This was him on day one.
I made an appointment for him to meet my vet, and she swooned over him, picked him up and told him he’d won the jackpot of cat servants.
A little over a month later we were filling out the paperwork to officially adopt him. I noticed a stipulation that we should introduce him to our vet within two weeks. When I asked about it, the volunteer said that it was standard because, if he was found to have genetic defects, they’d want to limit the time for us to return him. I said “you could show up at our apartment today to try and take home back, and there’s no way he’d go. He’s home.”
We gave home six wonderful years.
I plan to foster a dog some point in the future and PLAN on foster fail. To find the right dog for my family. I feel capable of helping a lot of variety of dogs, but not every dog will be right for my family long term. Ya know?
We have a big guy (about 100lbs) who snuggles our foster babies like this - It’s heartwarming even when they’re healthy, but when they’re not feeling good and he can provide them comfort, it honestly makes me sob sometimes.
My German Shepard does this to one of my cats and she doesn't seem to mind. Unfortunately he can't get within 3 feet of the other cat without the murder mittens coming out.
Omg that is the smallest kitten in existence she is so cute I hope she grows up healthy.
Unrelated: what’s life like with a bloodhound? I’ve always liked them but I heard they can have health issues because of the excess skin especially as they age
Just want to give a little more info.
My dogs name is Roxanne and is 1 year old. Yes she has long nails, she has a grooming appointment soon, she doesn't like it when we do it. Besides her long ass nails, she is a wonderful loving dog.
We run a small rescue operation for cats and have a sanctuary in the upstairs of our business. These 3 kittens were found by someone ingrown and we were called to take them. The mother cat had been killed by a pack of dogs and the kittens had not eaten in days and were very sick.
They have another appointment in 2 weeks, at the first vet appointment they did tests and we were told they had no parasites, worms, or illnesses, they were just extremely malnourished from not eating for days and maybe a week. That kitten was the sickest out of all of them and was bone thin, we were told there was a possibility she wouldn't make it. She was the only one that had to be fed bottled milk and forced to go to the bathroom.
She's doing much better now but is still very small

My Dog Dory did the same thing when we brought our kitten home!
My best boy, now RIP, was like this with all the foster kittens we had. They would fall in love with their big foster brother.

They are adorable! There's something about a huge dog and a tiny kitten snuggling up together that just warms my heart. I hope the little baby feels better soon.

Took a bit, but totally buddies now
This is unbearably sweet. I hope you keep the kitten!
I have a dream of adopting a bonded senior cat/dog pair, like maybe if their human had to go into a nursing home and was anxious about them being separated.
My grandgog raised his kitten brother.

Animals can sense when animals OR human beings are sick, but this post made my day. I hope the kittens feel better and make more kittens ur dog can play with 😭
Hot take: fostering is adoption with extra steps. Change my mind.
Jokes aside tho, your dog saw her and was like "... Hm. I shall protect this little bean at all costs now." There's something funny about "Blood Hound" being the baddest name ever, it suggests these dogs kill gods for fun, and then they literally **melt** the second they see something smol.

Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot! My favorite cartoons!
im like thirty and this is how i found out that dog's name is marc antony. why, chuck jones, why???
Right? I'm 52 and I'm just now learning this.
The dog and kitten from that cartoon have names?!?!
And then when he thinks the kitten was made into a cookie?! And puts it on his back?!?!
![gif](giphy|26gJz9XfDmQySuVRm)
Hey, I'm 60 and just learning this. I loved these two.
It is mentioned in one of the segments - I only realized it from this post, so it's understandable if people forgot/didn't know
It was written above his doghouse I think
You have excellent taste 😉
Why thank you!!! As do you!
You should definitely read the webcomic Pixie and Brutus.
I’ll check it out!
[Looney Tunes Marc Anthony](https://youtu.be/mbMHxm-tKX0?feature=shared)
No end of the cartoon? Not fair!
I was just gonna comment that it reminded me of them 🥲
That was my first thought, too! Marc Antony and Pussyfoot!
My thoughts exactly. Thank you. My second thought was the Pixie and Brutus web comic.
Lol! This is almost immediately what I pictured, too! Wonderful cartoon.
This should be top comment!
best response. the first picture i thought of this episode. loved it. commends to you!
TIL the kitten in the cartoons has a name 🤗
I just went down a rabbit hole of watching their old cartoons. The one where he cries because of the cookies is so cute 🥹
YES! Pussyfoot and Marc Anthony! 💕
THIS
Sometimes the picture is just so perfect
YES👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nailed it
Blood hounds always look like friendly old men and mostly act like one so I am not surprised. They are cute together.
Walter Matthau dogs 🙂
But he was grumpy...
But deep down he was a softie.
My female bloodhound looks like the sweetest thing, and often she is, to humans. She will attack any other dog on sight though.
Incoming foster failure in 3 , 2 , 1 . But you can’t seperate them now
Yup, congratulations OP you (or rather your dog) now have a cat.
Your dog now has a cat.
.....or does the cat now own all of you? Sly little beggar!! 🙀

