09/04/2026

$5 FRIDAY FOR NANI & LILO! WE'VE BEEN CARRYING THIS BALANCE OF $1021.47 FOR THEIR VET VISITS/SURGERIES THAT OCCURED ON 8/5 AND 8/12 RESPECTIVELY - PLEASE HELP US FINISH PAYING THESE OFF TODAY! WE CAN'T CONTINUE TO CARRY THIS LARGE BALANCE ON OUR CREDIT CARD!!! www.milwaukeepetsalive.org/donate

We would say that we need a big showing to help us get this done today, but really we don't - we just need a few of you cat lovers among our 9 THOUSAND FOLLOWERS to get this done today! Just 204 people donating $5 clears these bills! Five dollars may be the smallest amount you spend all day - but we promise you, it will be the most meaningful, impactful money you spend. Nani and Lilo - (the two all black kitties at the top of this photo) got their wellness exams, complete bloodwork, microchip implants, spay surgeries, and distemper titers (which we found them to be both very protected - they won't need FVRCP vaccination for a very long time - if ever again - we'll talk more about that later for those who want to learn in a different post) - and your donations will help provide that for them by helping us pay off their balance (as you know in vet care, you have to pay up front, so we just throw it on a credit card and worry how to pay for it later).

Nani and Lilo are Meg's kids - who got a chance at a safe, carefree...and fun! ...indoor life because a couple that had what they needed said yes to their foster plea. We are still praying someone will do the same for their mom (see our MANY pleas for Meg if you would like to foster her and give her the same opportunity!).

We also wanted to share this particular photo to show how properly-matched resident kitties help our undersocialized ones by giving them something familiar (a member of their own species) somewhere unfamiliar (in a home) - and to try new and foreign things...like this crazy toy that spins around (you can see Lilo up top looking at it like, "What the heck is this thing? There is nothing like this outside!", but you can see the resident kitties (the tuxedos) sitting around it very relaxed - and Nani and Lilo see their reaction as it not being threatening, and that gives them the courage, and the "okay" to check it out, too. The right match of resident cats makes all the difference for our undersocialized babies!

Please donate to help us care for Nani and Lilo! Link up top!

HERE'S AN UPDATE ON ALL OF OUR PLEAS FOR HELP TO HELP US HELP THE SPECIAL NEEDS AND CONSIDERATIONS ANIMALS OF SE WI:Meg ...
09/04/2026

HERE'S AN UPDATE ON ALL OF OUR PLEAS FOR HELP TO HELP US HELP THE SPECIAL NEEDS AND CONSIDERATIONS ANIMALS OF SE WI:

Meg - undersocialized mom cat of our under-socialized Nani and Lilo that we have been searching for a foster home she will succeed in since last October. Need a foster home for her by October 1. We aren't letting her spend another winter outside. Needs a quiet, low-key adult-only foster home, no dogs, and preferably a home with a playful and friendly young male resident cat (such a companion helps our young undersocialized females a lot) - ZERO foster applications

Sweetie Pie - the most precious little being on the planet that also happens to be blind. LOVES all forms of cuddling and attention. Your company is her favorite thing. We had to put her in a temporary foster home that's not a fit for her (so she's just in a room there) when the foster we had lined up for her backed out on her hours before we needed to rescue her. Her stay at her temp foster home has turned into a year stay. She needs a quiet, calm, tranquil adult-only foster home with an individual or couple who are established in their life and residence and live in a quiet neighborhood. No dogs. We think she really wants to be someone's one and only, but we would consider a home with the most gentle and kind super-senior male cat - ZERO foster applications for one of the greatest cats we have ever met

Emergency/Standby Foster Rooms - We don't use a "foster room" model of rescue - our foster animals are integrated fully into the foster home (which is why we look for certain, specific homes for our animals based on their needs), but we have been seeking to have some Foster Parents that can dedicate a spare room or office as a Foster Room so we can get some animals with special needs and/or considerations safe that we have been asked to help (because when someone asks for help, we don't have a year to wait for someone to come forward to foster). We still need quiet homes - all the animals we rescue, and that we are contacted about that we will consider helping - are special needs or considerations. So still need adult-only homes preferably (but a mature and quiet older teen (late high school aged) may be ok, preferably no dogs (though a senior dog that doesn't bark could work) - but any kind of cats would be okay - because our cat is not going to be interacting with your cat. We made a call to action to all those people who comment on our posts that they "would foster but have a female cat" (since we have been looking for homes with no cats or a male cat for a while, so of course, there are no homes with male cats in SE WI - just homes with female cats apparently) - because it doesn't matter what kind of cat you have to be an Emergency/Standby Foster Room Parent, but you guessed it, ZERO foster applications for this role.

