I have a kitten I can no longer have and I will give him away free to a good home. He is healthy and playful but is not neutered, although I think he has his shots. He is about 7 months old I'd gather.

I will give you what cat toys I have plus a litter box and a cat carrier as well as a bag of food and litter to start you off.

I am never home and his staying with me was never ment to be a perm. thing.

PM me if interested. I live in the itaewon area. Near the station.

That site requires you "donate 100,000" to put a kitty there; 70,000 to adopt one. Rolling Eyes


Buildings, workers, immunizations, and neutering aren't free.

The women and volunteers who run Nabiya really care about the cats there and finding them a loving permanent home.
There are expenses like the above poster said like rent, food, vet bills etc..... for more than 20 cats..
It is totally justifiable to ask for a donation for giving or adopting a cat so that people are serious about their responsibility.
Unfortunately there's no SPCA in Korea Sad

Everyone has free cats for good homes, but nobody gives away free homes to good cats. It's not fair. Cool

I thought about getting a cat from Nabiya, but they only want PERMANENT homes. Seems odd that they don't want money and for people to pay for the pet for a year or two. I guess they don't want to get a bunch of old cats back later, but some of them have been there a while already.

Oh, and I don't think they declaw cats in Korea.

Hate to hijack this thread, its still sorta on topic though. Aside from good people like OP who are trying to find cats a home, is there any shelters or organizations that give animals away for free, as opposed to a mandatory donation?

I can't speak for the organization, but I'm pretty sure they do place animals in foster homes in certain situations. Obviously the person needs to be clear about his/her intentions and willing to part with the cat when a permanent home is found ... not wait "a year or two" when the cat has already become attached to the person and may be much harder to place because of his/her age. That's incredibly selfish.

I've heard of it happening, but the practice is controversial. Sometimes fraud artists turn around and sell their "adopted" animals for profit ... an adoption fee acts as a deterrent.

Too bad people out there are like that, because I'm sure it acts a detergent to people who would like an animal on a limited budget. That may also sound selfish, but I would love a kitten for example, but I already think I'd end up spending more than I can spare on feeding it and vet bills, which I'm willing to do, but I just don't think I could squeeze out another 80,000 for the adoption fee. Maybe someday, just saying now while I'm poor, that's all. I might imagine others would feel the same, but this is all in my humble opinion, so even if not, no biggy.
