I would have only one or maybe two cats & only foster one dog at a time. I want to make sure I can give each pet my attention. The last cat that owned me demanded a lot of time and affection. He was such a wonderful cat.
Make absolute sure never to foster a terrier breed (esp at JRT) if you want to wake up to alive cats in the morning.
It's said that some of us have a dog/cat-shaped place in our hearts. I adopt senior dogs so there is a lot of turnover but I wouldn't want to have missed knowing them just because I have to lose them.
I've normally gotten rescue animals, the exception being my last cat who was a barn cat. He practically climbed up my body to get to me. He was so like a human child. Will miss him forever.
Actually, every pet I've gotten has been from the Humane society, except for him.
I think I'm on speed dial for more than a few animal control officers and rescue people. At five dogs, my house is (about) full, although I've had more in the past. With seniors, there is a lot of attrition, and it seems to run in bunches.
I just got a 10-year-old Sheltie- a pedigree! who is severely pigeon-toed- just adorable- and an 11-year-old mini-Aussie he was raised with. Very sweet dogs.

Good for you,! Thank you for taking care of our furry friends.
I agree. We had two very personable, entertaining, cats. One lived for 18 years and passed away 2 years ago in December 15, 2013, the other lived 20 years and passed 1 1/2 weeks ago (December 13th, 2015). What a difference home feels like. I miss her and it's not the same. They sure make home feel like a home. It is hard to explain to non animal people.
From one cat lover to another so very sorry about the recent loss of your beloved cat. Just wanted to pass on a lovely book about a remarkable cat you may enjoy written by a doctor that I work with.
Making Rounds with Oscar by David Dosa, M.D.: The Extraordinary Gift of an Ordinary Cat is the story of a doctor who, at first, doesn't always listen; of the patients he serves; of their caregivers; and, most importantly, of a cat who teaches by example, embracing moments of life that so many of us shy away from.
My West Highland Terrier is perfectly fine with cats. He plays regularly with the neighbor cat until they both come for a drink at his bowl. Then they often lay on the deck side by side for a nap. He greets the cat at his groomer happily, and she often leaves him out to play after he's groomed. Now if you're a mouse that is a whole 'nother story!
