I doubt that you would find a shop that just sold ferrets. The biggest "pet shop" I know of is called "Mr. Guau Center" on C/ Aribau. (They do sell ferrets.) It is a small chain with stores in Barcelona Province. Unfortunately their website is only in castellano, despite the fact that the proprietor's first name is "Jaume".
Most who live here are bilingual. Even my partner, whose first language is Catalan, mixes the languages in conversations. So despite all the "language purity" you hear from politicians here, the reality is that most people on the street mix the two. If you go into a shop and say "bon dia" and the seller replies with "buenos días", you know to switch to castellano.
