🐈‍⬛ CAT COURTESY POST! 😻

MEET Wasabi! This 100% Good Kitty was found by a good friend of Detroit Dog Rescue.
Sadly, Wasabi has FELV.

What’s FELV? It’s a (cat) contagious retrovirus that weakens a cat's immune system, making them susceptible to infections and cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. It spreads through direct contact with infected saliva, nasal secretions, or other body fluids, often through mutual grooming, sharing food and water bowls, or fighting. While FeLV can be fatal, vaccination and early detection through blood tests can help protect cats, and many infected cats can live long, healthy lives with proper care.

🐠 Wasabi needs a home with no other kitties.
He is the sweetest boy who loves snuggles and his people. Please, let’s help find Wasabi a home.

❤️If you have room in your home and heart please email our director at [email protected]

🚨SENIOR INTAKE

We need your help! Jasmine had a family, but sadly, her owner passed away. We were contacted by the outreach group Dog Aide, because Jasmine had nowhere to go.

Jasmine is a sweet senior and she’s been separated from every thing she knew. There was another dog in the home who found foster placement before we took Jasmine in. Now, we are determined to give her some normalcy back for the rest of her days.

Upon intake we found out Jasmine is thirteen, but we feel she’s more like eight or nine years old. She has great mobility and can even do stairs and hardwood floors. She’s calm and LOVES to sit with people and be reassured of her surroundings -we get that!

Jasmine has the best “bat ears” and brown eyes. She does have a mass on her leg and needs some medical care. Detroit Dog Rescue provides all medical care, supplies and food. We need someone to provide love and support.

Jasmine is on the smaller side and only about 40lbs with the best sugar muzzle. PLEASE, we are looking for a foster.

If you can foster please fill out an application at DetroitDogRescue.com

Want to help with Jasmine’s medical care? Please donate at DetroitDogRescue.com
All of the funds collected today will go towards Jasmine’s medical fund.
