My wife and I were horrible foster parents. The kittens we fostered, we couldn't give up. Now we have seven awesome cats living with us. I wouldn't give them up for the world.
@@sandym8787 Thank you. Those babies needed a home, and we could provide that. I've always had a cat as a pet, growing up. It's different when you have multiple cats. They are no longer pets, but you are part of "their" family. Each one has their own personality, needs, special events. It's incredible.
He's a good looking cat, the eyes, the color he is,is striking. I couldn't even think of fostering kittens, I'd probably keep all of them. Thanks for what you do, it matters.
Your 5 little words: "I will never leave you" is the best antidote for Chester cos he knows you love him and would take care of him forever. Thank you.

@@josephhodges9819 I understand that. I was actually providing an affirmation and positive observation about how they’re meeting was the catalyst for her calling to take on more difficult cases. I know what the expression means. 👍
We lost our baby from fading kitten syndrome, and let me tell you I am so happy that your baby made it. You're a wonderful mama! Thank you for not giving up on him!
Animals who have a rough start in life and receive the TLC they need, often become the most effective caregivers. Caroline nurtured Chester when he was struggling. Now he pays it forward, being an integral part of the fostering process for other kittens.
Huh, I never thought of it it that way. I got very sick with something that attacked my gastro-intestinal system when I was about 14 days old. I was in the University of WI Children's Hospital for over a month struggling to live after my small local hospital couldn't help me. Then I was on a special formula ONLY (no solid food or anything else) for over a year to help heal my gut. It apparently smelled horrible and was really expensive at the time per my parents. I went into the medical field and have always been very connected to those suffering with health problems, especially chronic illnesses. Perhaps I picked that up from the doctors and nurses that saved my life way back then. 💜
Chester is gorgeous. What a perfect guy. Seeing him as a tiny baby slipping away was sad. But he heard his mom's promise and he realized she'd be sad if he left so he fought to stay and won! He's as special as the family he loves. ❤
this put tears in my eyes. my cat had kittens three months ago (all of them have new homes now!). when they opened their eyes, i notice one of them, Jinx, was blind. After that i was considering keeping her because i wasnt sure if anyone would adopt a blind kitten, or how she would do in a new home. she seemed pretty healthy at first... until the beginning of her 5th week. i noticed she had started drooling, and a lot, and i didnt know why. she wasnt eating at all either. she would also hiss more and isolate herself from her mother and siblings. i knew she was sick, so i told my mom about it and asked her if we could take her to the vet. she told me she'd be fine. so, i started putting her in my bed to sleep with me just to make sure she was okay and that she wasnt too cold or something, because i had no idea what to do. i started doing some research, and this is when i found out what FKS (fading kitten syndrome) was, and realized that this might be what's wrong with her. I was really worried. the next day, i went to my bible study and we did prayer requests. my prayer request was that my sick kitten would be okay. the exact morning after that day, I woke up and couldnt feel Jinx sleeping on my arm. I looked around quickly because i was about to panic, and i looked next to me and she was dead. I cried a lot, everyday for 5 days. I stayed home from school that day because i was so heartbroken, worried that she died because of something i did. its been 3 months and i still wonder if i hadnt let her sleep in my bed with me that night, she would still be alive. im so happy that King Chester got a second chance and made it through his sickness. He's such a beautiful cat! im so happy for him, you go Chester!!
Definitely not your fault. And you know what else. She was only Here for a very short time but in that time she knew she was loved. She knew you loved her.❤ When you're ready, You will find another animal that needs your love.
I would not consider Chester a foster fail, you just didn't know you needed a full time cat. ALL HAIL KING CHESTER! Hope he rules the roost for a long time.
It really does seem to help when fostering kittens to also have an adult cat around who can help with grooming, teaching them basic cat behavior & bite control etc? Chester is doing a great job, and so is his momma! 👏
I have an orange Tabby boy named Simon. He found me after I came home from a deployment and was in pretty bad shape. He's my best friend and loves everyone. His adopted sister "Izzy" is equally loved and together they have helped me cope with life. I'm so glad they found their way to my door.