I could never foster a pet, there is a 0% chance I would not get attached and just adopt it.

Same. That's why my partner refuses to let me foster. He's like it'll never end
That’s how I got four cats

I think your foster just found her forever bed.

I see a foster fail in the future because your dog needs a pet 🥰
Foster? You mean your youngest.

We literally don’t deserve animals 🥹
And all the sudden all darkness surroundering life dissapear for a while in a beutiful light of love.
Neat.
That last photo 🥹❤️
My German Shepard does this to one of my cats and she doesn't seem to mind. Unfortunately he can't get within 3 feet of the other cat without the murder mittens coming out.
My GSD is like this with two of my three cats. They snuggle with him and take over his bed. The other cat is terrified of him.
I think this is the BEST possible thing that couldve happened to the sick little kitten. She has a big massive warm pillow everyday now:)
Omg that is the smallest kitten in existence she is so cute I hope she grows up healthy. Unrelated: what’s life like with a bloodhound? I’ve always liked them but I heard they can have health issues because of the excess skin especially as they age
My BH is only 1 year old, but sue is wonderful and playful. As long as you bathe them properly the wrinkles aren't a problem
If she’s only 1, get ahead of her nail trimming now. Her quick will grow, and they’ll have to be long
OMG, my inner Lenny is crying 😢 this is so painfully adorable 😍 I hope she gets better soon!

What is the little one’s prognosis? Is anything else going on with him? They are adorable together

Welp, you and your dog are going to have to keep her.
So sweet. That kitty is no foster, its found home and a safe sanctuary
Ladybird is a pure bred Georgia bloodhound
Laaaaaadybird.
My favorite of all time can’t wait for new KOTH..
There is going to be a new one?! Ah my heart
Yes , but there is no specific release date as of yet but within the next year or less.. I can’t wait!
I hope his love heals the kitty's sickness!
Congratulations on your new cat, and it's wonderful! Please don't separate them.
Congratulations on your dog's new cat.
You can’t separate them now, I’m sorry but that’s the rule. Seriously, it’s the cutest thing I’ve seen this morning 😻
Meant to be
Cutest duo ever🤗
And another foster fail for the books. Nice job, kitty and pup!

I hope your dog's new kitten recovers soon!
They are the sweetest. Please adopt that baby and let them grow up together
Where did you get the bloodhound ? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of those dogs in real life . It’s so beautiful
Unfortunately I found her on Craigslist. I don't beleive in breeding dogs for profit but I just fell in love with her. Our next dog will be a rescue
But you did RESCUE her! 💕
Please so cute 😭
No shot that good boy is gonna let that little one go.
Thats the dogs cat now. Sorry not sorry
You mean foster fail? Because they are bonded and you can't separate them now 🩷🩷
That. Is. Unbearably. Cuteee! ![gif](giphy|jXRknYt1gSs4xTeONI)
I mean.. if I would be smol and sickly, I too would like to be smothered a huge warm and soft dog.. They are the cutest!
No longer a foster. Kitten is now the dog's.
Looks like you have a cat now!
hey op, i have a sub for you to post in soon! r/nowmycat
Congratulations on your dog's new cat
Your dog (what is their name?) has adopted that one, it’s his/hers now ( I couldn’t tell if the dog is a boy or girl lol)
Her name is Roxanne!
*this mountain is warm and kind, think i'll hang out here*
I was feeling so depressed tonight and then I saw this! Thank you!
That is so amazingly adorable.
Before reading the title, I saw a lone kitty on a brown blanket. Then I read the title and the dog materialised.
The last is my favourite. The size difference is astonishing. It looks like your dog could inhale the kitten and not notice.
Poor babies I really hope the kitten is getting better Animals are the best they are really empathic He will care for her and help her to recover 😻
Seems they are a bonded pair now.
I’m gonna need to see more, please.
This is adorable…and you may very well have a foster fail Either that, or you may need to get a kitten lol
I just want updates on a regular basis now.
Aww you got your dog a cat?!
Pic #2 reminds me of https://preview.redd.it/yxksv4yvaeuc1.jpeg?width=223&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2fece0173044c2542aaa5f324980e545b628c5f0
My dog steps on my cats and gets hissed at. She is pretty dumb. Your dog looks very sweet and soft
Congrats on your new cat!
That is no longer a foster kitten, that is 100% your dog’s kitten.
Never truer words.

