ms Debbie is very knowledgeable about the ferret, extremely helpful with understanding more about them as well.. It was a pleasure to be able to see so many ferrets together and watch them play with each other.. My children enjoyed it so much.. Thank you Debbie for allowing us to visit!!! The kids also thank you for the shirts

These are some pictures of the great time we had

This place and this person are truly amazing. Debbie has been such a blessing to us helping with our ferret and again with the adoption of another one from her rescue. The place is clean and I don’t even know how she manages to keep it from being smelly, but she does. I swear my two are smellier than her whole place, and I am clean! She truly cares with her whole heart and I’m so very thankful to her for all that she does for all the little sweet ferrets. She seems like a serious sort of person until you get to know her, but it’s just her seriousness about making sure the ferrets are getting the absolute best care possible. She has a heart of gold. I would recommend this place and her expert advice to anyone serious about getting a ferret.

Debbie runs a fantastic rescue. We have gotten all of our ferrets from her. She is super knowledgeable and has helped us through several hard times with our ferrets and provided much needed advice! She was on the phone with us when our last ferret Doodle passed away in my hands and was crying with us. She takes such good care of the ferrets and takes in so many in need. She is very thorough about making sure the ferrets get into good homes by doing home inspections, etc. This is the only ferret rescue will will go to! 💕

Debbie is amazing! She answered every question I had about adopting and introducing the new ferret to my other two. She is more knowledgeable about ferrets than any vet I have ever been to. The rescue itself is immaculate and all the ferrets are extremely well taken take of.

Very knowledgeable and really does care about making sure these animals go to good homes! Im happy that I found Debbie to help me find a good match in a ferret for a ferret I already have. She took the time to make sure that my baby was going to get along with whoever I decided to adopt. Gave my ferret a once over and gave me some advice on so many things! Would recommend 100x over if I could.

Debbie is one of the kindest, most knowledgeable ferret owner / shelters on the planet. I have known her for years.I support her when I can and would trust her with my lifeDont hesitate calling!!! ❤️

Hard working, truly passionate about rescuing and caring for ferrets others dont have the heart or committment to do on a daily basis. Its a massive amount of work and expense so their dedication is second to none. If youre looking for a reputable ferret rescue organization you can trust then Kindness Matters is that place.

This is a very well run, clean and safe environment for all of the ferrets being housed here. The ferrets are cage-free and closely monitored for behavior and physical issues. All of the ferrets appear healthy and happy and the owner is exceptionally knowledgeable and caring. I would highly recommend that anyone looking to adopt a ferret to contact this rescue before looking anywhere else!

These are Fantastic people that do a whole lot for ferrets. So thankful for people like them going out of their way to make a difference in these poor neglected innocent lives. I cant thank you enough for all you have done are doing and will continue to do. God bless💜

Amazing amazing rescue. I had to leave my ferrets with debbie. I was heart broken, but seeing how happy and clean the ferrets were made me feel more comfortable. She does amazing work! Thank you Debbie !

Kindness Matters is a great rescue. Debbie loves and cares for all the ferrets in her care. She makes sure they are placed in the best homes possible.

I just wanted to know how much is a ferret. And do you get a deal if you buy 2

This is a great rescue. Debbie has gave me advice on numerous occasions for my babies. She is an amazing person for all she does.

Excellent rescue specifically for ferrets. Good place for supplies and advice as well. Owner will do melatonin implants for a reasonable price. Volunteers always needed, no prior experience needed. Best of all is the quality time with adoptable ferrets!

Professional and knowledgeable. Everything you need to know about how to care for a ferret is provided to you. There should be more people like that who have gold heart and help ferrets no matter if is healthy or seriously Ill. Thank you

Amazing,compassionate...great place! The ferrets are loved greatly and place is kept in great condition. Definitely go if looking to adopt a.ferret.

Best rescue around!

This place is super clean . Easy service. Adoption process is simple and efficient do not be afraid to ask questions! These creatures are very well cared for here.

Debbie is so helpful and knowledgeable about ferrets. As a new ferret owner I contacted her with questions and she was very helpful and sent me a lot of wonderful information.

She a True Ferret Mom... Awesome Ferret Rescue. Without Ms. Debbie I would still be ignorant on the care and knowledge of ferrets.Thank you Ms. Debbie from Mary Jane and Edgar Allan Poe!

Whoever answered the phone was quite rude. Seemed like she couldnt be bothered. And the when I said okay thank you...she hung up. And yet kindness matters....sure ok.She was however very kind enough to talk through the issue with me. Understanding the circumstances now, I do apologize. Thank you for being so nice.

Got my ferrets from her all the way back in 2016 and I to this day continue to go to her for everything. Ms. Debby is extremely helpful and selfless so If you’re thinking about adopting a ferret I 100% recommend checking out Kindness Matters Ferret Rescue.

While I have never attended this facility personally, I have reached out for information several times. I live in Vermont and find this facitlity to be patient, kind, knowledgeable, and more than willing to help teach anyine willing to listen. Shes amazing and the work she does is an inspiration to myself and my 12 year old who one day hope to start her own rescue.

I looove the ferrets and the people are so nice definitely coming back!!

Great rescue! Very knowledgeable in taking care of ferrets. She even had me bring my ferret to her so she could take at look at him so I could know they real age of him and if she seen any signs of health issues.

I’m so glad there is such a trustworthy place to adopt ferrets as opposed to buying them from ferret farms. The lady who runs this rescue is so knowledgeable, and was more helpful with my ferret questions then my vet.

