The segment about no cat NEEDING to suffer from these human-chosen conditions was really important and well-done. Best of wishes to y'all and the Chouster ❤
Man I'm so relieved! Just the thought of him leaving your care made me feel kinda nauseous, I can't imagine how it must have affected Andrew and you. He's always been Home.
Love the way that the persian cat stuff was addressed. We as humans need to stop breeding animals purely for aesthetics, but the medically challenged animals that we do have right now deserve to be loved and cared for by people who understand their needs. Not just those who want a "cute" animal. Love that Chouchou has his forever home with yall! 🎉
I think Chouchou is cute, but on the whole I've never liked the "squashed face" look and I'm not sure why the hell people breed for that, especially when it causes so much distress for the animals involved. I've never understood it. But yes, thank you, the animals that are already here deserve happy loving homes ❤️
So sad they’re doing this to cats as well. Humans have messed up so many dogs already. Now the squished faces and the short legs are becoming “fashion” for cats too… it’s just upsetting.
Yes and people keep on doing it. Now there are cats with short legs squashed noses and crumpled ears! It nauseates me that people swoon over them and call themselves cat lovers!
I don’t think Chouchou is a foster fail, I think Andrew was just the best adopter for him. So happy that he gets to live his best life with all of you!
The term "foster fail" simply means any foster animal that ends up staying with their foster caregiver That's just the recognized term for it. It doesn't actually imply an actual "failure" on anyone's part.
ChouChou won the jackpot. Going form being abandoned with a severe, life threatening defect to becoming a permanent resident and volunteer of the Orphan Kitten Club family. I am so happy Andrew decided to say something.
I had already assumed you foster failed Chouchou, but when Andrew announced he was adopting him, I cried (with happiness) anyway. You have given Chou such a gift. I am so happy for him and for your family 🤍🥰
Chouchou wouldn't have been an easy cat to adopt out even just for his medical issues and long term health maitenance so it's good that he's with Andrew and Hannah have got him as a permanent member of the family
I was about to get MAD. He’s already bonded with you. Glad to hear you are keeping him at this point as you have had him for a long time and he loves you so much
[Quran:- 5:72]:- “Jesus has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." [Quran:- 19:30]:- “Jesus has said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet.” [Quran:- 4:171]:- “Christ Jesus the son of Mary was no more than a messenger of Allah…..So believe in Allah and His messengers. Say not "Trinity" desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah:
Just two weeks ago I showed my husband a video of Chouchou and predicted that he will most likely be a foster fail 😻 So happy you guys are keeping him ❤
I'm also a foster fail. I have now 10 cats and I love them all their love they share with me and I share with them 💕. Love you all bunches you're videos and books have taught me so much 💗
It's so hard to let babies go after I raised them from 3 days old I can't help but to fall in love with them, so on July 22nd I received a litter of 5 kittens, on September 13th they went to an adoption center on the 14th of September they got neutered yep they were all boys, so on the 16th I visited them and they all remembered me but one of the boys was not letting me go he wasn't right I knew it and this broke my heart. So on the 17th I adoption him , at the time he got neutered he weighted 2.20 pounds that was on the 14th of September, on the 17th I weighted him and he lost so much weight he was down to 1.12 pounds. I was really pissed, hurt, angry cuz I gave the agency food and plates to feed them I told them to use 2 plates so they could all eat cuz some of the boys would push the other ones out. Well today I had my little boy vet checked he is gaining his weight back he is back up to 2 pounds. They said to just keep an eye on him. Make sure he is acting like a kitten which he is and eating good. I figured out he is only around 9 weeks old but at the time he got neutered they said 10 weeks 6 days humm clearly I told the agency the day I received the kittens and at that time they were only 3 to 4 days old. The good thing that has happened is that all the kittens got adopted through pet smart, but your right when you know there are medical issues with a kitten you can't help not to fall in love with that baby. So I will be taking little man in next month back to the vet and hopefully everything will be better and his weight will be good cuz as it stands now he is under weight.
Thank you for spreading awareness for brachycephalic breeds!! Our Himalayan passed after a life long battle with health issues and all anyone would focus on was how cute he was, not the reality of his regular care. Happy adoption Chou!!!
