This is from a Facebook page. I'm not sure if the link will work, but here it is: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... =1&theater

Jasmine is suspected of having degenerative neuropathy, and is missing teeth due to severe dental disease. She sounds like a real little doll, though!

I fear she will be PTS if someone does not step up right away. If anyone can even make a connection with a rescue in the area or a group of transporters, please call the shelter and let them know it is being worked on. I hate living in Alaska, where I feel helpless to do anything but make Internet posts. I wish I could help transport or foster these babies.

Jasmine was adopted from ACC about a year ago, and was surrendered back to us yesterday. She has recently lost the use of her back legs, and her owners can no longer afford to care for her. Our vet suspects that Jasmine is suffering from Degenerative Neuropathy. Despite her condition, Jasmine is a very sweet girl who craves attention. She will chirp, purr and head butt as long as you are willing to pet her! Jasmine will require follow-up vet care and a patient home experienced in dealing with special needs animals.

I've seen the site that you have posted here, poor girl. How I wish that I could fly her here in California, she truly needs love and someone to take care of her; I have a dog that got a hip dysplasia when he was a pup, it was not that easy for me to see him crawling at the floor to get to one place to another, thankfully, the vet gave him a medicine for bone (like a calcium) which helped him a lot and now he is walking.