Amazing knowledge for ferrets! She helped me pick the perfect ferrets for my home and even gave me everything I needed to start off!

Ferrets rule

I wish more people would adopt their pets! Debbie is a wealth of information about ferrets and their care. She was kind enough to let us come volunteer, and hang out with the sweet ferrets.

This woman goes above and beyond to make sure ferrets are matched in the right homes! She is always helping so many ferrets and doing everything she can to insure a happy and healthy life for them!

Debbie has turned her home into a rescue, where she can rescue, nurture, heal these little lives tossed out by others. Very knowledgeable, very clean, and I would highly recommend.

This rescue is all about the Fuzzies. They care a great bit for all ferrets. It don’t matter if they young, old, in good health, I’m poor health or in bad health they care for them all. They treat all the animals with compassion and care the way everyone should.

The rescue is very well managed and the ferrets are happy and healthy. Any time I have a question I can always go to them for help and advice.

Debbie is very knowledgeable and works so hard to take care of these beautiful creatures. So little is known about ferrets and they have so much popularity...it seems there are 2-3 needing to be rescued every day. Its so depressing. Debbies always looking for a way to work with you and give you valuable information to ensure the health and happiness of your ferret(s). Humans are cool, but the priority is the ferret because they deserve better than theyve been handed & cant attain thatbon their own. If you need help taking care of or adotpting or rehoming, Kindness Matters Ferret Rescue is a great resource!

She has been so helpful and knowledgeable about my ferrets.

You are an angel for taking in all these sweet babies and finding them loving homes!

Very knowledgeable, i have gotten a ton of info on the dos and dont for my ferretts.

Awesome place. They help so many ferrets. 24-7 dedicated to the love and care of these lil guys. The world needs ALOT more ppl like them

Debbie shares her vast knowledge easily with new or previous owners. A real pleasure to work with!

Debbie really has a lot of knowledge when it comes to ferrets. She always makes time if you have any questions.

Ive adopted 7 ferrets, perma-fostered 1, and fostered several others from KMFR. Debbie is extremely knowledgable, offers services like melatonin implants at reasonable prices, and has a store where she sells food and gently used materials like bedding, bowls, toys, etc. Despite the crazy amount of ferrets at her house, it never smells, and is very clean. I also can’t tell you how many times Ive e-mailed or called with concerns or questions about my fuzzies, and always gotten a prompt response.

She really cares about her animals and makes sure they go to good homes. She gives them plenty of room to roam as well

Adopting animals is wonderful, but please do not bring your ferrets here instead of a vet. She will try to diagnose and treat animals for money despite being unlicensed, and this can be very dangerous for the animals.

So starting out I was inexperienced with ferrets but always wanted one. My other half on the other hand has had one previously and thought we would take the initiative to pick one out of our own. Now if u have no ferrets let me remind u what u are getting urself into. They are ALOT of upkeep and hard work. They have a natural scent that gives them the nickname stinky slinkies for a reason LOL but after u get informative advice from Deb and follow through good diet it can be balanced. We started off with 2 from her and fell in love to the point we went back and got 1 more. Even got so lucky to get a ferret nation cage for 135$. To most it sounds like alot but that folks is a steal and of course like anyone u just want the best for ur little guys. Now when u walk in there will be ferrets everywhere. They do free roam so u can see each personality of theres. These are not caged ferrets, they are not breeding ferrets, they are up for adoption to a good home and they are healthy. At times u may not always be able to have a full conversation with Deb because her hands are full and Im sure her job is more than rewarding. But what better way to get all ur answers than to set up an appointment and see everything for urself and what ur getting into. Its not gonna be easy at first but once u got a set up and routine for u, it gets easier. There will be occasional mishaps of missing socks and such Haha but promise u will love on ur fur babies anyways after. So overall outcome of my experience from before to after the boys have settled in I give the rescue 5 stars hands down. Yes u can start by reading negative comments or even positive ones before going..... or u can go see for urself and meet the new member to ur family. What do u have to lose?

After following this rescue very closely the owner is astounding. She keeps up with all of the maintenance and includes everyone in learning about the ways to care for our furry friends.

OMG that is so nice of her to rescue and give those farrets homes!❤️❤️

Two of our three babies came from Debbie and KMFR and we couldnt be happier! We also look to Debbie as a source of knowledge and advice as she is truly an expert!

Amazing job taking care of all those sweet babies!!!

Excellent place. Excellent lady. Thank you for all you do

Always impressed by the love and care given the ferrets at this treasure. Above and beyond.

Very nice woman who is doing an amazing thing taking in these little guys. If your getting a new ferret please rescue!

This is a privately owned and opperated non-profit organization that runs on donations only. it cost $90/quarterly to keep ferrets in good health and this woman deserves any help she can get. She is Amazing! Kindness really DOES matter and this woman demonstrates nothing but that in opening her home anf life to helping these defensless little loves who were left stranded in a world they dont know how to survive in alone. Please visit their facebook page and make a small donation for christmas. this woman is an angel of animals and saves lives on her own dime with a huge heart.

A true safe haven for ferrets.

The owner is very nice and extremely knowledgeable about ferrets.

Incredible hand-holding service, friendly, educational, step by step help on rehoming a ferret.

Just picked up 7 ferrets to take to Tn to get good homes. Yay.

Miss Debbie is awesome . A true heart for ferrets and the hoomans they own . She can answer question you can have about your own ferret as well as many ferrets there are available for fostering and permanent loving qhomes. The only rescue in Georgia that I stand behind .. shes very dependable and honest about wbats needed for her babies
