Louis has beed adopted by Sandra.
Me abd Winbin took Sandra and Louis home. We were happy Louis got a forever home.
I'll update pictures tomorrow!
Thanks Sandra. Please be with him forever.
Ah, Louis has new name, Oliver!

Louis is a new addition to the Asan kitty clan, having been rescued from death row at Asan city pound by Mr Park. Still getting familiar with his new surrounds, Louis is a quiet yet friendly kitty who can be easily approached and enjoys playing with people.

Louis was neutered while at the city pound under the TNR program they have there so the tip of one of his ears is missing. This is a common procedure with Korean TNR programs, nevertheless, it doesn't retract from Louis's charming, calm nd friendly character. I'm looking forward to spending more time with this handsome little lad. No doubt he will make a great feline companion.

아이들이 밑에 있던 임시 공간에서 산 밑으로 옮겨져 왔습니다. 작은 케이지에서 여전히 힘든 이사 기간을 버티고 있는데
정말 작은 공간만 있으면 루이를 행복하게 해주실 수 있습니다.
너무 착하고 예쁜 루이, 생각만 해도 눈물이 나는 루이에게 관심을 갖어 주세요.

Louis needs a foster home now.
He is friendly for people and keeps sleeping. If you have a small space for him, please be a foster for Louis.

루이는 사람을 좋아하는 아이입니다. 보통 잠을 즐기며 조용한 아이랍니다.
작은 공간만 있다면 루이에게 좋은 엄마 아빠가 되어주실 수 있어요.

Update: June 11

Come and meet loveable Louis!

Louis is growing so fast! He's getting bigger and bigger everytime I see him. Louis's coat is surprisingly clean and healthy for a shelter cat. His herpes symptoms seemed to have cleared up, but I think he might still need some attention and a short course of antibiotics to clear the virus entirely from his system. So I'm still seeking a foster for him as soon as possible. Staying in the shelter will just make any lingering symptoms worse. Or better yet, a forever home! Please don't let this minor ailment deter you from considering this lovely boy. He really deserves a wonderful home!

UPDATE: June 3

Little Louis is still waiting patiently at the shelter for that special someone or family to come along and scoop him up and spoil him rotten. Unfortunately in the last couple of weeks I've observed Louis developing mild herpes symptoms, so it would be wonderful if he can leave the shelter ASAP and go into a foster home to receive some herpes meds and recover in more stable comfort until a forever home can be found for him. If you're interested in fostering or adopting this friendly sweet boy, please contact Daisy at [email protected]!

UPDATE: May 22

Unfortunately the people who were initially interested in Louis have decided they want a younger cat (Louis himself is only 7-8 months old I'd say) though they thought Louis was very charming - not very fair on Louis, but hey, that's people for you. So this means Louis, possibly one of the most gentlest, friendliest sweetest kitties you could ever meet, is still on a quest to find his perfect forever family, a family that doesn't care too much how old he is.

Louis also seems to have slight conjunctivitis in one eye at the moment but is being treated with some pink eye cream and should clear up in no time. What can I say, loveable Louis is still is lovely and loveable as ever and I really hope his days at the shelter will soon be over. If you're after a young, playful, friendly, gentle and extraordinarily gorgeous cat, then Louis is certainly the kitty for you!

***
UPDATE: May 11

Little loveable Louis is doing well and it was a joy to see him again today and have some quality play time with him. It's no surprise that this gorgeous fellow already has some people interested in adopting him, so hopefully next weekend Louis will have a chance to meet a potential new family. Fingers crossed everyone!

I wish he was near seoul:( how old is he?

dbis's picture

He's about 6+ months old I'd say. If you would like to meet him, join us on one of our weekly volunteer trips to Asan Shelter! You can catch the KTX from Seoul station to Asan-Cheonan station; takes about 30-40 minutes and costs about 13,000 won for a one way ticket. Some volunteers who come meet at Seoul station and travel down together.

He is very friendly and so lovely.
I had a good time with him at the shelter. :)

LouisHe likes to be with people.

I met Louis in last Saturday. He still looks healthy and friendly.
By the way he doesn't like Goma. I put Koma into the same room he kept avoding her.
Louis is friendly cat and I guess he also sensitive. he needs real mom and daddy. :)

Is there anybody to help Louis?
Louis is still in the small encloser with many kittens...I fell very sorry to him. T_T

27th July, 2013 after shelter trip.
I visited the shelter two times in the last weekend.
When I visited the shelter on Sunday morning, the shelter was carlm.
I pet Louis and he enjoyed my touch. I keep saying "I'm sorry Louis...you are the next one. I'm going to find your forever home soon, I promise you."
He loves poeple. please make him out of the encloser.
일요일에는 일이 있어서 아침일찍 제인월드에 갔었습니다.
제인월드는 조용했고, 할배님을 기다리며 한참동안 루이를 쓰다듬고 있었습니다.
내 몸이 3개였으면 좋겠다고 생각했어요. 루이도 만지고, 마마도 만지고, 롤라도 만지고...모두 안아주고 싶었으니까요.
루이는 당연한듯 철장으로 다시 들어갔습니다. 그 모습에 얼마나 가슴이 무너졌는지 모릅니다.
루이를 안아주세요.

Poor lil Louis...He loves people so much, I'm worried he'll get so depressed in that tiny pen until the new shelter is finished. Hang in there Louis, I hope your foster/forever home isn't too far away.

drkim81's picture

I love you so much Louis.

Louis gets along with people and other cats.
please make a cozy house for him. please.

Would Louis be good with being the only cat in the house? Also, is it possible to bring cats on the KTX? I am just curious because I live in Bucheon (near Seoul) and if I adopted him, well I would somehow have to bring him home :)

drkim81's picture

Hi! Louis spends his time for sleeping all day. He is really doing well alond and together.
According to the rule, you fill in the application form before visiting the shelter.
Bucheon is not far from my house. If all process is finished and you can take Louis to your home, I can help it. :)

please read the ARK Adoption Process guidelines and send a completed adoption application form (http://www.animalrescuekorea.org/adoption-application) to Suyoun ([email protected]) and Daisy ([email protected])

Thaks for asking about Louis. He is the most adorable cat in the shelter for me.

Karen's picture

Also, is it possible to bring cats on the KTX?

Yes, I believe so. I've heard of people travelling with big dogs on the KTX, so I'm sure a cat is fine. It's my understanding that as long as an animal is in a proper carrier you can bring him/her, but hopefully someone with experience can say so for sure.

marlajoy's picture

I've taken both cats and dogs on the KTX on numerous occasions without problem. Twice only they tried to tell me that I couldn't but I just either pretended I didn't understand or said that my animal was sick and needed to go with me and I just walked on without looking back. The issue was never pushed.

Alynsilver's picture

Oh that is good to know that it might be possible to take him on KTX. I am filling out the application now. Hopefully, I will be able to email it tomorrow night :)

drkim81's picture

Thank you all! If I have not four cats in my house, I would take him to my house.
He is so relaxed in every moment. :) I'm sure you can fall in love with him!

Alynsilver's picture

:) He seems like a super great cat. It really shows in your posts and through the pictures that you care about him. And he seems so adorable and chill. I can't wait to meet him! I just e-mailed the adoption form. I hope everything works out!

drkim81's picture

Hi Sandra, I just read you mail. Thank you so much for having a time to fill in the application form. Daisy will reply you. :) after then, I will make a meeting. :) I hope Louis can go out of the small cage as soon as possible. Thank you again!
