Could my foster be purebred Siamese?

She was pulled from a shelter where 16 (!!) kittens were set to be euthanized, only to be rescued by a local group, so they don't know anything about her. She looks the part, as far as I can tell, but she doesn't act like a Siamese at all.

The thing is, she was spayed earlier this week, and she is way too small to have been spayed already. She came to me with pretty low energy, and she is nowhere near as rambunctious as the two boys, but I don't know if that's because of the situation or if it's just how she is. She does like spending time with me.

Relatedly, I'm concerned she'll have health issues growing up, being spayed this young. :(

ME3 LE Insanity - why do Cerberus have no shields/ armor?

I seem to recall in my other ME3 playthroughs that Cerberus had shields on all their troops, including low-level, on insanity. And in ME2, almost all enemies had either/or. So I got to Mars and they're all just sporting health? I double checked and I'm definitely still on insanity.

Are there any emergency vets that do dental?

Cat can't close her mouth, is drooling everywhere, and we don't know what's wrong. I won't even bother asking about affordable care, we just need to get her seen ASAP.

Willing to travel, but I live on the northside.

Edit: We found a clinic that should be able to see her tomorrow for dental care. She isn't showing signs of anything other than tooth pain, and she is being monitored for anything else wrong. We will take her to the ER if she has any other issues that might indicate a different problem. In the meantime, we are giving her gabapentin for pain.

Thanks to the people who gave suggestions without judgment. "Is this worth an ER payment" seems like a pretty reasonable question to me. My mom was a vet tech and it's her cat, and I trust her judgment more than judgy randos on the internet.

Anyone else had adenovirus diagnosed lately?

My mother and I have been incredibly sick the last two weeks, with every symptom under the sun: fatigue, migraine, runny nose, cough, diarrhea, constipation, fever, chills, muscle aches, oddly specific back pain... and these seem to have happened in waves and in the same order for us both. The indescribable fatigue is the only thing that's been constant. Everything else was just one thing after another.

She tested negative for RSV, COVID, and flu at the ER. I assumed it was mono based on the symptoms. But today her doctor informed her it must be adenovirus (and wouldn't test for mono) because that's "going around Chicago."

So I just wanna know if anyone else has gotten this, or gotten really sick with virus-like symptoms lately. This has been worse than COVID for us, and we still haven't kicked it over two weeks later. In a big city like this, I feel like we would have heard of something this serious.
