My husband and I live just south of Charlotte, NC, with our two rescue cats, Will Feral and Oshie. We could not do what we are doing with ferals, fosters, and rescues without their cooperation. Obviously, Will is our former feral.  Oshie is our shelter “foster fail,” an expression many of you recognize as a cat we intended to foster to adoption, but fell in love with and adopted ourselves. You can read about Will’s and Oshie’s journeys in the Happily Ever After blog posts.

For those of you who foster, you can appreciate the struggles and rewards recorded here. The struggles are to get our fosters healthy and socialized, and then adopted into forever homes with forever people. The rewards are when the very young or very sick charges finally get well, or when that feral admits to itself that living among people has its benefits.