*All MPA fosters must be located in the 5 counties we serve - Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha, Ozaukee.

Help to help us start our Sanctuary - we could have socialized Meg and 10 cats just like her ourselves by now in the time we have been asking for one person that has what she needs to foster her if we had our own Sanctuary where we could do the socializing in a space that cats like her can succeed and be socialized. We need to start somewhere - even it its small. We help lives that would be killed if brought to the big shelters in this community (and some of the small ones) - lives literally hang in the balance while we ask and ask for help that goes unanswered. So for awhile, we ask for people to connect us with people with resources that could help us get something started - maybe they have land. Maybe they have a property that has been vacant that they want to do some good with that they would give or lend us. Maybe they have been blessed financially and want to bless innocent animals that need us with it. We put an email out on these posts with these corresponding pleas - ZERO people have contacted us to help.

We're batting a thousand - on zeroes - that's not an average we want.

Rescue is a community effort. There are just a couple people behind the scenes of this one doing the work of dozens (you have no idea) and giving our gifts to these animals, but a few people hit a capacity at what they can do alone - and you see it. We need more people, more help, more resources. We have 9,000 followers across our 2 social media platforms and every single one of you has a network of people, contacts, resources (and all the people in your network have those same things increasing the available resources exponentially). We need you to bring those people and resources to the table here to help the special needs and considerations animals we serve that wouldn't have life without us. We need the 9000 of you watching the handful of us to help when we ask for help by using the connections and resources you have (if we had them, or the help we are asking for - we wouldn't need to ask). We can only do so much. If we want to do more, if we want to help more, we need more help ourselves. Every single person can do something. All 9,000 followers are connected to every single person in SE WI by a degree or several - that's a lot of help - and you may be surprised, but many people want to help others, they just don't know of opportunities to do so. We have many - so give them some.

4 different needs were just outlined above - something for everyone. Pick one. If you are a foster-match for either kitty above or the Emergency Foster Room need above, fill out a foster application at www.milwaukeepetsalive.org/foster

WE'RE A SPECIAL NEEDS, NOT A SPECIALTY-BREED, RESCUE.

So it leaves us a little perplexed, and honestly, quite sad, when our animals that "look" like a fancy breed get tons of organic help/shares/etc, and our special needs and considerations animals, who don't look fancy - who are the reason for our being - don't get even a fraction of that attention.

Again, we so love that everyone came out to support our Brady & Minka - twice - and we didn't have to pay to boost their posts because they got so much help for their foster needs without us needing to do so (and we didn't have the money to do so), but what hurts is that our other beautiful animals in need - Sweetie Pie, and Meg who we want to help - have been sitting waiting for fosters for over a year and almost a year respectively. They don't get but a handful of shares (so how are they going to reach someone who would fall in love with them?). We don't understand this.

Brady & Minka were rescued by us (from the same house that Sweetie Pie was) because of where they came from (a hoarder house) and how that can impact animals living in those circumstances for so long (they lived there for 10 years). We didn't rescue them for the way they look. And let us be very clear. They are not purebred. They came from a hoarder house. Case in point that a Siamese cat doesn't have to be purebred, our undersocialized kitty Baba, who I was the caretaker for in my backyard, she came to us with 3, 8 week old kittens, and 3 more kittens in her belly - both litters had one Siamese in each litter (Tofu - a lynx point in one, and Pip, a seal point in the other). Baba is solid black. Her other 2 kittens in her first litter were black. And the other 2 kittens in her second litter was one black and one tabby. Baba carried the Siamese gene to produce a Siamese in 2 different litters (pretty sure I saw the dad of her second litter because her kids look just like him - and he was a tabby). I really, really, pray that our community is not so superficial that they will only rally around what society has shallowly defined as "pretty" animals (specialty breed-looking animals, cats with blue eyes, etc), and not the special needs and considerations animals that are just regular colors - and might not have any eyes at all like Sweetie Pie, because if that's the case, you are missing out on the true beauty in life. Our animals - just the plain ones - are so gorgeous.

