Greater Chicago Ferret Association

The Greater Chicago Ferret Association, also known as the GCFA, is the sole no-kill ferret rescue servicing the Northeastern Illinois area since 1987. The GCFA does not receive federal, state or local tax dollars and relies on donations and fundraising activities. Since our inception, the GCFA and its volunteers who dedicate countless hours each year have rescued over 10,000 ferrets; the majority of which have been adopted or fostered out to their forever homes.
