Can I start a ferret rescue with out being a non profit org in Ky?



I really like ferrets and have 3 of my own. I know there is a rescue center in Louisville,Ky but none in Shelbyville. I was thinking about starting on in my home but really don’t want it to get big were I have to become a non profit business. I would charge a fee for rehomeing my new babies can I do this? Does anyone have any tips or comments? Thanks.

Consider contacting your local Humane Society to learn how you can apply for this permit/licence.

    Here are some examples for different regions:
