Lol. Ok so maybe not trolling.
While I commend you on your desire to adopt a stray animal. Unfortunately I don't think it will be feasible for you to save this cat in Thailand. However, if you are interested in saving a cat. Korea has many you could choose from. And since it is still freezing cold here (getting a little warmer though) you'd be doing them a great service.
I forget the name, but there are a number of cat shelters here. Perhaps asking the Buy Sell Forum you could get a quick response when you get back where to go to adopt one. |
^Agreed.
Cats in Thailand are pampered. They approach people. It would be happier there. They jump in anyone's lap so it's not like there's some special bond there really.
Cats in Korea are mostly scorned. They usually avoid people. There are plenty of abandoned cats in need of homes here. They'll really appreciate being adopted and treated decently.
In general...There is a big difference in the way animals act in Thailand vs. how they act in Korea. Speaks volumes about how they are thought of and treated. |
I will keep that in mind. It is just that I would like to adopt a cat who has been properly socialized among people as opposed to one who is scared to death of people. |
Got it. They can certainly be found here. Check out Animal Rescue Korea (pretty sure thats the name). Lots of great cats there in desperate need of a good home. You may have to travel out of Seoul to get the one you want, but lots are in Seoul too.
A cat that has been rescued is often very likely to be even sweeter eventually since it appreciates being given a second chance at having a home. Whereas a cat that was always pampered might just take it for granted and expect good treatment always. (Ok, I'm being too anthropomorphic maybe, but it's probably semi-true)
Good luck! |

| I'm not sure if this is still a regulation or not but when I brought my dog to Korea his Rabies vaccination has to be given 6 months or more prior to him entering Korea. Since your cat's Rabies vaccination would be at most a few weeks old, your cat would have to spend the rest of the time in quarantine. I guess that would be as many as 5 months? That's not kind to do to any animal. |
