A cat appeared in a park
The cat follows after a lady who's walking her dog
Lady: Where is everyone?
As if used to it, the lady looks for other cats
At that time!
Lady: Yeppi! Come here
Another white cat appeared
Lady: I named it Yeppi PD: Yeppi? / Yes
This is just the beginning
Lady: Look in the bush, behind you
Another cat appeared in the bush
The cat has a very unique face...
What is a pure-breed munchkin doing on the street?
PD: This one has very short legs Lady: Yes. this one is a munchkin. A breed with short legs
At that time, another pure breed cat appeared..
PD: This one is an Abyssinian Lady: That's right, an Abyssinian
Behind the cat that's eating food the lady prepared..
there is another pure breed cat...
PD: Isn't this one a Scottish fold? Lady: That's right. I named it Pol
On top of the 5 pure breed cats, another cat appeared
and a Russian blue cat showed up, too
PD: There is another one Crew: Another one?
Another two pure-breed cats showed up
9 pure breed cats were spotted on the street
PD: Are they all guardianless? Lady: Yes
They lady saw the cats while walking her dog and has been feeding them ever since
Lady: This is not the place for these kinds of cats...
It's strange that they all showed up in a place like this. If it was just one cat, I'd think that it's lost, but...
How come these different kinds of pure-breed cats appeared in this park all of a sudden?
The production crew started asking around the town
Production crew; Hello, this is Kritter Klub. Have you ever seen cats like these? Grandma: No, I haven't. They look differently than the cats that live here
Local: I wouldn't know. City folks abandon their pets in the countryside sometimes
PD: There are no security cameras here
It's hard to get video footage of the park
Production crew: Hello, this is Kritter Klub. We got a report about abandoned cats at Nogogiri Park. Have you seen them?
County officer: We don't manage the entire land of this country. Not many people reside there
Someone who knows that this park has no human traffic
must have abandoned the cats here
The safety of the cats is the priority. The rescue is decided
PD: Hello
Some cats are very friendly and cooperative
while some cats avoids helping hands
Vet: Those who are wary, we have to capture them with the capture frame
Fortunately, the cats are easily captured
Lady: How great! Amazing work, you guys
While we were wrapping up with the rescue...
Lady: What? PD: Who is that?/Is there another one?
Another cat appeared
PD: It's a Russian blue Lady: Another Russian blue? So there were 3?/ The total is 10
The 10 pure breed cats were transferred to the hospital for a check-up
Vet: You can come out, now
The vet examines their health condition
Vet: All 10 cats' common aspects is that they are all very young, and none of them are neutered
Only 1 out of 7 male cats is neutered and none of the female cats are neutered
It's likely that cat breeders abandoned them as people were not buying them
The production crew started searching for nearby pet shops
Pet shop involved party: There are no pet breeders in the Changnyeong region
The involved party claims that they bring pure-breed cats from another big city
So we started searching in further regions, too
We posted about this on a cat lovers' website and waited for the lead
And someone reached out to us
Informant: I saw the cat in the picture from there. It has a very unique face. It's a munchkin, too, with the same pattern
PD: When was that? /Last August
The informant claims that she saw the munchkin cat at a cat cafe
Since it has a very unique face, she took a picture of it
Informant: This one's a Scottish fold. This one has a unique pattern, too
The cat in the picture looks a lot like the cat we rescued...!
PD: What kind of place is it? Informant: It is a pet shop and also a cat cafe
Are they the cats that we rescued?
We brought the pictures to the expert
Vet: See its face, the lower part is almost exactly the same The white spot on the back is the same, too/ Oh, that's true!
Vet: Do you see the little dot on the left side of its chest? PD: Yes
It's a 100% match. It's the same cat
Scottish fold, too...
It's the same cat
The production crew went to the at cafe
But
PD: It's vacant
The cafe is already gone..
PD: Do you know when they closed their business? Building owner: I think it was about 2 months ago...
The case is getting difficult to solve...
Miraculously, we could contact the cafe owner
Production crew: Hello, this is Kritter Klub. We rescued abandoned cats in the Changnyeong region and it's said that the cats are from your cat cafe
They're a munchkin cat and a Scottish fold. Ex-cafe owner: Yes, we used to have them. But, they were sent off long ago.
Production crew: Do you remember when it was? Ex-cafe owner: I remember it was last March or April
Production crew: last March or April? Ex-cafe owner: Maybe April? I don't remember the date exactly
I sent them off because someone wanted a munchkin. Frankly, it was a burden as it was too big and no one wanted it. So I sent it off
I just gave it to the person so there was no written contract. The person said he'll be responsible...
Production crew: You don't even have the person's contact?
I'm afraid not
I don't exactly remember what I did with the scottish fold. I heard that one of the employees dealt with it. I' don't know. I remember that it was here, though
Production crew: So you sent off the cats individually and they were all found at the same spot by accident?
Ex-cat cafe owner: They were found at the same spot? Perhaps the one who took the munchkin took the Scottish fold, too...
The person came when I wasn't there. I can't vouch that it's the same cat either
We tried to find out where the rest of the 8 cats came from, but we couldn't
Precious lives are bred and abandoned due to human greed...
We hope this vicious cycle ends...