@@heatherthefireislefairy5469Still, don't buy bred cats when there are so so many cats that really need a home in the shelters or in rescue groups. Also, fix your cats. Creating more cats, means more cats will never find a home and will consecutively suffer.
Please make the 'you shouldn't get a Persian' section into a youtube short to spread the message about brachycephalic animals like him! There was a Persian cat at the animal centre I volunteered at and I had to keep watching her as I stroked her head to reassure myself she had a whole head, because my hand was telling me that's a cat with half a head.
It makes me happy that Chou is staying with a loving family that knows him and all his medical history. He couldn't have gotten luckier -- and neither could Andrew.
I'm so, so glad tbh. No one else is quite as qualified to address Chouchou's unique needs as you are. He'll have a long and happy life despite all the challenges he's faced because he has two such dedicated and knowledgeable humans to help him through everything
The “adopt don’t shop” message is effective. My mom, who was so insistent about getting a purebred Persian kitten in the past, now has a rescue Persian who sneezes everywhere but is sooooooo sweet.
Im glad that fluffy marshmallow is a permanent member of your family. Ferguson needs someone to be weird with and Coco needs someone to be a boss over but also a friend...but more boss...its an older siblings job you know...lol.
Fergie and Chou being medical needs cat advocates makes this channel a perfect home for them. Hannah and Andrew have the knowledge and resources to tend to them better than anyone. It's a perfect fit!
I'm so glad you kept our beloved, magnificent wonder poof! He was meant to be with you guys! Also, Hannah, you really landed yourself a good one with Andrew.❤
Yes, I myself was thinking about what a handsome couple they make and the gifts they bring to the table compliment each other and the animal world, specifically cats and kittens, so well!
Truthfully, because you fostered him so long, I thought that you just integrated him into your family without any fanfare. When you announced that Andrew adopted Chou, I was happy but not surprised. Have a great life Chou Chou, you’re with the best family. 😻😻😻
Yes!!! This video announcement kinda broke my heart and I’m legitimately relieved that Chouchou is staying home with his parents. I don’t think of Chouchou as a foster fail because he’s been part of your family for so long, and starting at such a young age. Removing him at this point feels cruel. Thanks to Kitten Lady, I now know how awful breading flat faced cats and dogs is for their quality of life.
Chou is truly a perfect addition to the silly boy squad y'all have going 😂 He had to make sure you all got the proper quantity of white fur everywhere, Boss Lady Eloise left very precise notes 🤍🤍🤍
This is how it went with my Joanna too. I rescued her from an abusive home, and we bonded quickly. Plan was to take her to a shelter because I live with my parents, and they didn't want a cat. When I went to the shelter to try to get them to take her, it hurt my heart. Turns out they were full, and then turns out the parents fell in love with her too. So she stayed with us and now owns us.
It's always so funny when a cat activates their hunting instincts xD. As a rescuer myself, the hardest thing is not taking care of the cat, is coming to terms that they have to go one day. Finding an appropriate adopter is also quite difficult, because if one of them turns bad, you feel responsible for choosing the wrong person. I'm really happy you decided to keep that adorable snowball. A bond with a cat is truly special. I have lived with a Turkish Angora cat for 9 years now and he truly is my best friend.
Chou is definitely in the best place possible for him and his medical needs. I have always deeply respected how hard you guys stick to "adoption is the goal" that I know whenever a fail does happen, it's for the best for everyone. That and he's just SO good with all the babies, it's like he was born to be a foster parent along with you guys.
Congratulations on being an adoptive father, Andrew! I always thought your first fur child for life would be a calico, but you and Chouchou are nonetheless a great pair. And Hannah's a perfect forever mom for Chouch, too! I'm so glad that Chouchou will never be an adoption fail! He deserves a forever home as much as any cat does.
So happy that Chouchou overcame such a difficult start in his life and that he's bringing joy to his hoomans, the resident cats and the fosters from all species 💜🐾
I had a kitten with cleft palate. It unfortunately passed away after a day of life, but I love seeing success stories' for kittens with the same condition as my little Mystery.
