Meet Toast: The Cat Who Forgot He's a Cat

So, I thought I was prepared for anything when I agreed to foster a cat. Enter Toast. He’s got the IQ of a loaf of bread and the face of an angel. This is the same cat who tried to climb into the fridge—twice—because he thought it was a portal to Narnia. He also thinks my laptop is a heated bed (meetings will never be the same). But here’s the thing: every time he does something ridiculous, he looks up at me with those big, clueless eyes and I just melt. Toast might not be the brightest, but he’s mastered the art of being adorable. If you ever need a reminder that love doesn’t require a high IQ, just foster a pet. They’ll teach you patience, humility, and how to laugh at the chaos. 10/10 would recommend. #CatLife #FosterPets #PetStories #Pets #Cats

Save Azul ! Foster and Rescue! To be Euthanized!

Azul is just 1.5 years old and 41.6 lbs. She was found alone on 7/12 and taken in by a kind stranger for a day. In that short time, she showed her sweet side: she took treats gently, allowed chin pets, was easily leashed, and walked to the car with hesitation but no fear-based aggression. She was calm in a crate, quiet, and not destructive. But once at the shelter, everything changed. Azul was so terrified that they used a catch pole/snare and she has struggled with fear and avoidance ever since. Her evaluations show a dog who’s overwhelmed — she’s tense, cautious, unsure how to trust. Because of this, Azul has been labeled “rescue only” and has a hard deadline of 7/27. 💔 Azul can feel the love from volunteers who stop at her kennel door. And volunteers — the ones who always try to win the trust of fearful dogs — see a spark of hope still in her. She leans in for gentle pets, even when afraid. She’s treat-motivated, knows “sit,” and clearly wants to believe in someone again. She just needs time, patience, and a quiet place to decompress ⏳ Time is running out. 🏡 Azul needs a committed foster and a rescue who sees her for who she can be. 🔗 Apply to foster: DOGFOSTER.ORG Her ID is #A5147892 She is about a year and a half and 41.8 lbs Read the shelter notes here: https://apps.pets.maricopa.gov/priority/Details/OTI2-NjIw-NTZB She is at the East Shelter: https://www.maricopa.gov/220/Locations-Hours #SaveAzul #RescueOnly #FearfulButWorthy #FosterNeeded #RescueDog #DogsKnow #VolunteersMatter #TrustTakesTime #FearfulDogDeservesLove #DeadlineDog #FosterSavesLives #HelpMe #SaveMeNow #Euthanasia #FosterPets #NewHopePartners #A5147892 #Mcacc #Azpoundpups #Dogfoster #azdogfoster #azfosters #Maricopacountyanimalcareandcontrol #Pets #SavingLivesToday https://apps.pets.maricopa.gov/priority/Details/OTI2-NjIw-NTZB

Saying Goodbye to My Temporary Cat Roommate

So, it’s official: my time as a cat landlord is almost up. I’ve been fostering this little furball for weeks, and now it’s almost time to hand her over to the adoption center. I knew this was the deal from the start, but wow, it’s harder than I thought. She’s chewed through two phone chargers, learned how to open the treat drawer, and somehow convinced me that 3am is a perfectly reasonable time for zoomies. But she’s also the first to greet me when I get home, and her purrs are basically emotional support on four legs. I keep telling myself she’ll find her forever family, and I’ll get my sanity (and my chargers) back. Still, I’m going to miss her weird little face. Anyone else ever feel like a total mess when it’s time to say goodbye to a foster pet? #FosterPets #CatLife #PetAdoption #Pets #Cats
