Also dry food keeps longer, has less wastage and does not attract flys.

Yes, as both cats and ferrets are carnivores it is likely that a ferret would be able to get some benefit from cat food.

A ferret-specific food might be a better choice; or if that is prohibitively expensive, look for an "all-natural" cat food that may have more of the original nutrients from the meat products.