I know the goal is goodbye when it comes to fostering, but if Chuchu fits, so seamlessly into your lives every day I think that warrants a exception congrats!! ❤❤
YALL GOT ME CRYING OVER HERE FOR 🌟NOTHING🌟???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤧 I'm happy to hear he's staying. I could only imagine how l hard letting him go would have been. 🥹❤️
From seeing parts of their videos with Chouchou. It seems to me that he already had a forever home with the two peoples who care about him deeply. He can help out with taking care of the kittens. He seems to enjoy spending time with them. Thank you for spending that message Hannah. Everyone needs to know the risk of doing this kind of breeding.
There is a saying in Finland: a loved child has many names (rakkaalla lapsella on monta nimeä). When you gave us all Chouchous nicknames, it made me think of that. He is clearly loved by both of you. Congratulations to your whole family.
I'm so glad Chouchou gets to have a wonderful home with you both. I know the fluffball will never replace Eloise, but in my opinion, any new cat you welcome into your home whether foster or permanent, truly they help you heal after such a loss. It just helps so much. ❤
No need to make excuses! You two have invested SO MUCH into this cat. He clearly has a big role in helping to welcome fosters, that's a super power right there. Andrew you did great! You NEED your OWN cat! It would be criminal to break these two apart. HURRAY EVERYBODY WINS 🎉🎉🎉
He’s been with you for so long of course you’d get attached. I’m so glad for you and your future fosters. Chouie is great with the kitties and will help them feel safe and loved. Happy adoption day Chou Chou!🎉
Whew! I'm so happy, ChoChou isn't going anywhere!! I'm thankful that you described the extent of care Persians require. Big commitment! So.....Congratulations Andrew! You're such an amazing awesome fellow ~ and you deserve your own 'beardcat'! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
PHEW! You had me going for a minute. He's in the most perfect place possible. So is Chouchou! His story is really about the miracle of love plus -- Chouchou is completely adorable! Yay! xx
I'm so happy the little cloud has adopted Andrew! I had been thinking how Fergie would cope without his pal. So pleased that he has the best home to look after all his needs.
Chouchou went through so much with you by his side that it just makes sense that he's a foster fail. The warning you gave is really important because the reason why chouchou went through so much is the improper breeding of these fluffy beings. I'm really glad chouchou was lucky to find you, not all of them are this lucky 🥺
Happy Sunday Hannah & Andrew. I remember the first day you told us about Chouchou. I just thought that's the way a Persian cat was facial wise. I didn't know that it was because of breeding. So a HUGE thank you for sharing that knowledge with me. 👍👍 As for the adoption notice by Andrew the first time. I just started bawling my eyes out. 😭😭 But, when Andrew came into the shot saying he was the adopter. Those tears went from sadness ones to joyful tears of happiness. You could see in all the pics of the two of them. How close they had become. So when you introduced the adopter again in this Vlog Hannah. And in stepped Andrew. Even though I knew already. Those happy tears started flowing again. 😉 BIG CONGRATULATIONS to the both of you for expanding your family again. You can see that Chouchou is just so happy with you and his fur siblings. And that's a beyond wonderful thing to see.👏👏👏
I also thought he looked like a Persian...from the front. When his head is shown profile (on this video & others)...wow, that is some EXTREME brachycephaly. His face looks completely flat (or even a bit concave in some shots).
Persian cats only exist because of breeding. It has nothing to do with being from there. Distinct domestic cat breed are only ever the result of human intervention. And it always has consequences.
Oh, sweet Eloise! How cosmic that this little white floofball Chouchou came along before she left you, and ended up being a (husband’s) foster fail! They truly choose us. 🤍 Thanks as always for the PSA about adopting, not shopping!
I’m so happy to hear that he’s staying with you. I’ve been following his progress and was concerned for his future. I’m sure as a foster you feel this way about all the kittens that you foster. However I do know that you absolutely love each one and make the very best choice for a forever family- you sure did by choosing Andrew as cat daddy! God Bless
I've always adopted my cats from the Humane Society, and they've always been tabbies. The adoption papers are thorough (and ask TONS of questions) at my local Humane Society... they really want their animals to be homed for keeps. So glad to hear Chouchou is already home, with you guys!! I'm sure he'll be sooo very happy! 🥰
I'm so glad he is staying with you. All the hardship he endured (all your worries and care) and all the troubles due to the breeders continuing along the flat nose is desirable nonsense! He has shown he can help with fosters too. One amazing little fellow and lovely to see Andrew and Chou being besties!
