Ebony was my first foster. That lasted all of 29 minutes! I was on the phone, telling them to take her OFF the adoption list. It was and is the SHORTEST ever fostering in their records.

Chaplin was NOT staying. NO WAY. He actually left for about 3 weeks. Then the woman who was socializing him for adoption had her summer vacation and needed a kitten sitter for 10 days. He had been here for 4 days before moving to her home, was I interested? Oh sure. Ya'll know what happened! The 3rd night he slept on Dad's bed. Next morning, Dad told me and added, "So we're keeping him, right?"

I failed cat fostering twice; and dog fostering once. (I technically consider it twice, as I truly believe we have Ozzy for life).

Have I ever fostered successfuly? Er, NO! And since I have a full house, so NO MORE FOSTERING for a few years.
