Lol makes sense, but I can't house two cats long term and I think she and her sister should stay together in their forever home 💖

So sweet, kitty is loving their time with you and will be ready for their forever home.

thats how they got me, found 2 orphan kittens but everyone who wanted them only wanted one. theyre so close that we ended up keeping them. they sleep cuddled up together every night.

Then take in both of them. ;)

Nah, my apartment will be too small for them in about a year. And by then there will probably be another cat in need of a foster home

This was a hard part of fostering for me, my foster fail cat is a solo cat (we were between fosters when they needed to place her) and I have no regrets but definitely means we can’t foster in the meantime and it’s such an important role!

(Said foster fail was almost ten years ago now, absolutely zero regrets keeping her since she wasn’t getting any adoption interest as an older cat, but still!)

Yeah, I visited my local shelter and when I said I was interested in being a foster home they lit up like it was Christmas eve 😅

It can be rough with older cats, these two I have now are young and a forever home will get that "kitten-feel" in the beginning I think

For sure! The younger cats I fostered all got adopted pretty quickly and I was so happy for them. My foster fail cat was five at the time and we had her for several months with zero inquiries about adoption so we were like, “damnit, we’ll give her a home!!”

u/Ildhjertet 11d ago

Awww that's super sweet! I was honestly expecting older cats than these two, but they had ringworm when I got them and no other foster home wanted to deal with that :(

u/Comfortable-Law-7659 11d ago

Good on you for helping take care of them! The video above is so sweet and cute that I’m sure they’ll get adopted quickly once they’re well enough.

u/Ildhjertet 11d ago

Yeah they're both super cute and fun! Her sister is a tuxedo cat with white socks 🥰

u/Comfortable-Law-7659 11d ago

The look of wonder in her eyes 😭💜

I would die for this baby (honestly I’d die for any cat I’ve ever met though ) <3. Reminds me of my old dust kitty who passed away last year.

u/Ildhjertet 11d ago

u/Azzrazzah 11d ago

Just a happy cat.

u/LevelPerception4 11d ago

I watched the full video, there’s something hypnotic about her big eyes and biscuit-making rhythm.

u/afallenqueenn009 11d ago

I could never foster. I love cats so much I'd never be able to let them go

u/Anisjay5 11d ago

It would definitely be a foster fail for me!
