Taxpayer, as you may have heard, Petite — my pet and hero
— has earned her wings.
My grief is softened by knowing how this brave animal testing survivor changed history
[[link removed]] and left the world a better place.
Sold for $695 to the U.S. government’s largest cat laboratory, Petite weighed
just 4.9 pounds. They named her ‘Lil Petite’ and tattooed #15KEY5 in each ear.

Watch Petite’s memorial video
For nearly five decades — inside our government and on the taxpayers’ dime — the
U.S. Dept. of Agriculture bred, killed, and burned kittens in a secretive $22.5
million toxoplasmosis research program.
Thousands of stray pets were rounded up from Chinese and foreign wet markets.
The victims were fed to lab kittens in cannibalism tests… just 30 minutes from
the White House.
Over 5,436 perished in USDA’s ‘Kitten Slaughterhouse.’

Petite was a breeder in this laboratory, Taxpayer.
On Apr 11, 2018 — less than 24 hours after White Coat Waste investigators discovered her — Petite weaned her first and only baby (govt ID #8072).
Within three months, her kitten would be “killed and incinerated.”

I hadn’t met Petite yet. But I was determined to save her.
WCW started a campaign.
CNN. Washington Post. Time. USA Today. BBC. We sued. We ran advertisements. ‘Kitten Lady’ joined her fight.
Lil Petite united a big tent coalition of Republicans and Democrats in Congress.
And… we won. WCW SHUT DOWN the fed’s top cat lab!

Slaughterhouse.

I was blessed to adopt Petite. Today, her big legacy is alive and well:
* COVID Origin Revealed. After following USDA’s foreign money trail for kitten cannibalism
experiments, our investigators asked: what else are we funding in China? In April 2020 — twelve months after closing Petite’s lab — WCW uncovered how U.S. taxpayers funded the Wuhan lab.
[[link removed]] It’s how the world learned NIH funded a likely lab leak.
* Cut Animal Tests in Russia. But Wuhan wasn’t alone. WCW exposed how NIH funded 353 more animal labs
across 57 foreign countries, including $770,00 to a Russian lab that forced
crippled cats to run on treadmills. Then, we united the GOP and President Biden
[[link removed]] to end it — the first time funding was cut for animal testing across an entire country.
* Closed the Fed’s #1 Cat Lab. Petite’s historic campaign ended the culture of losing. No other animal
protection group had shut down a federal feline lab in four decades!
* Ended Painful Cat Testing in U.S. Govt Labs. Petite’s was the first cat lab WCW shut down. But it wasn’t our last. Petite inspired WCW’s unprecedented five-year winning streak that closed
every other confirmed lab causing pain and distress to cats inside the U.S.
government.
* Gave Other Pets a 2nd Chance. Before Petite’s campaign, no federal agencies had policies to retire animals
as pets. They were killed and burned like trash . Now, dogs and cats have a second chance
[[link removed]] at NIH, FDA, Dept. of Defense, and Veterans Affairs labs.

Immortalized for the ages: Petite’s campaign included in Webster’s dictionary.

Despite a rough early life, Petite loved everyone.
She had a gigantic personality and a microscopic ‘meep’ for a meow. Petite loved
her KitNipBox. She loved Cat TV.
Petite even became something of a second mom, helping to foster orphaned and
homeless kittens my family took in over the years.
She was the sweetest pet I ever had.

Sign Petite’s memorial card
As you’ll see in her official memorial video
[[link removed]] , WCW closed Petite’s old “home.” But I gave her a new one.
Taxpayer, thank you for saving her life.
So, I hope you’ll watch it. Then, I hope you’ll sign Petite’s official memorial card
[[link removed]] and share it with every taxpayer and pet owner you know.
You Give. We Win. They Survive.

P.S. Taxpayer, this small cat leaves a giant hole in my
heart. But she also leaves the world a better place. As you’ll see here, Lil
Petite has earned a big pair of wings. Please watch her unbelievable but true story. Then, sign and share Petite’s memorial card
[[link removed]] to honor her legacy. Sincerely —AB
