- On Tuesday, a cat named Rasha underwent surgery at the Homeward Animal Shelter in Fargo to remove 28 hair ties from her stomach, addressing a severe blockage.

- In addition to the hair ties, surgeons removed several pieces of rubber and a toy ball, with the total surgery cost amounting to $1,915.
- Despite the dangerous buildup, Rasha was eating and moving normally, illustrating how cats often hide pain; the shelter is using her recovery to warn pet owners about keeping small items away.