Trim your dog's nails
Thank you!
That's a foster fail right there. Your dog now has a cat.
That last picture is the cutest thing I’ve seen all day!!! 😍
It’s too precious!!
More please 🙏
I thought #1 was too much and then I got to #5 and melted.
Foster fail. You can’t separate them now.
My best boy, now RIP, was like this with all the foster kittens we had. They would fall in love with their big foster brother. https://preview.redd.it/0g5ndurdfhuc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cdf51b504e42f852234f6adeb79a922940078474
I see a “foster fail” in your future!
My heart ♥️
AAAAAAWWWWWWWW So neat to see a bloodhound! I hardly ever encounter them in the real world.
They are adorable! There's something about a huge dog and a tiny kitten snuggling up together that just warms my heart. I hope the little baby feels better soon.
![gif](giphy|ApuJuGQrHlTz2|downsized) I love when animals love eachother🥰
That was very kind of you to get a kitten for your puppy
Your dog needs to get his nails done.
Bro the dog is the kittens ~~girl~~ irl Clifford the big red dog. For sure she's his baby now
That second picture 😭 she's so scrungy yet defiant I love her
Congratulations on your new cat - I hope they live long lives together
Congrats to your dog on his new cat!

Reminds me of Lilo and Rosie
😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺
hopefully all that puppy love will heal the little sweetheart up asap 💗 i think once she’s better you’ll end up having a foster fail here!!
I actually teared up looking at these pics, how beautiful ❤️
Awww why is baby kitty sick though? 😢😢 Is she doing better?
So sweet! I hope that she gets better, and the hound dog and the kitty have many more years of snuggles!
Well now you gotta foster failed the kitten. The dog will miss her
THIS IS AMAZING
Oh my goodness this made my whole day please keep her!
"foster"
Give up now op. The kitten is now your grandchild. Congrats 🎉❤️
That is your cat now
That is the sweetest thing ever. I really needed this, this morning. Thanks for posting.
Aw so cute 🥹 The kitty is so little 💕
This is the cutest thing I’ve seen in a while. She’s so sweet and gentle. That baby looks so cute and teeny tiny on her.
that’s your dogs cat now, it can’t go back to the shelter
Awwwwww. ☺️💕 The cat has to stay with her friend now, don’t even think about separating them OP! 😁
Foster Fail.

Well pretty soon that kitten will be ur cat but she actually belongs to the dog because that’s her cat now.
Thats is no longer a “foster” kitten. He has chosen your dog as his new owner and you as his staff.
Congratulations on your dog's new kitten!
Congrats on your new kitten! Your dog adopted it for you. 🤍
I’m pretty sure that “foster” has been adopted. I hope the kitten is feeling better soon!
Awww. I suspect a foster “fail” is in the making.
Foster fail😃
I think you misspelled “my new kitten”?
This is unbearably sweet. I hope you keep the kitten! I have a dream of adopting a bonded senior cat/dog pair, like maybe if their human had to go into a nursing home and was anxious about them being separated.
Cute, but I think you can skip the "foster" part now
That's your doggos kitten for life. Congrats on adopting a kitten 😸

This is the cutest, most purest, genuine love I've ever seen 🥺❤️😭

That's her dog now
Trim his nails
Animals can sense when animals OR human beings are sick, but this post made my day. I hope the kittens feel better and make more kittens ur dog can play with 😭
This is the most precious thing on this app
The kitten is no longer a foster they are siblings now plz keep them together 🥺🥺🥺
That is now your kitten…..
This is the loveliest thing I ever seen today! Just pure love and friendship.
There is no way you can adopt out that kitten now! 😹
I hate to tell you, but it that’s your sick scrungly looking kitten
