This is bad. Very, very bad. Kenna’s cystostomy port came out. Detached from her body. I have a call in to the vet in DC. I can’t afford another bill for her right now. This sucks. :(

Last night I went to Maymont’s Garden Glow in Richmond #RVA w/family. For 4 hours I didn’t think about politics, food insecurity, fundraising for the cats, bills, vet visits or fleas + cat flu. It was freaking glorious. S’mores, hot cocoa + laughter. Find your joy, always. It was cold + I loved it.

I think I just let go of my perfectionist tendencies and finished the @allthesecats.org and friends 2026 calendar!!! 👏 Off for a printer run now to see how it comes out.

My sweet girl (Kenna) does not feel good. Darn upper respiratory is nasty.

I worked a side job today + now I’m waiting on my kid who’s bringing me a birthday cake. ☺️ #cats

Thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday (Friday). I appreciate it. 🫶🏻

2) and buy her prescription food, meds. Five + ten $ donations help too. It’s exhausting to always fundraise/fight for her care but I have no choice. I love her + she deserves medical care. IDK what else to say. my.linkpod.site/allthesecats We are a 501c3 so legit nonprofit. Please share 🙏 #cats /

Sears has a TV commercial that says Spanberger is for they/them. As if that’s some kind of insult. #voteblue kick useless Youngkin + crazy Sears to the curb. @abigailspanberger.com bc #VAIsForLovers not haters. 🔵

I was just in the shower throwing myself a pity party. “Maybe baby Kenna should be w/someone w/more means” I thought. “Maybe I’m being selfish.” “How am I going to keep up her care?” I got dressed + saw this ⬇️
I love her w/all of my heart. I’m just tired. She belongs w/me no matter how hard it gets.

I recently had to throw away all of Kenna’s crinkle bags + I finally ordered her a new one. This one is a little pricey but is good quality, includes attached toys + is a good size.

She’s been having a blast with it. The wire opening is adjustable so it fits low riders. ☺️ #cats

POV: Your cat can only sleep when she’s touching you (esp when she doesn’t feel well). Baby Kenna…She’s always been a hand holder. 🥹 #catsofbluesky Part of the @allthesecats.org rescue family who’s earned a permanent place in my heart + soul. Medically complex but resilient as hell. #cats #RVA

By end of week, nonprofit will be out of $ + cat food. I’ve applied for grants, sent emails, done food drives. Everything has come to a halt this yr. *TY to those who do help. You know who you are.* ❤️ Not sure I can continue w/o miracle. 🙏 Going to rest w/Kenna whose tummy hurts @allthesecats.org

This guy was hanging out on back door. According to reverse image search, this is a Tulip Tree Beauty Moth active from March to October. It is seen as a symbol of change, encouraging ppl to embrace new beginnings + trust the process of personal growth. 👀 #RVA #photography #insects #nature #NowWhat

bit exhausted (side job yesterday, cat chores, Ghost to vet) but so grateful to wake up again this morning. I get to have this day + I know that’s a blessing. So thankful for all of you, too. Your photos, comments, kindness, fight for democracy, care for me + cats is a gift. I adore you crazy ppl.

Kenna got her stitches out BUT she has a SEVERE bladder infection that the doc thinks she’s had since cystostomy surgery bc she wasn’t on an antibiotic long enough. Lots of bacteria, blood, crystals, you name it. 😢 She’s now on an injectable that she’s not tx resistant to. Port IS doing 🧵 (con’t)

This is why several sellers are boycotting Etsy. Disgusting. Yet they apparently have a hate/discrimination policy.
