This exactly! I’ve been thinking about this all day. Plus the compounded effect of DOGE looking for areas to make cuts (CDMRP LCRP??) I’m concerned we’re heading into a medical research winter. 😰

I’m just saying, this is a pretty happy cat house lol. There’s a lot of slow blinks happening all the time 🐱

They are all rescues, but Diesel was my only “foster fail” Scoop was literally rescued, by my mom, from a house where she and her siblings were locked inside alone for multiple days as tiny kittens with no food and their mother locked outside, terribly distraught. My mom broke into the house.
