Woman Falls in Love with Two Kittens Unlikely to Survive, Decides to Foster Them
This story was originally shared on The Animal Rescue Site. Submit your own rescue story here. Your story just might be the next to be featured on our blog! It was my second time fostering for Broward Animal Control back in 2011. The minute I saw them, I knew I had to take them and I knew at least one of them would be a foster failure.