King Chester is a wonderful foster dad. He has great parenting skills. How did he learn to be a super foster dad? Bless his soul. I think Chester is giving back to the kittens what was given to him showing he appreciates being cared for and loved. Now it's his time to give back that care and love that was given to him. Thanks from Chester and me.
Aw Chester reminds me of my Simba who just passed a few months ago. He looked almost identical and had the same laid back sweet spirit. Always good with other kitties, especially kittens. I miss him so much 🥺😿💔
To be able to nurse a kitten through fading kitten syndrome is quite the accomplishment, because sadly, the survival rate is very low. This woman has found her calling, and it warmed my heart to see that she was inspired to rescue sick kittens. The world is a better place with her (and King Chester) in it❣️^+^
Long live Chester. He's an amazing friend with a big heart. Orange tabby's are the best. I found one that was a week old in 1998 in our barn and bottle fed him and raised him. He turned out to be the best behaved cat and friend anyone could ever ask for. He was my buddy for 15 years before Cancer took him. I was devastated but I'll never forget what a great friend and family member he was to me. Orange cats for life! 🤗
What a great story! My wife and I adopted two little ginger kitten brothers recently. One had a URI and was small. He took to me immediately. We got him an antibiotic, but then he stopped eating. I stayed up with him for two nights feeding him with a syringe. I learned you can give them some Pedialyte and a drop of syrup. After I did that, it brought his blood sugar up. He sprang to life in about 15 minutes. A month and a half later he is still small for his age, but he is unstoppable. His big brother doesn’t cut him any slack and he throws it right back at him. They are inseparable. He has markings similar to Chester. I love the part about when kittens struggle, it makes them have a love for life. Definitely true for my little buddy. Thank you for this story.
When animals go through health struggles, it's almost as though, they can identify with others that are going through, what they went through. Great job!
Not a foster fail, he needed you, you showed him a world of pussycats who just needed a smidge more empathy, compassion. Omg I'm in awe of your patience, determination, the love. Like caring for humans, we need to slow it down, realize we're all works in progress!
I love how their definition of "foster fail" implies that they failed to give him up for adoption and just decided to keep him, like "no, we made a promise to him and we're keeping that promise!"😆
Fostering is meant to be the temporary care of animals until a permanent home can be found. When the person fostering falls in love with the pet and ends up keeping it, that's a foster fail.
I never truly understood people’s love for their pets and and domestic animals until I got my 2 cats. They are both are kittens - one healthy and strong from a loving family the other a rescue found in a dustbin he is more scared and sickly but hoping he will outgrow these things soon as he’s in a loving home and eating good food. My partner spoils them and buys them super expensive cat food they are living the life here 😂 I love them to pieces I cannot imagine my life without these two cookies playing hide and seek , wrestling, cuddling and snuggling us wow !!! What beings thank you Nina and Teddy for being lights of our lives ❤️
Just like humans, animals often approach "caring for others" the way they learned it in their early years/months. This sweet lady is an angel, teaching a fellow angel how to care for the weaker ones. Absolutely adorable, heartwarming, and hope inspiring! The video is a keeper! ❤️❤️❤️
Those that know weakness know not only how to better sympathize with it, but that they can also empathize with it and they also know how to sense those that are in the same position as they are in their lives.
This is very true. Even Bats. When a Bat baby loses his parent... another adult Bat will take care of him as his own. Often other Bats who are caring care of their young ones will then take the orphaned Bat in as their own... teach them everything, care for them, feed them... Nature is truly beautiful. I do believe we are all one ❤
I had a litter like this once. The other kittens wouldn’t let him in to get any milk from mom. I had to take him to work with me and feed him with a bottle. And just like yours after a few days he came back stronger than ever.❤️

We had a wonderful orange tabby the kids named Chester! He just walked out of the woods one day and adopted us. Lived with us for 13 years. Greatest cat ever.
