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 ❤️

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!

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 ❤

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!

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.

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.

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.

Crust Muppet is THEE funniest nickname for our sweet Chou! So happy he’s officially now with his forever family, right where he belongs. 😂❤

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. 😻😻😻

Looks like everyone who meets ChouChou falls in love with him. 🥰

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 🤍🤍🤍

Imagine your whole life with congested nose and constantly drying out throat due mouth breathing, it is how I picture life as a persian cat. And it is just a small part of their most common life conditions.

Most adorable cat i ever saw was a non pure bred calico with long hair. RIP Princess we miss you

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.

Congratulations, Andrew! It’s so wonderful when you can give your forever cat a forever home.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I get that some times we call these "foster fails" (as a term of endearment, of course), but this is the furthest from a "fail" as you can get.

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.

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. 🥹❤️

My long haired cat loves it after getting shaved. She prances and dances around the house.

I couldn't be happier for the three of you! Chouchou will be a great mentor to all your future fosters. Well done, Andrew!

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 got weepy watching Andrew's original adoption reveal! Honestly they were just destined to be together. All the happiness to all of you!

I love that you guys take "goodbye is the goal" so seriously and only bring the most medically volunerable kitties into your family so that you can give them the best home for his needs. Welcome to the fam chouchou!!

Am I the only one that thought Andrew had a twin that no one knew about??? Probably I'm the only one that thought that but super happy!!!!🎉❤

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!! ❤❤

Freshly groomed Chouchou looks like he's ready to go to a rave!

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. ❤

Preach! I simply cannot fathom how breed standards persist purely based on looks and because 'that's how it's meant to be' and I can't fathom how people *know* these medical problems exist and STILL go out and get said breed.

My shock when I heard the adoption news was that you hadn't already adopted him. He already seemed like such a part of your family!

And here I thought the bromance you didn’t want to split up was Chou and Fergie! Kidding aside, I’m glad that Chou is with someone who knows his medical history and conditions very well. And we know he’s a good uncle to the fosters, helping them learn their kitty manners.

Of course Chouchou is staying with his mommy!!! You’re like two peas in a pod!!!

I fostered a persian and totally agree with you. They have been criminally over-bred and, as adorable as they are, they face a lifetime of health challenges. Please do not support unscrupulous breeders by buying a persian kitten.

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.

So, so glad Chouchou is staying with the two of you! There are no better parents to find.

My wife and I have foster failed after giving extensive care to a couple of sick kittens. We love them and just could not say goodbye.

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 confess, there are baby pictures of Chouchou on my phone.❤ Makes me really happy that you’re going to keep him and take care of him. Congratulations to all of you.

He has had such a rough life. Thank God you were there to help him along.

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 🥺

So glad this adorable little floofy guy has his forever family with Andrew and Hannah.

I think I like chouchou when he’s shaved ❤❤

WoooHooo! Happy homecoming!!! Oh we see.....you are putting Chouchou to work as an employee....free labor for the newbie fosters..lol

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'! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

I'm so glad. Certainly there are plenty of good capable adopters out there, but you'd always worry about him.

Chouchou just won the adoption lottery. He could not have went to a better home.

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.

I had the feeling he'd be your kitty. He's just so special and sweet, like his brother Fergie.

That's so true about flat faced animals. Our horse vet was out the other day and he said English bulldogs are known in his business as "a vet's best friend" because they're constantly having medical issues.

There are certain cats who come into your life and are so special, like Fergie and Chou Chou, that I can't possibly imagine them not being a part of your life.

For a moment I thought Andrew has a twin and he adopted him… Congrats guys ❤

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! 🥰

You are the perfect parents for Chou Chou and now he can help educate others about the problems with intentionally breeding brachycephalic cats and dogs.

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.

I just started to be an animal foster home a couple months ago. Nothing's better than finding out one of your animals got adopted.

This was meant to be! Chouchou and Andrew are a perfect match 💗 I'm so happy for them!!!!

Chouchou is the sweetest cat and a special case. A lot of us had a feeling he was not going anywhere.

Nothing like the bond between a man and his cat. So cute

it's the "AND I'M YOUR WIFE" for me 😂 so happy for you all!!!

Congratulations! Sometimes a foster is meant to be adopted. So happy Andrew has his little buddy!

I don't think that Chouchou could have had a better forever home, to be honest. I was getting all ready to say hello on here to his new people, but I have to admit to some happy tars instead. Andrew, I'm sure you'll be the best cat Dad for Chouchou - you've got a proper little bromance going on there! Hannah, thank you for everything you've done for Chouchou since he came to you. You're spot on about Persians as a breed and I think it's awful that breeders and so-called breed standards call for these extreme deformities in companion animals. We used to have a Persian that used to be used as a stud Tom, then his breeder decided she wanted him as a pet, so she got him neutered and brought him indoors. But because he was bred with such a flat face he sounded like Darth Vader when he tried to breathe and the noise would annoy her, so she'd put him back outside in the cat run. After a while she'd feel guilty, bring him back in, then get sick of his breathing noises again and the cycle kept getting repeated continually. A friend of mine who is sadly no longer with us had been asking for him for a long time when the woman decided to give him up to my friend telling her he was fine with other cats, but when she got him home and into the room she used to introduce new cats to her existing ones from (it had a mesh door so everyone was safely separated) he launched himself at the mesh, all teeth, claws and spitting when one of her cats came to say hello. There was no way this cat could live with multiple other cats, so he came to live with us. From that moment on he became a house cat, living with our other cat, who was also a Persian, but not with such a drastically short face. He was never put outside for his noisy breathing again, but the poor thing was so screwed up that without provocation he would launch himself at people and sometimes our other cat, as they walked by - his eyes would literally turn from blue to red and he looked possessed. But he stayed with us until his last day on earth and we have his ashes with us, along with those of the two that came before him.

I am reminded of a story about a guy who is trying to fix pugs, as in he is trying to give them their nose back.

You guys are so sweet together, it’s so good that Chouchou has you both forever.

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.

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'm glad Chou gets to stay with both his human best friend as well as his cat one!

Honestly having to learn Chou's care first is such a smart move. I feel like that's the case with special needs animals- you need to vet that ppl can take care of them first. Bless Chou and Fergie, I love that you've added them to your pack.

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.👏👏👏

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.

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. 😂

I'm glad it had a happy ending.

What a gentle, spirited, lovely guy. Tragic that his breeding is causing him so many health issues.

Aww congrats on your forwever home Chouchou!

ChouChou is a fighter 😭♥️❤️🌟and he deserves all the love and care 🐾💖Congratulations ChouChou

In French, a chouchou means ‘your favorite.” Or “ your most loved”. I think his name fits him very well.

I've loved ChouChou ever since you showed him to us as a kitten. He definitely got adopted by the BEST people on the planet. Good job Chouie!!!

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...! 💖🐾
