| Can he not live with you anymore because of tenant or landlord issues? Allergies? Or is he a horrible monster who claws your neck every morning like my cat? |

| I don't really understand why everyone is so concerned with why I'm giving him away. There's various personal reasons, and he just needs a new home. He's not sick or disabled and you're certainly not going to show up only to be handed a dead cat. |

| Lemme guess...you are one of these foreigners that got lonely here and decided that a cat would be the perfect cure...for one year. Now, after all the love and everything this cat has given you, you just want to dump it onto the next foreigner to relieve you of that commitment. You adopt an animal, hey, you make a commitment. Why can't you take the cat back home with you? If you work here, then you make more than enough to pay for its transport home. For god's sake, just don't release it outside(big time bad karma for you). People, do NOT adopt an animal here in Korea unless you are willing to take care of it for life. It is a commitment for life, not one year. |

Exactly. It's a cat, not a human child. |

I don't get this mentality. Regardless of the OP's actual situation, I think this debate needs to be had.
Why does one need to adopt an animal forever? Aren't many of them going to be euthanized anyways? Or just let out on the streets? Isn't a temporary home better than no home at all? So I take a cat for one year and then try to find it a better home once my situation changes. I'm a horrible person? For fostering an animal that would have been homeless otherwise? It's not like there's a lack of animals to adopt and a surplus of caregivers. I'm not depriving the animal of a long-term home by taking it in. A stable life in a loving home, for however short a period of time, is better than the pound or the streets any day. |

Fostering and adopting/buying are not the same.
Fostering is agreeing to take care of an animal with the intent and agreement with relinquishing it when a permanent home is found or when the agreed upon time has expired. This is something that one set-ups with an animal shelter such as shindogs.org or koreananimals.or.kr
Buying or adopting is for the life of the animal. It is your promise, as a decent human being, to the animal and society, to provide food, shelter, medical care, and love for its entire life, and not for the life of the Englishee contract.
If OP took this animal in on his/her own accord with the intent of finding it a home, but has not in the time, then we need to cut her/him some slack.

So by your definition people need to chill out...
I think the only difference is how you call it, anyways. What if I don't go through an adoption agency? What if some guy on an internet forum needs to find a home for his cat and I step up and offer to take it for a few months and work on finding a better home in the meantime? Of course it's best to find a permanent home, but hell people, why discourage those who want to care for an animal that needs a home, for however short a period of time?
What if these shelters loosened up their adoption guidelines? A one or two year adoption should be fine. The argument for a permanent home or none at all is fine for buying an animal, but for adoption? It still doesn't quite make sense to me... |
