Punta Gorda, a small historic town nestled on the shores of pristine Charlotte Harbor, a large estuary off the Gulf of Mexico, is one of the oldest incorporated cities in Florida.
Before you adopt a ferret, you should ask yourself âHow long do ferrets liveâ. Actually, you should ask yourself how long any pet you intend on caring for will live. The average ferret life span is 7 years. Thankfully, as vets and ferret owners learn more and more about fuzzies, the ferret life expectancy seems to be increasing. 9 to 10 year old fuzzies are no longer exceptions.
A strong genetic background for longevity can't be discounted. Given proper care, nutrition, and regular veterinary visits, a cat kept indoors can live as long as 21 years or more. (The average age of cats is 12-15 years) This is, of course, barring any serious medical conditions or untimely accidents.