What a relief. In the beginning, I was thinking, how can they be so happy and excited? I'd be bawling an ocean. Glad that baby is staying where he belongs.
Having a foster be so integrated into your family would make it so hard to let them go. And sometimes you just know that they’re already home. So glad Chou Chou has officially adopted you guys. ❤ P.S. it truly is the defining pet owner experience for them to acquire a ton of nicknames, each one sillier than the last. 😂
Foster fails are the best! I had a long-haired black and white cat that lived til his 16th birthday. His name was Pharoah but his nickname was ShooShoo because he reminded me of Pepe Le Pew!! Have a wonderful life Chouchou!!!🤗💖🍀🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦 Our Sincere Sympathy on the sad loss of your precious Eloise. Love & comfort from Dobby 🐈🐾 and me.🌹😔🌹
Chouchou is a very lucky cat. If you haven't fostered him, he probably wouldn't have lived very long. He sure has won the kitten life lottery. And now he can live a long and happy life with Kitten Lord and Kitten Lady...! 💖🐾
Very good news. Y'all know Chouchou's needs so well and he and you both have bonded with him. He can be a mascot, a poster kitty, for special needs fosters and adoptions. He can also be an inspiration for vets, vet techs, and students who want into vet med. Very glad for y'all and for Chouchou. (haha, "mon petit chou" is a French term of endearment, even though literally it means "my little cabbage, Brussels sprout." Haha. And Choo-Choo Train is not a bad association either. Bless him, I'm glad he has such a good home.)
I wish we could find good solutions to heal and repair cleft palate and related issues. I knew at man who had a cleft palate and was older, so he had not gotten a good education, and he may have had cognitive impairment issues, I'm not sure, because his communications skills and education had been so poor. Knowing this is still a thing for kids, adults, and pets is a difficult thing. Better ways to heal how this condition presents in patients are needed, so people and pets can live better lives.
He's a wonderful boy but I don't think that takes away from it being horrible to breed animals for what amounts to a birth defect . I'm glad Chouchou is staying with you he needs humans who know how to manage a chronically ill cat.
How could it NOT be Andrew Marvellous news and I bet Chouchou is super happy to be staying at home with you guys and you know all his history and are best able to make sure he thrives going forward. Enjoy 🎉🎉
I kinda liked the idea of Hannah keeping that floofball around, if possible. He is a great reminder of what a difference dedication can make to a cat's life. Nice! Plus the name is divine.
Im so glad you discussed the health of flat faced cats. while i myself didnt have a persian i DID own a Himalayan. My childhood cat had many health issues like breathing,crust,as well as some other issues which he needed medication daily for (i do not remember what they were though i was super young and mainly focused on cuddling him and playing w him as a kid) ChouChou is such a sweet cat. And his needs will perfectly fitted with you guys,i’m incredibly happy to see him have a such a strong bond with andrew as well! keep up the fantastic kitten/cat work
I'm so glad you're keeping him. Yeah, every once in a while foster fails happen. It's okay. I'm so glad he gets to keep his bond with you two and your pets, and that he's with people who will care for his medical needs.
Thank God! This was meant to be. Chou Chou feels important there and he works hard. I am over the moon! Thank you so much. By the way, my first video was Ferguson. Both cats surprised all of us in so many wonderful ways. LOVE TO EVERY BEING IN YOUR HOME!!!❤❤😂
I found myself really invested in baby fluff muffin , and so glad he has found his forever family. I had a kitten (mixed Siamese/Persian ) with much the same personality. I had to give him up because the Persian in him made me severely allergic. It was heart breaking but the local Feral Cat Association, which at the time, I was a member - one of the ladies took him He loved to mother the kittens and help them adjust. She was so happy for her little buddy that helped her. He was in his element. It made giving him up not hurt so much, knowing he had his mission in life, and loving every minute of it. Tosca was a Lonnie tunes, high octane Siamese who did not walk- he bounced. A cuddle bug in the morning after waking me up to wash my face. His antics were epic. I still miss that orange tabby tornado who briefly lit up my life.
