They’re still not legal in California, but ferrets have found a potential friend in La Mesa.
The City Council on Tuesday unanimously agreed to consider a proclamation declaring La Mesa a “ferret-friendly city.”
As a part of a plan to undo what she considers a “ridiculous” ban on the animals, City Councilwoman Kristine Alessio has pledged to reach out to local legislators to ask for help to allow Californians to keep the animal as a pet.
Councilman Bill Baber also said he would push for a change in state law.

A subcommittee on the issue is looking into a proclamation by the city to officially deem La Mesa “ferret friendly,” which would cement the city’s statement on the animal being unfairly banned.
