And for edification of those who didn't know about mammary cancer in shelter cats...

I learned just after I saw the tumor that female shelter cats who were not spayed earlier but only spayed when they were taken in by the shelter in mid-life have a much, much higher potential for developing breast cancer.

I did not know that about middle-aged female cats who hadn't been spayed. High risk for mammary cancer.

My sweet Kitty is so loving that I knew she had been a mama with babies. She lived with five other cats, and so it must have been a circus. Haha.