If you are here for the right reasons - to help us help the animals with special needs and considerations that would be killed if brought to one of the local kill shelters - then show us. Show us with your actions on every plea and help us get these animals the foster homes they have been waiting so long for.

Today, we are looking for your help to find the most amazing person for our most phenomenal little blind girl, Sweetie Pie.

Sweetie Pie is 8 1/2 years old, and as you might be able to see, she just loves to be held and cuddled. I stopped by her temporary foster home and was talking to her temp foster mom, "Auntie Jeanne" and this is how Sweetie Pie hung out with us while we talked (after a good play sesh first).

We thought Jeanne's home would be a very temporary landing spot for Sweetie Pie - we had lined up a foster for her when we had to get her and Brady & Minka out of the hoarder house...and her foster backed out on her hours before we had to rescue them. Jeanne stepped in so we didn't have to leave Sweetie Pie behind, but her whole home is not a match for her so she's just in a room there. When we met Sweetie Pie we could instantly tell just how incredible she is so we thought this would be such a brief layover at her house because we would have people lined up to be her regular foster. We don't have any foster applications for her as of this writing.

She is the total package. Over the past 14 years, we've heard most people talk about their dream of a lap cat (whereas most cats aren't). Sweetie Pie is. She's a lap cat, a cuddle-bunny, a "spoon" (she'll spoon in your arm when you sleep), and a best friend to hold. She will purr when you give her attention or even just talk to her. She just wants to be loved and loved on.

Just because she's blind, don't think all she does is sit and cuddle all day though - she loves to play and is an EXPERT on playing soccer with you with her favorite toys - her springs and balls! She can even run and chase them by herself, but she loves company, and would rather be playing with you.

She also loves to sit on her window perch in a sunny window and listen to the songs of the birds and crickets serenading her from it. It's how she sees the world. A symphony that she sees.

Sweetie Pie is perfection - and she deserves the same for the past she has had to endure (can you imagine living in a hoarder house...but also being blind)?

We are looking for a regular foster for her at this time (so we can assess her long term needs in a full home - something we can't assess from one room of a home - but most of our foster homes (upwards of 95%), because we make the right placements, adopt their foster animal (and we always give priority to those who opened their heart and home to our animals in their time of need - the definition of a foster). The person(s) who help Sweetie Pie are going to be so blessed by her, but she also needs some things to live her best life. Animal-human relationships are always a 2-way street and this is what our precious-peanut needs to flourish:

Sweetie Pie is seeking a quiet, peaceful, tranquil, low-key foster home with an individual or couple who are established in their life and residence to give her the stability and predictability blind cats need to thrive. That residence should be located in a quiet neighborhood. Sweetie Pie is very sensitive to sound. Sound can be enriching and fulfilling to her - like her birds, bugs, and wildlife friends that are a must for her to enjoy daily from a window in her regular foster home, but other sounds are irritating and over-stimulating to her - so a home in a dense urban area - like a downtown, a busy road/street, or complex/community living (apartments/multifamily dwellings) would not be the right match for her. Snuggles, attention, and affection are a must - so her human(s) must have desire and time to spend doing these things with her everyday!

Sweetie Pie needs a home with no dogs, and we think would prefer to be someone's one and only animal (she really loves being the center of attention - and deserves that after a life full overwhelm and excess), but we will consider a home with the most laid back, chill, male, super-senior cat (mid-to-late teens) who at most might enjoy a nap together or hanging out in the window together and that we can ensure would be gentle with her.

All of our fosters must be located in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Kenosha, Ozaukee, and Racine counties.

I liken that this AMAZING kitty waiting so incredibly long for someone in a community of 2 million people to fall head over heels for her to a diamond that has fallen into the cracks of the sidewalk on a New York City street. How many people walk over it daily unnoticed? But one day, someone catches the sparkle out of the corner of their eye. It's someone who is not so consumed with and in themselves to miss the gifts right under their nose. They see the diamond. They get the prize everyone else missed but was just as much in front of them. The right person will finally notice Sweetie Pie, and oh, the joy they will BOTH have. Help us find them.

