For Cats. For Cat People.

For Good.

Failed Foster began with rescue—caring for colonies, fostering, and never saying goodbye.

This shop shares that life, and every purchase supports community cats and their caretakers.

Rooted in Rescue

I started with one cold, hungry cat — and never stopped helping. Every product supports my mission to care for cats in need.

Failed Foster started with one rescue cat in 2016 and somehow turned into four indoor cats, multiple outdoor colonies, and a life completely dedicated to helping cats who’ve been forgotten or left behind. I’m Marina — a longtime cat rescuer, TikTok sharer of the chaos, and creator of this shop for people who love cats a little too much (if that’s even a thing).

Whether you’ve fostered and failed, rescued and stayed rescuing, or just really love a good cat pun — you’re in the right place.

Love Cats? Me Too.

New drops, behind-the-scenes rescue life, and occasional emotionally-charged cat pics. You in?
