Fire is in her foster home in Seoul.
Jan 2013:
Fire's rescue story: A small rooftop apt in Seoul burned down. It was an art academy, apparently. Anyhow, they kept a stray cat, which would sleep inside at night. The place is a complete ruin now. The cat was left on the street. He was roaming around in the rubble. :( Nobody from the academy has been to the building.
One nice person saw the cat there. The first day she tried to get on the roof from the adjacent building ...but it didn't work out... Poor kitty. It was so sad to see him wondering around all alone in this cold.
What to do? The makeshift shelter was built out of a box stuffed with newspapers and a blanket, a plate of canned tuna and water were left next to it.
The next day she went back with a carrier and tried to get the cat again. No luck. The cat came close enough but wouldn't go into the carrier far enough and would run out from the slightest movement. He ate an entire can of tuna as well as some dry food.
"I will go back to feed it tomorrow and try again." - she said. She did and succeed!
We called him Fire.
Fire was placed at the vet for 1 week - another gift from his guardian angel. He is doing good at the vet, being a nice kitty. The vet estimated his age to be about 5-6mths, so he's really a baby still! With the right love and attention and care, this cat will grow to be a sweet loving companion. This week Fire will be fixed and will receive his vaccines.

It takes time but it's so worth it! My brother's cat was a stray hanging near our house, I sat outside in our driveway everyday for at least an hour waiting for her to build up her trust for me and come over. Eventually she did and now she's a very sweet house cat who loves to snuggle!
It's so great Fire has the chance now too, she seems so wonderful already and she'll keep learning and growing into a great companion :)

From Fire's foster mom:
"Fire firsts.
First time playing first time venturing on top of the bed first time coming so close to me."