If you ARE "them" (the person we just described), go to www.milwaukeepetsalive.org/foster and return a foster application before someone else finally sees our sparkly gem...and you miss out because you waited to long.

Sweetie Pie will find her person faster if you help her. Press share. Or talk to someone you know that we are talking about that she needs.

Questions will not be answered in the comments - our social media admins don't have answers about our animals, or our programs - they just monitor the page - so if you leave one there, it won't be answered (or they may delete it to try to get you to follow directions). We're all volunteers here - help everyone out and follow instructions from the jump. If after reading this post you still have questions, email our Foster Team at [email protected]

29 DAYS TO FIND A FOSTER HOME (AFTER LOOKING FOR 300 + ALREADY) AND STILL, ABSOLUTE SILENCE. WHO'S GOING TO BE THE HERO WHO ISN'T GOING TO LET MEG SPEND ANOTHER WINTER OUTDOORS?

We correspond with some other special needs and considerations rescues across the U.S. that serve the same population of animals we do, and share the same philosophy. One of these rescues on the west coast emailed us over the weekend, in just utter disbelief that no one with a young boy cat, after 320 days, with another winter looming, won't step up to foster Meg. One of their leaders said, "We have people message us all the time saying they wish someone was doing what we were doing, and helping who we were helping in their community and I thought of you - you're doing what so many people wish for, but your community doesn't support you. It is one of the saddest things I've seen. What a loss for the animals you could be helping if only people would be helping you."

We couldn't have tapped out all the quiet homes in a community of 2 million people. Impossible. There has to be one person who has what Meg needs that can't look at her and not want to help her.

Meg, the undersocialized mom to our under-socialized Nani and Lilo, thought she was going to be getting a quiet foster home like they got last October - and so did we. But she's still waiting. Meg, like her kid before we got them, has never been in a home. Her caretaker has earned her trust and started socializing her, now the missing puzzle piece is the right home (which is important for her to succeed) to give her the chance that cats like her only dream of. You can really be a hero if you have it. The opportunity of a lifetime for YOU - which is so surprising we don't have foster applications coming in on the regular to help cats like Meg because there aren't many such important opportunities to save a life, and change one, like we offer to cats that would be killed if brought to shelters. Can you look into her eyes and then look away like you didn't see her?

For all those that aren't a match for her, we're calling on you, too - we need everyone seeing this to share this. We don't need you to tell us you aren't a fit or you would help - that doesn't help - but getting this need out with 29 days left to find a foster home to everyone you can does.

Meg is looking for a quiet, peaceful, calm adult-only foster home with an individual or couple who would describe themselves as they do their home and enjoy a serene homelife. We are looking for a home with no dogs. While Meg could do fine in a home with no other animals at all, we would love to utilize such a home for our Sweetie Pie who we think would prefer such an environment, whereas our undersocialized ones actually prefer a properly paired resident kitty-friend - to show them the ropes, to emulate to build courage, and to have fun doing cat things with! For Meg, such a buddy would be a young (because she's young), playful, welcoming, fun-loving, happy, and curious male cat or two. Meg's foster, like all of MPA's fosters, must reside in the counties of Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Kenosha, or Racine that we serve.

Meg will change your life if you change hers - an amazing bond is formed between our undersocialized ones and their foster parent(s). Here's your chance. Go to www.milwaukeepetsalive.org/foster and return a foster application to make a difference.

If your questions were not answered in this post and you still have some, you must email our Foster Team at [email protected]

Share if you aren't a match. You could play a part in changing Meg's world, too, if you lead us to the incredible person that will finally help her.

GIVING SUNDAY *AFTER DARK EDITION* FOR TINY BISCUITS!!! PLEASE HELP US RAISE THE $363.44 DEFICIT BETWEEN OUR MONTHLY DONOR CONTRIBUTIONS AND WHAT WE SPEND EACH MONTH ON TINY BISCUITS CARE! www.milwaukeepetsalive.org/donate

Hello everyone! Sorry this is late, but maybe we'll get more eyes after everyone has settled in after their busy Sunday.

