It's coming out, it's a kitten
There is another one!
unidentified cats appeared in an apartment
Local: They appeared out of nowhere
Local: I think someone abandoned them
Shim In-Seob, President of LIFE: A few pure-breed cats have been abandoned, so
I came here to observe the situation and rescue them
PD: What breed is it?
It looks like a Norwegian forest cat..
Norwegian forest cat????
A large cat breed with long fluffy hair originating in the Norwegian forest region.
Its elegant look is its charm
Kritter Klub crew started off with the investigation
Q. How many are abandoned intotal? -Eight cats… I saw eight cats
They appeared all at once, I think they are abandoned at the same time
PD: How can so many cats be abandoned at once..
I know. I was shocked, too..
Security: At first, there was only one
then the number increased
As they increased in number, we made a cat house over there
Locals made 3 cat houses up there, too
Conclusive testimony!!
Carefully searching the said cat houses..
That’s it. They are the cats in the picture
We found them!
The cats in the picture
Look, in the bush.. they are kittens
(Almost like Finding Waldo)
The kitten feels cold and shivers
Is there another one?
There is!!!
Cat: First time seeing a half-grey half-white cat?
The abandoned kittens are hiding under the gap
Look in there
<- Unchecked cat house
A cat is staying still in a stinky box
Its mouth is severely injured
It’s either been bitten by a person or in a fight with another cat…
A number of cats moved to a different environment that is not their usual living space
so there could be a conflict with the cats that used to be in power in this place originally
It’s freezing. If they are exposed to this setting for long
it will be challenging for them to settle down, so..
It could lead to death
We can’t let them die! We tried to rescue them with snacks
One cat shows interest
Will the rescue go smoothly??
just one step more..!
(Locals: Got it! Shut it quickly!)
Not interested
Of course… a rescue is never easy for Kritter Klub!
Rescuer: It went in and came back out. It knew there were snacks in it
What’s up with it?
ya thought I'd be fooled that easy?
The rescue team pulls out the big gun
Plan 1: Hide and catch
Successfully rescued one cat
Plan 2: Dig and beg
I got one, I got one
Lemmeow go!
Plan 3: Grab it
Plan 4: Grab it with bare hands
The rescue continued til night.
Successfully rescued every last one of them
a total of nine cats are rescued
Vet: I’ll have to see the ones in a bad state, first
The vet examines the rescued cats’ condition
This is serious
The mouth ulcer is severe
It could be due to a virus, but seeing that it’s very skinny
it’s more likely that it’s due to heart failure
It’s bony, it must have starved for more than 2 weeks
The vet examines another cat
Can you have a look? Look at its state
Is that the size of this one?
This one is two months old. About two months old
This kitten is thrown away soon after its birth
Vet: They are all suffering from malnutrition. They haven’t eaten
This is not surprising..
When house cats are thrown away on the street, they get too terrified
They can’t eat even if there are food
Vet: Considering the situation and their health condition
it’s suspected that the previous guardian abandoned them as they increased in number
Due to someone's irresponsible actions
the 9 cats
had to suffer unimaginable pain
Do you remember their last look?
Thanks to the help from the locals, animal protection org, and vets, the nine cats are recovering well
