Have you checked out
http://www.ferrethaven.org/? If they aren't close enough to you, you can scroll down on that first page and they have a small list of other ferret shelters in Virginia. You can also post on other ferret-specific forums, check local bulletin boards and papers, and things like Craigslist. There are always ferrets in need of homes! Kudos to you for wanting to adopt instead of buy.