As we've mentioned, our recurring monthly donors, who's gifts total $144 combined each month, cover our monthly recurring costs - which we applied to our very special girl, Tiny Biscuits' care. Those monthly recurring donations almost completely cover the pharmaceuticals she takes for hydrocephalus...but they don't cover the holistic care we provide her to address an intestinal lymphoma diagnosis she was given in April. Her total monthly repeat "medicine" costs (both drugs, and traditional, holistic medicines) cost $507.44 (we do other things for her as well that don't run out every 30 days so those aren't included in that number), so we are short almost $370 every month.

We recently made a plea for supporters who would like to help us care for Tiny Biscuits by becoming a monthly donor, but unfortunately, no one joined our pack so we need to raise the $370 until we do have more monthly donors' support (and we just purchased all of her meds over the past week).

We welcome anyone who would like to become a monthly recurring donor to do so tonight, or, just make a one-time donation to Biscuits' - you actually can do both right on our website linked at the top (if you want to make your donation recurring, just check the box indicating such - that's it - you don't have to do another thing to donate monthly without thinking about it!). Your 1-time donations are just as appreciated as well and hopefully enough people see this before they go to bed (or tomorrow morning) and we can raise what we need for the one, the only, Tiny Biscuits. Every dollar matters to this precious baby - every donation helps us provide the superior care we do to our animals with special needs like Tiny Biscuits.

Tiny Biscuits' is posing with one of her plant medicines, Heal full spectrum C*D, from C*D Dog Health that she takes twice a day, every day. C*D works on the endocannabinoid system - the body's master system - and possibly the most important adaptogen (which adapts to what each body needs) to bring the body to homeostasis. For Tiny Biscuits, that's strengthening her immune system. And interesting fact, C*D is not dosed by weight of the animal, but condition you are using it for. C*D Dog Health's founder worked with us to put together a plan just for Tiny Biscuits which we are so grateful for the support and guidance.

We would also be so grateful for your support to help us continue providing these amazing plant medicines to Tiny Biscuits - that help and don't harm. We can't do this important work without you! Please consider a donation tonight!

08/30/2026

32 DAYS NOW TO FIND MEG A FOSTER HOME - NO APPLICATIONS. IT'S GONE COMPLETELY SILENT. EVERYONE READING THIS SHOULD CARE AND HELP - EITHER IF YOU ARE WHO SHE NEEDS BY APPLYING TO FOSTER HER, OR IF YOU'RE NOT, SHARING HER NEED SO SHE FINDS HER HERO.

The undersocialized cats of this community (and this world)? They don't matter to most. But they matter to us - which is why we created this organization - to help the ones that the rest of the world turns their backs on - because to us, every life is truly precious. And if you're here, the undersocialized ones should have your heart. We'd rather have 100 followers who work so hard getting the needs of our animals out there to find more people who have what they need to succeed and to whom their lives are important, than 9,000 followers who just watch us day after day ask for the same help that goes unfulfilled. We're not the rescue who every week posts, "Look at these orange fluffy kittens we just rescued!" - if that's what you're looking for, we're not for you. We are here to fill a void for the ones with special needs and considerations who are the most magnificent beings among us - and the selfless, most incredible members of the community who flock towards them. We serve a population that so few rescues do, and those that do, are a magnet for the best-of-the-best people in that community - the ones with the biggest of hearts. We wish this community had more people that care about the animals we serve like other communities (many much smaller than ours). So many will die needlessly until we do receive more support - because we can only help as many as we have support for - which isn't many as it stands today.

If you have the quiet home Meg needs where she will thrive, you could save a life. How many people over the past 319 days we have been seeking a foster home for her have had what she needs and just ignored her. We shutter to think of how many. Her need has had hundreds of thousands of views in that time. Maybe today will be the day that someone says, I can't sit and watch her out there trying to survive by herself - I will help. We can only hope.

Her chances of finding that selfless human who cares increases exponentially by the number of people who share her need. The need still exists even though its Saturday (even though the interaction on our page, sadly comes to almost a complete halt Friday - Sunday). She's still out there in the rain. So share. And we know that many of you know someone who we are describing Meg needs. Talk to them. Many people want to do meaningful things in their lives they just don't see many opportunities to do so. Give them one. Her name is Meg.

Meg is a 2 1/2 year old girl who has lived her entire life outdoors. She is the mom to our undersocialized girls Nani and Lilo who are living safe and loved indoors because someone who had what they needed stepped up to foster them. Meg is still waiting for such a kind person to help her. Her caretaker, who befriended her, earned her trust, and started her socialization outdoors gave her the chance at a better life by caring. Now all we're missing is a caring person to foster her and give her the opportunity at a home.

