Fostering Cats: One of the Biggest Lies of the Industry
Stats are hard to come by on the matter, but we have seen people reporting anywhere from 62% to 90% foster failure rates. And you know what? That’s not surprising whatsoever.
If you know anything about cat people, it’s that we are weak for cats. A cat showing us affection for even one second means that they will have our hearts for a lifetime.
If we already decide to foster a cat, bring them into our home, and give them love, of course it only makes sense that we might end up adopting instead. Oftentimes, we fool ourselves into thinking that we won’t get attached, but in many stories, it’s obvious that adoption is inevitable.
When you spend so much time and effort to rescue a momma cat and her babies—and then bring those adorable kittens into a house with very friendly dogs—it’s just a matter of time before you accept your fate as a cat owner.
Foster failure? More like foster destiny. And honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