He is fostering, because you did to him. Your belief and love in him has caused him to be the same parent to everything that has been brought into his life. Thank you, thank you for being this person. My love for our feline entities is so great it brings tears to my eyes to see this. Thank you for sharing this and thank you for being you.
Caroline and your husband of the Dodo, thank you both for not giving up on Chester and for seeing him through Fading Kitten Syndrome. When and since you told Chester you’d never give up on or leave him, the statement willed hm to get well. This is a great fail - a win-win-win for everyone. He is meant to be your furever sweet and cute fur baby boy. He gets to love the kittens and teach them Cat Manners and how to be a cat. Thank you for starting a kitten rescue. ❤
It’s truly amazing how an animal can completely change our lives. Chester has given you so much that now you are paying it forward with all the rescues you care for. I think he’s paying it forward as well for all the love & kindness you’ve shown him as well. 🐾❤️🐾
Chester is such a handsome & sweet boy. Caroline & her family are amazing pet parents & you can tell that Chester really melted their hearts. Thank you for fostering all those adorable kittens & to Chester for being an amazing kitty mentor. I wish I could foster but I get too attached. I can barely even go to the shelter without wanting to take home every cat & dog. I lost my two amazing kitties Chip & Calvin last year☹️☹️😫 & am still grieving & recovering. One day I will make it back to the shelter so I can adopt a couple of new kitties in honor of Chip & Calvin. Pet parents rock🤘🐱+🐶RULE!👍🙂
Well, if he's a foster failure then I'm a monkey's uncle ! What a heartwarming story ❤️. Thankyou for fostering the other kittens especially if they are sick too. God bless you and your family. 🙏 smile 😃 😊 ❤️. Thanks Dodo for another great video. 👍
That is a beautiful story. Chester is such a beautiful kitten. He knew why he was here. He took to his duty with aplomb. Well done on you and your husband's part. You are special people.
Please don't bring the imaginary ghost in the sky into this. Its 2021. She did it on her own .. her and her husband . Not a ghost in the clouds. Please stop that and wake up.
Chester pulled through because you were there rooting for him and he could feel the love and the strength from you. Thank you for pulling him through!💜
OMG, I LOVE THIS! The little ones are adorable. I have 2 cats that were from a little born under my dresser. I woke up one morning to the sound of mew, mew, mew... BABIES!!! Yay. I was so excited. Thank you for caring for the sick ones. It's a shame in our society that we can so easily throw sick people and animals to the curb.
The way Chester treats the other kitties is his way of passing on the love and hope and trust that you showered him with. Thank goodness for the foster fail....
King Chester has grown up into a healthy adult! I love when he was grooming the other foster kitties and being a father figure for them. Thank you both for taking care of him and making him part of your family ❤❤
We've adopted 8 abandoned neighborhood cats and I've had lots of cats over my life. I've three male "gingers" and have one now and they seem to be some of the best cats. Always very affectionate and friendly to strangers.
It seems your love and loving promise healed Chester. Maybe it was harder on him to be taken from his mother at 2 weeks and he needed extra love. Thank you for making the world a better place. All hail the regal Chester! 🌻🐈💐❤
Chester is a beautiful boy. So happy you rescued him, and he turned out to be a foster failure. He's obviously happy being the King of your family and all the foster kittens love him as much as he loves them. ❤❤😅😅

I love how their definition of "foster fail" implies that they failed to give him up for adoption and just decided to keep him, like "no, we made a promise to him and we're keeping that promise!"😆
I'm pretty sure it means they didn't put him up for another foster or adoption
I know, right! I always say that a foster fail is the best kind of fail.
They failed to give it up for adoption, so yes: it's a failure in that sense :-P
Fostering is meant to be the temporary care of animals until a permanent home can be found. When the person fostering falls in love with the pet and ends up keeping it, that's a foster fail.

