Orphaned 1-Pound Kitten Gets Adopted By a 160-Pound Great Dane | The Dodo Little But Fierce

Couldn't agree more!! Potato is a riot, Corbin is a beautiful, gentle giant and Karen is one of those true angels on earth. A lot of people talk the talk, but someone like Karen walks the walk. God bless her for all she does to give so many animals in need good homes. Cheers Padmaakrishna and Karen!!

That dog's tongue covered that baby's entire face. The lick was so gigantic it knocked the baby over and I had to get out of Dodge before the mom showed up.

The bond between Corbin and Potato is so strong so there is no way she would let go of Potato and I'm sure Corbin would agree. One foster fail out of the rest getting adopted is a great track record and she has lots of room to foster more and besides Potato is the boss and I'm sure if she gets more kittens to foster, Potato will be there to help.

[@momcat2223]

My thoughts exactly! Corbin and Potato would miss each other too much and now Corbin has a helper who can teach new fosters how to 'cat.'

[@angelajones9800]

I agree with most of what you said. I wouldn't call potato a "foster fail". The point of fostering is to find them homes, and potato found his. It's a win all the way around.

Ten years ago I had a dog that was so mistreated find his way to my door and to my heart. I nursed him back to health and had him for 8! Years. One snowy icey night he ran out at midnight to go potty and came back with a freezing cold kitten. He repeated that 4 yes and brought everyone in. We found the mom out front hit by a plow truck. He took care of them and pretty much raised then and when we gave them away he cried! Greatest dog ever

[@timeforthinkers7418]

@@amandajones6481 Sweet little Tripod was a 8-9 week old kitten I found with 1 of its hind legs wedged between 2 planks of a neighbor's fence. That precious fur baby had been there for a while struggling to free itself and had maggots in the wound made by his struggles. He bit completely through my thumb while I was trying to free him. I took him to the vet but unfortunately his leg couldn't be saved as the circulation had been impeded for too long. I brought him home and after a week or so he was showing some interest in my cats. Pretty soon he was racing around like nothing ever happened. I already had 7 cats and others in the household thought we had more than enough cats so to keep the peace I put a flyer up at the vet's office and the nicest young man & his girlfriend saw it when they took a dog they found in the road in to the vet to scan for a chip. From that I knew he was a good guy so I let him adopt Tripod. I've shed a lot of parting tears over the years when 1 of my babies leaves for a new home but I found it isn't fair to the animals when you have too many. You can't possibly give them the proper care they need or enough affection they deserve. However, I don't let just anyone have 1 of my fur babies. One of my greatest cats over all the years was a large long haired orange & white lover I named Simpson. I found him hiding in the bushes outside my house. He was about 5-6 months old and was positively endearing. He was Mr Personality, a real clown.

To this day those cats act more like dogs than cats, they will walk down the street with you just like a dog and they will run to windows if they heard something.
