Taxpayer, Marigold’s story is the #1 animal rescue of
2024 — and you made it happen.

Marigold spent nearly 13 years (!) in a laboratory. Then, our founder adopted
her after White Coat Waste shut down NIH-funded cat experiments.

I was honored to witness Marigold’s remarkable rescue myself.

Please see this must-read Dodo article all about it. See how YOU gave an abused
lab cat her very first birthday party.

You Give. We Win. They Survive.

— they’re slaughtered and incinerated. You can do your part: sign and share our new petition

After White Coat Waste successfully closed down a kitten testing lab at the
University of California, Davis, including its decades-old breeding colony, the
remaining cats needed to be adopted out to loving homes. Anthony Bellotti,
president and founder of White Coat Waste, decided he wanted to be one of those
homes.

“After my organization shut down the lab, I was determined to adopt one of the cats , ” Bellotti told The Dodo. “Petite, one of my other rescued lab cats, had
recently passed away … So, I had a choice to make when picking a new pet. But,
as the saying goes, ‘You don't choose the cat, they choose you.’”

Bellotti met the rescued lab cats and loved them all, but there was one who
imprinted on him immediately, and he knew she was meant to be his. The sweet orange cat had spent her entire life, 12 years and 10 months, living
at the lab and had even been experimented on at times. She was extremely nervous, underweight and refusing to eat when she was first
rescued. Her entire life had been nothing but hardship — but when she met
Bellotti, she knew things were about to change.

For her whole life, the cat had only been known as #11-245, a number which was tattooed inside both
of her ears. Bellotti knew she deserved better and gave her her very first name: Marigold.

“Her name reflects her unique color, which looks a lot like the marigold
flower,” Bellotti said.

Even after only a few months in her new home, Marigold already knows her name.
She’s absolutely thriving with her new family and couldn’t be happier, and has
loved experiencing so many firsts in such a short amount of time.

“Marigold is doing amazing,” Bellotti said. “She is healthy and she has gained
back all her weight. In fact, she's now food-crazy and constantly demanding
treats! We just celebrated her 13th birthday — her very first one outside of the
laboratory. Our family even threw her a little birthday party , which included her first KitNipBox.”

Marigold’s favorite things now include cat nip toys and making biscuits. Her days at the lab are far beyond her, and she’s thrilled to have her very
first — and last — family, who love her more than anything.
