Matulich began her involvement with ferrets at the Fort Worth Zoo in
Texas in 1978. As a volunteer, she brought ferrets to area schools,
nursing homes, and community events. She began expanding her knowledge
of ferrets not only through personal ferret ownership, but also
volunteering her time (and her ferrets' time) at University Veterinary
Teaching Hospitals.

Ferret
Lovers' Club of Texas and edited a monthly newsletter called
Ferret
Footnotes. She was active in ferret legalization activities, and
assisted in effort to legalize ferrets in Plano, Garland, and Fort
Worth, Texas. She also assisted with ferret rescue and shelter
activities, and trained animal control officers all over North Texas in
ferret issues. Erika has spoken at numerous humane societies animal
shelters to help educate employers and volunteers about the unique needs
of ferrets.
Erika also has written (and continues to write) numerous articles for
Fancy Publications in
Ferrets
magazine, Ferrets USA, Critters USA, and
Pet Product News.
She was named the Contributing Ferret Editor to Pets.com during its
entire existence and wrote over 100 ferret articles and items for the