Those that know weakness know not only how to better sympathize with it, but that they can also empathize with it and they also know how to sense those that are in the same position as they are in their lives.
Just like humans some animals including cats can be savages.
My cat just turned into a stalker lol i don't remember what privacy was
You know humans are literally animals, right? Stop acting like they're completely separate beings.
This is very true. Even Bats. When a Bat baby loses his parent... another adult Bat will take care of him as his own. Often other Bats who are caring care of their young ones will then take the orphaned Bat in as their own... teach them everything, care for them, feed them... Nature is truly beautiful. I do believe we are all one ❤
Did Chester just roll over and literally reach out to hug his momma?! What a perfect cat!
Yes, Chester definately is a King of a cat, with the most beautiful color eyes.
Hey, i have stray cats who want to your support🐈🐈🙏
Chester kinda looks like the Lion King 🐈🦁
Definitely*
The sound of a cats purr is so calming to me. Honestly puts my body at ease. ❤️ kitties!!
Hello Elizabeth how are you doing today
God bless Chester and the woman who promised to take care of him forever.
I had a litter like this once. The other kittens wouldn’t let him in to get any milk from mom. I had to take him to work with me and feed him with a bottle. And just like yours after a few days he came back stronger than ever.❤️
Hello Jennifer how are you doing today

We had a wonderful orange tabby the kids named Chester! He just walked out of the woods one day and adopted us. Lived with us for 13 years. Greatest cat ever.
He is fostering, because you did to him. Your belief and love in him has caused him to be the same parent to everything that has been brought into his life. Thank you, thank you for being this person. My love for our feline entities is so great it brings tears to my eyes to see this. Thank you for sharing this and thank you for being you.
king chester is so gentle with the foster kittens. he knows. for sure, he knows
There’s always that “forever kitten” that changes your life furever. That’s one lucky kitty 💕🐾
They are all beautiful and gorgeous.
“awwww” moment is when the husband hold him gently like they re communicating ♥️♥️♥️
Caroline and your husband of the Dodo, thank you both for not giving up on Chester and for seeing him through Fading Kitten Syndrome. When and since you told Chester you’d never give up on or leave him, the statement willed hm to get well. This is a great fail - a win-win-win for everyone. He is meant to be your furever sweet and cute fur baby boy. He gets to love the kittens and teach them Cat Manners and how to be a cat. Thank you for starting a kitten rescue. ❤
It’s truly amazing how an animal can completely change our lives. Chester has given you so much that now you are paying it forward with all the rescues you care for. I think he’s paying it forward as well for all the love & kindness you’ve shown him as well. 🐾❤️🐾
2.42, when Chester and his dad are enjoying some affection, is just so special!
He's not only the king but he looks beautiful too and like a lion
I luv that chester's personality is just exactly like her mom 🤍
Hooman: If you fight through this, I will take care of you forever
Kitten: *Now I've got you right where I want you, Hooman*
king: ha ha, you have fallen for my trap. i was never sick i was only pretending to be sick to have a kingdom to myself
I tried to update, accidentally down voted
*evil laugh*
Exactly! He's a slick lil joker lol
He needed to hear those words.
I know that this is considered a "foster fail", but it's more like "love success."
Chester is such a handsome & sweet boy. Caroline & her family are amazing pet parents & you can tell that Chester really melted their hearts. Thank you for fostering all those adorable kittens & to Chester for being an amazing kitty mentor. I wish I could foster but I get too attached. I can barely even go to the shelter without wanting to take home every cat & dog. I lost my two amazing kitties Chip & Calvin last year☹️☹️😫 & am still grieving & recovering. One day I will make it back to the shelter so I can adopt a couple of new kitties in honor of Chip & Calvin.