As an undersocialized kitty, the following environment is critical for her success. If you have it, be an angel. Apply to foster her at www.milwaukeepetsalive.org/foster - if you don't, again, share until we reach someone that does:

Meg is looking for a serene, calm, quiet adult-only home with an individual or couple who are gentle, patient, and understanding, and want to truly make a difference in the life of another. There should be no dogs in the home. While Meg would do well in a home with no other animals at all, we actually would prefer a home with a young, playful, outgoing, fun-loving, inquisitive, and friendly male cat or two who can help show her the ropes of being in a home, and be a friend and companion to her to do all the fun cat things with - play with toys, cuddle and nap together - and give her confidence to be the girl she was born to be!

All of our fosters must be located in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha, or Ozaukee counties. This is the area our all-volunteer organization serves. If you live outside this area and want to help, share her plea! Shares in general help the algo. If you want to foster, we hope you'll consider a cat just like Meg in your own community - there are so many like her that need a caring human.

If you have questions, you MUST email [email protected] - our Foster Team is not on social media - they're busy helping our animals. So if you leave questions in the comments, we'll know you didn't read this far, and our admins will refer you back to the post to read it (where your question is likely already answered) and to follow directions.

"I would totally foster, but I have a female cat"

These are the only comments we get on all of our foster pleas. It doesn't matter what we are looking for in a home for an animal in need - only those that have the opposite reply that they would help. We have had kitties that would do okay or would benefit from a female resident cat companion - and of course, at that time, people only have male cats. Funny how that happens. It's sad we live in a society where those that are called on to help look the other way. We haven't evolved from those primary school days when if you look down at the floor, then maybe the teacher won't call on you.

We still have 2 cats in need of foster that need either no other animals in the home, or a male cat companion (or two), but for all you "I-would-foster-but-I-have-a-female-cat" people, we actually CAN use your help. We fully integrate our foster animals into their foster homes as full members of the family (which is why we look for specific things to match the needs of our animals). We don't use a "Foster Room" model of rescue. But we get so many people reaching out to us about either special needs or considerations cats that we know we are their only, or best chance, but have to say no because it takes a PAINFULLY long time to fill any of our open foster needs, we are seeking Emergency Foster Rooms (a spare bedroom or office that can be dedicated to a foster animal) to have on standy so we can at least get those animals safe (because when we are contacted about a need, its time sensitive and needs action immediately - not months from when someone asks).

We still only consider animals that fit the niche-population we serve (special needs, medical, aged, scared, differently-abled), and as such, they will not do well in high activity, chaotic, loud, with screaming-kids home environments (the reason they're killed in shelters) - even if they are in a room - they shut down and often won't eat (which is imminent death for a cat) - it doesn't work - so we still need quiet, tranquil, preferably adult-only homes (though homes with mature, calm older children (teens) may be okay), and we prefer no dogs for the noise reasons mentioned above unless there is a senior dog or dog that doesn't bark because most of the inquiries we get are to help undersocialized cats that just won't tolerate the barking of a predator from another room. BUT (listen up all you female-cat-parents), because our kitties are going to be separated from and not interact with your resident cats, you can have any age, female or male, etc. - it doesn't matter. You can help like you said!

We have asked for Emergency Foster Room Fosters MANY times recently and have not had any applicants, so we hope all those "my home's not a fit or I would help" will actually help now. Our admins are going to refer people that comment such to this post that we will pin on the top of our page so they can follow through with what they say...and help an animal in need.

Our Emergency/Standby Foster Room Fosters are still fosters, so you must complete the same foster application process as any foster does. You can find our foster application here: www.milwaukeepetsalive.org/foster We need a foster app in hand to consider anyone for fostering.

And as with all of our fosters whom we work closely with to serve the special population we do (so must be relatively close so we can access our animals, and you our vet clinics), you must reside in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Kenosha, or Racine counties.

Still have questions? Our Foster Team are the ones who have the answers (not our FB admins) - email them at [email protected]

If you have said you would help but you have a female cat (for all these months we've been seeking homes with either no animals or a male cat), we really hope you meant what you said because we need your help now. We can't wait to receive your foster application.
