Molly did great for her surgery today. They found a second mass and removed it as well, and also removed the lead pellet some asshole shot her with at some point. She is home with her foster mom resting now. We could still use help offsetting the cost of her procedure if folks can help/share.
Tomorrow, Molly, matriarch of a local colony and mom to at least one, and probably more, C4C graduates, goes in for surgery to remove a mammary tumor. We’re going to biopsy it, so we’ll be looking more at the high end of her estimate. If you’d like to help, linktr.ee/crits4cats has all the ways.

I wish Americans would understand that Democrats ignoring international law (and their own Leah law) and Republicans ignoring US law are not separate acts but intrinsically connected. You can't stop the latter while ignoring the former.

Why? Because they don't want to fight. They don't want to change their lives and live in the Senate chamber for weeks.
