    Call me an asshole if you’re so inclined, I’m not wishing someone a happy mother’s day because they have a pet.

      Fostering kittens involve getting up every 2-4 hours to feed a whole litter of cats for several weeks. Some volunteers take it upon themselves to do this for several litters a year because of animal abuse, abandonment, and neglect by shitty people.

      That’s more than some deadbeat parents have ever done.

      Not asking you to call them a mom, just asking you not to downplay the impact of animal care.
