22 Foster Fails Who Went From Stray To Stay

Hi, friends! We hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday Funday. As cat people, there's nothing we love more than a good ol' rescue story. What could be better than a tiny kitten in need finding a furrever home with the perfect parents? Right, nothing. This brings us to today's article which is dedicated to rescue stories but more specifically, foster fails. 

If you don't know this already, a foster failure is when a foster pet parent fails to fulfill their fostering obligations by adopting the pet themselves. Every time we hear about foster fail stories, we feel nothing but compassion and understanding. In many cases, fosterers form beautiful bonds with the cats and kittens they foster, causing them to completely fall in love. Once the bond is formed, the next logical step is to adopt the pet, duh. Have a look through this thread, there are tons of cute and fluffy cats… just saying.
