These Foster Fail Stories From The Online Community Will Leave You Feeling All Cushy And Smiley

Keep scrolling for the sweetest foster fail moments, and the cats that made it all happen.
1. My beautiful big ginger cat and one who has more white than others
"…another person said he was too ugly to adopt." This is the type of person that we just can't tolerate. If you adopt cats solely for their beauty, then respectfully, you don't deserve to own cats. Our only hope is that one day, people won't be so superficial and selfish.

That comment says more about the person than the cat.

We always say that adopting a cat is incredibly admirable. But adopting two or even more?! That's absolutely incredible! Not only did she adopt both babies, but she did it for selfless reasons. Roberta, we hope you know that you're an amazing human being, and we're so happy to have you as part of our community.
