I've been wrestling with these thoughts a lot lately. I wrote to Marley Fund to
see if they'd ever advocated for trials, but it sounds like it's outside of

I could totally get behind your Christmas Wish List. I rescued my first
FeLV+ kitten ten years ago. In that decade, there seems to be little to no
