Nope -- I don't know if this law exists, but it CERTAINLY does not apply
to ferrets.

Note, however, that California law DOES require that the ferrets (or other
confiscated pets) be relocated to a foster home outside of California at the
owner's expense if the owner asks for it.

There is a group that is attempting to get the law against keeping ferrets
in California changed.  I will try to remember to bring in the info about
the group and post it (I left it at home).  This group will help with
finding foster homes for confiscated ferrets (the woman I talked to has
ferrets and a foster home, and has visiting rights and everything).  The
group will make sure to find homes that will allow the ferret to return to
the original owner should the law change (or the owner moves out-of-state).
