Kittens in Need of a Good Home......

Last night Mathew and I went golfing in Mokpo. We played 18 holes......now I can imagine what you may be thinking....Korea has this amazing indoor golf....you get your own private room, a huge projector screen and you can play 18 holes of golf for 20 bucks.....Awesome. Its super hard but lot's of fun....

Our night was full of adventure....

We walked home at about 12:30am and on our way down the path came upon two small kittens scrounging for food in a take out box. They were licking the sauce of some chicken...it was a sad site. We caught them both and brought them back to our apartment.

I think I may have explained the situation for animals here in Korea before ....but if not...let me tell you about it briefly...IT SUCKS.

Animals are not treated with respect here at all. Dogs are chained up with no where to go, fed the most disgusting crap I have ever seen, seriously...it looks like someone barfed then gave it to the dog, some dogs are beaten and then eaten.....it is a horrible situation.

Cats on the other hand are seen as pests, left to roam the streets alone. If they have been caught usually an elastic band is wrapped around their tail to make the end die and fall off ( WHY? I have yet to find a reason). I also read today that some cats are boiled alive so that their cat juice can be used as a treatment for rheumatism???? again...TERRIBLE situation.

Mathew and I both love animals, and as hard as it is we realize that we cannot save every animal here in Korea....this is a difficult challenge for so many foreigners here in Korea. Most of us end up with an animal of some sort before leaving here. We feel that as decent human beings we cannot walk by daily and see an animal suffering or in pain.

So with no one around, no houses in site, Mathew and I scooped up the two babies and made our way home.

We discovered that one had a small kids bracelet around her neck which tells us that they must have been someone's pet at some point and deserted on the street...Unwanted.

So at this point we have no idea what we are going to do. I have posted messages on our Foreigner web pages to see if anyone is interested in taking the kittens.

Here they are...adorable as ever.

Mom, Dad....If you are reading this I know what your thinking....I know what you are REALLY saying out loud right now....take a breath....lol....I don't know whats going to happen....but things have a way of working themselves out...I would just like to comment on how much they resemble Bailey and Milo.....:)
