Fostering Cats: One of the Biggest Lies in the Industry
Stats are hard to come by, but reports suggest that foster failure rates range anywhere from 62% to 90%. Honestly, if you know anything about cat people, these numbers aren’t surprising at all. We’re simply weak for cats.
For many of us, a cat showing affection for even one second is enough to win our hearts for a lifetime. So, when you decide to foster a cat—bringing them into your home and showering them with love—it only makes sense that you end up adopting instead.
We often fool ourselves into thinking, “I won’t adopt, I’m just fostering.” Yet, in so many stories, it’s obvious that adoption is inevitable. Especially when you’ve spent time and effort rescuing a momma cat and her babies, and then you bring those adorable kittens into a house with friendly dogs—it’s only a matter of time before you accept your fate as a cat owner.
Fostering may begin as a temporary commitment, but for many of us, it’s the start of a lifelong love story with our feline friends.
