Foster pawrents are the true unsung heroes of the cat community. They take cats in when no one else can and love them until they're ready to find their furrever home. In our opinion, they have the hardest job of all: to love, and then let go. The letting go is where we have our problem. Once we get attached to a cat, we can't pawssibly imagine giving them to someone else. They are also the ones that save cats that no one else wants, and they put in the effort to get them adoptable for other families looking fur the love of a feline.

Below, you'll find a cat who came to her foster family without the ability to walk. No one could figure out what was wrong with her. But they knew that love and patience go a long way with cats. They worked with her, and they started to see the beginnings of a meowracle. One day, she started to use her legs again. Then, slowly, she regained her ability to walk. Thanks to this family, she was able to find her furrever family. Another cat saved, and another good deed done in the name of love.

  • It's so incredibly frustrating when you know something is wrong, but no one can tell you what it is. Meowdicine has improved so much in the last 20 years that it seems almost unreal when doctors can't figure out what the problem is.

    antihemispherist Love it. One of my cat was found in a similar condition. As a stray, she had developed anemia, because of malnutrition and hunger. She is 13 now and very agile.

    and then she started walking!! @saavinglives
    via @saavinglives

  • She's doing it! She's walking! That's ameowzing. It must have been so much work, and so scary for both the pawrents and kitty. But they both wanted to get better, so she did. A little love and patience go a long way!

    JMandMM I love this! Many people and vets see the easiest and quickest way to move on from an injured cat, often euthanizing.

    Because they see them as expendable, but, given a chance, patience, love and caring, struggles can be overcame!
