I'm leaving soon and need to find a home for Buddy. He is housebroken and has been fixed. He's a beautiful, affectionate, and active cat, loooking for a patient owner. Please contact me by email ([email protected]) or phone (010-8488-8819) ASAP if you'd like to see pictures or have any questions.

In the future there will be robotic cats and people won't need to bother the live ones.

Come on guys, give the person a break. Where else can one find a good home for a pet? Certainly Koreans do not take as good a care of pets as us foreigners do (in general) and you dont know the circumstances that the person aquired the cat.

Good luck in finding a home for it. Post some pics if you can.

Westerners don't treat animals much better... It's easier to grow up on the street, not knowing anything else then to be in a home, house broken then abandoned... If you are from Canada, there is no quarantine period for cats and dogs as long as they have had a rabies shot... The USA and Europe aren't that bad with quarantine either... So why not take em with you????
Whats the really great reason??

Well, I did say in general we do, and as far as I am concerned in my 5 (almost 6) years in Korea I can safely say its true.

In response to Halloo... I've had an owner lined up who backed out at the last minute, and as to why I can't keep him, am leaving Korea and travelling for the rest of the year, then starting school in a country where it isn't so easy to import pets, but thanks for your insightful remarks.

You know, its amazing how many people have nothing better to do than to critisize other peoples positions.

importing animals into EU is a B. and the quaruntine was 90 days last time i looked.

And FYI folks: People back in our native countries actually get rid of pets too. I'm not sure if y'all knew this but it's true.

Lastly: Yous criticizers got to remember, it's a friggin' CAT! It's a pet; it's not like she's neglecting her child. If you like the cat, it's hard enough to give it away. If you don't like the cat, who cares; it's not like that cat likes you.

but I ain't a cat fella
