***Urgent***
This feral kitty is in bad shape. Our veterinarian feels he has a good chance with amputation.

Black cat with leg bone showing. 💔 Urgent Help Needed for an Injured Feral Cat 💔 On Christmas Eve, Elainie reached out to us about a feral cat she had seen who was badly injured. Then the cat disappeared. Days passed, and she feared the worst. On Saturday, Elainie saw the cat again and immediately contacted us. Today, Sheila brought her a trap, and thanks to Elainie’s patience and care, the cat was safely trapped within about an hour. That alone is remarkable—and a testament to how much people in our community care about the animals on this island. This cat is in critical condition. They have lost part of a leg, and the bone is exposed. Tomorrow we are bringing them to Progressive Veterinary Hospital, hoping that amputation is possible and that we can give them a real chance to survive. If surgery can be done, we will also need a safe place for recovery—either continued veterinary care or a quiet home where the cat can heal in a large crate. We don’t yet know what the outcome will be. What we do know is that this cat deserves compassion, dignity, and every chance we can give. We are asking for help to cover: • Emergency veterinary care • Possible amputation surgery • Post-op care, medication, and recovery needs This is hopefully our last plea for funds before the new year, and all donations are tax-deductible. Every dollar truly matters, and every share helps. We are so deeply grateful for this community—for Elainie, for Sheila, and for everyone who looks out for animals who cannot ask for help themselves. Thank you for standing with us, and with this brave cat, when it matters most. 🐾💛 💔 Urgent Help Needed for an Injured Feral Cat 💔 On Christmas Eve, Elainie reached out to us about a feral cat she had seen who was badly injured.

Not all superheroes wear black vinyl catsuits! 🐈‍⬛
Huge thanks to Michelle & Raquel for trapping 36 cats for TNVR this week — and to the St. Croix Animal Welfare Center for the surgeries.
That’s $1,561 in lifesaving work made possible by your donations! 💚🎃

Today’s No Kings protest could be the largest single-day protest in U.S. history.

People have power.

Amazing turnout all across the USA! Drop your city, state, and total turnout in the comments below! Make sure your city’s counted! We’ve got thousands of coalition members helping verify numbers, but we want to double-check everything!

Poet Laureate Regie Gibson wowed 4,000 in Lexington, MA today! "Let them say...that this was the time that we struggled against fist and fallacy and of judges refusing to kangaroo their courts. And show that in America, the law is king."

Lexington Alarm! refers to the urgent messages that spread throughout the colonies following the battles of #Lexington and #Concord, mobilizing patriots and marking the transition from local warnings to a wider call for colonial #resistance against British authority.

We just wanted to keep you all updated estimates are now approaching 4 million. Incredible job pulling this off on a holiday weekend! It was tough to get accurate counts today because small towns showed up in force. Some states had record-breaking turnout we didn’t expect this includes

Today, on the very spot where the colonists said no to tyranny 250 years ago to start the American revolution, we stand again to protect what they fought and died for.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!

This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.

It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

It’s not too late to show up, many protests are still getting started, and we’re already over 2 million+. Today has been incredible. Small towns across America doubled or even tripled their turnout compared to 4/5. Way to go! We never expected these small towns to show up with this kind of force!
