Birthday Card for an Abused Lab Cat
Sign Marigold's 14th Birthday Card
14 years. Nearly all of them in a laboratory.
Today we’re celebrating Marigold’s birthday.
Before she had a name, she had a number: #11-245 — tattooed in both ears.
Please add your name to Marigold's official birthday card.
Marigold (formerly Govt ID #11-245) spent nearly 13 years in an NIH-funded lab. After we shut it down, I adopted Marigold and gave her a home.
White Coat Waste launched a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) investigation and campaign to close Marigold’s lab. Dr. Fauci’s NIH department paid the Univ. of California, Davis, to abuse kittens:
- Two-month-old cats were locked alone in cages.
- UC Davis rammed tubes down each kitten’s throat.
- Force-fed them scrambled mouse brains.
- All were slaughtered.
Your tax bill? $419,000.

But two days after UC Davis received our FOIA request, it CANCELED the experiments!
Following our win, UC Davis also shuttered its cat breeding colony and retired the felines… including Marigold.
This is a big deal.
For decades, UC Davis maintained this colony. It supplied kittens for the nation’s worst experiments. Like NIH’s electro-shock tests at UC Irvine, the Smithsonian, and even the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs.
From FOIA to Freedom, you saved Marigold’s life. She went from lab cat to lap cat — and was adopted by me!
Please add your name to this special birthday card for Marigold. We’re proud to have her in the WCW family!
You Give. We Win. They Survive.
