Mischa

I started fostering for Best Friends Pet Rescue in 2017 and have since taken in over 30 dogs, cats, puppies and kittens. I came into fostering with the mindset that by opening our home, we are saving a life, even though it is terribly hard to say goodbye to any animal you have bonded with.

I was fostering a litter of 7 kittens. Noah, Leo, Henry, Luca, Savannah and Paisley were all adopted, but poor little Mischa didn’t have any interest. I was waiting patiently for an application to come in but we were enjoying spending time with Mischa and watching her grow up.

Before fostering with Best Friends, I didn’t have any experience with cats and never thought I would own a cat. But Mischa has this ability to love me no matter what. Even when I’m in a bad mood, she will brighten me up just by cuddling up to me.

So thank you to the hard working volunteers, especially the one who gave us the litter of 7 kittens to foster, and ultimately sending us Mischa who we have since adopted.
