Friends, thank you so much for helping us see inside the disease and act with precision!

Thanks to your support, we were able to pay for laboratory tests (PCR and ELISA) for our charges. Now every newcomer, every suspicious cat, and every patient before being sent to a family receives accurate diagnostics.

PCR and ELISA are not just words. They are answers to the most important questions: does the cat have leukemia, immunodeficiency, herpesvirus, calicivirus. Without these tests, we work blindly. With them, we know exactly how to treat, whom to isolate, and whom we can safely send to a new home.

You gave us the ability to see the invisible. Thank you for understanding that behind every test lies someone's properly chosen treatment and someone's saved life. And most importantly — safety for all 500 cats living at the shelter.

Thank you for helping us be accurate, fast, and reliable.

About the campaign

Help us pay for the shelter cats' tests!

Friends, every animal that arrives at the "Devoted Heart" shelter undergoes mandatory diagnostics. Without it, we don't know exactly what the newcomer is sick with, how to treat them, or whether they are safe for the other 500 cats. We send tests to a professional veterinary laboratory. These are PCR and ELISA — tests that accurately detect viruses and infections: — feline leukemia (FeLV); — immunodeficiency (FIV); — herpesvirus; — calicivirus; — and other dangerous diseases. Each test costs money. Every newcomer gets tested. We also retest suspicious cats, monitor treatment progress, and test animals before they go to their new homes. The costs add up quickly. But without these tests, the shelter cannot function. They are our main tool to: — treat sick animals properly; — protect healthy ones from infection; — ensure we don't send cats with hidden infections into families. We are raising funds to cover the cost of laboratory tests (PCR and ELISA) for the shelter cats. Please help us continue to diagnose accurately and on time. Each test means properly prescribed treatment for someone, a saved life for someone, and a safe future for someone in a new home.
