Help us pay for disease screening tests for homeless animals

A drop of blood, fifteen minutes — and the vet knows whether the furry patient has viral immunodeficiency, leukemia, or another infection that spreads among animals. Without this result, we can’t make the most important decisions: which kennel to place the new resident in, whether it’s safe to put them with the already rehabilitated animals, and whether supportive care is needed from day one. Rapid tests are performed immediately upon arrival. A single untested animal in the general ward poses a risk of infecting dozens of cats and dogs that veterinarians have already spent weeks treating. That’s why every animal is tested: those brought in from the street, those surrendered by residents, and those who arrived at the center after a traffic accident. Without these tests, it’s simply impossible to safely run a shelter for hundreds of dogs and cats. Please support the fundraiser for a batch of tests for the ‘Pitomets’ center. These are basic tests without which no treatment can begin.