Pet parents rock🤘🐱+🐶RULE!👍🙂
Well, if he's a foster failure then I'm a monkey's uncle ! What a heartwarming story ❤️. Thankyou for fostering the other kittens especially if they are sick too. God bless you and your family. 🙏 smile 😃 😊 ❤️. Thanks Dodo for another great video. 👍
Man i could never be a foster dad cuz I'd want to keep them all.
Saaaame 😩
Well little Chester grew up to be the most beautiful cat! gorgeous eyes and what a helper he is too!
I'm now laughing at myself because this made me tear up. Pets are such a blessing to us, the love and companionship that they provide is priceless!
There is something special about the orange tabby. They are the sweetest, most affectionate and loving cats. 🐈 ❤
I love watching him with the kittens. That is just the best!
It was your promise to him that made him better and of course his feisty spirit. Thank you ! ❤️🥰
Chester is a beautiful inside and out angel.
When love conquers all. Thank u for showering love on this little orange nugget and saving his life and now you & Chester pay it forward❤❤❤
That is a beautiful story. Chester is such a beautiful kitten. He knew why he was here. He took to his duty with aplomb. Well done on you and your husband's part. You are special people.
You guys are good to all these babies may God bless you guys and may God bless all of the animals. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇😇🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕
Please don't bring the imaginary ghost in the sky into this. Its 2021. She did it on her own .. her and her husband . Not a ghost in the clouds. Please stop that and wake up.
What if these people aren't Christian
After so much care, no WONDER this kitten was a foster fail! People like you are to be so commended for the foster care you give animals. Thank you!!!
If that does not give YOU a warm and fuzzy feeling, I do not know what will?
Chester pulled through because you were there rooting for him and he could feel the love and the strength from you. Thank you for pulling him through!💜
Chester Was a King Before He Was Born...The Rest is Just Fate....What a Beautiful Boy He is
Give the kittens to their forever family is definitely the hardest thing to do.
Great to see Chester raising the wee ones! ❤️ He's taking the job seriously
*THERE IS A SPECIAL PLACE IN HEAVEN FOR THOSE WHO HELP ANIMALS IN NEED. GOD BLESS YOU !!!*
She was so devoted to make Chester feel better.. Thank you for sharing Chester’s journey. What a beautiful cat..
OMG, I LOVE THIS! The little ones are adorable. I have 2 cats that were from a little born under my dresser. I woke up one morning to the sound of mew, mew, mew... BABIES!!! Yay. I was so excited. Thank you for caring for the sick ones. It's a shame in our society that we can so easily throw sick people and animals to the curb.
He turned gorgeous, wow!
The way Chester treats the other kitties is his way of passing on the love and hope and trust that you showered him with. Thank goodness for the foster fail....
Thank you for sharing Chester’s journey. What a beautiful cat.
King Chester has grown up into a healthy adult! I love when he was grooming the other foster kitties and being a father figure for them. Thank you both for taking care of him and making him part of your family ❤❤
Awwe I almost cried thinking he wasn’t going to make it! I’m so glad he’s the king now! The foster kittens will be happier because of his love ❤️
We've adopted 8 abandoned neighborhood cats and I've had lots of cats over my life. I've three male "gingers" and have one now and they seem to be some of the best cats. Always very affectionate and friendly to strangers.
He's so loving and affectionate. He gives the love that he didn't have before you. I love Chester, you did good with him
It seems your love and loving promise healed Chester. Maybe it was harder on him to be taken from his mother at 2 weeks and he needed extra love. Thank you for making the world a better place. All hail the regal Chester! 🌻🐈💐❤
Chester is one of the most beautiful cats I've ever seen, and I spend serious time looking at cats. Gorgeous inside and out like a true King.👑
Chester is a beautiful boy. So happy you rescued him, and he turned out to be a foster failure. He's obviously happy being the King of your family and all the foster kittens love him as much as he loves them. ❤❤😅😅
chester cute when he was kitten & now...so handsome cat
Hey friend, i have stray cats who want to your support🐈🐈🙏
