도토리 (Dot/Acorn)
Quick Bio
Age:
Kitten (under 1 year )
Gender:
Female
Breed:
Domestic Shorthair
Colour:
Black, White & Orange
- Litter trained
- Feral (wild)
Adoption Status:
Adopted
Description:
This spirited young fighter was found on the side of a hill in Busan, crying for what could have been hours. Both her parents are feral, and seem to roam the hillsides of Dongnae-gu, Busan, but the little one still has a chance to find a loving home.
Dot is playful and curious, and she will run right up to you rather than away from you. She has a voracious appetite and is healthy in most regards (She does have a kink in her tail), but otherwise she's a tiny calico kitten straight out of an Eric Carle book. She demands cuddles as soon as you enter the door, but she is independent enough to be left on her own for a few hours. She is definitely not shy, very inquisitive, and loves to play with ribbons in particular.
The reason for giving her up for adoption is that I am leaving Korea soon (4th August), and although I have explored options with regard to taking her with me, I'm still not sure as to where I will settle again. I am busy weaning her (I estimate her age to be around 4-5 weeks), and she is responding to solid foods well. I hope there is someone who will take in this wonderful kitten, hopefully as an owner, but even as a foster.
Adoption Fee:
₩50,000

UPDATE:
Dot went for her first round of vaccines over the weekend, as well as a precautionary de-worming tablet (no worms were found, thankfully!). Currently, she holds the award for Ms. Health Busan.
Finally, I would just like to add that, although I am willing to travel to give Dot the perfect home, if there is anyone in Busan or Gyeongsangnam-do area that is interested then the trauma for the kitten may be limited slightly.
Dot does travel relatively well, though, with only a mild grumble at the start of the journey. After a few minutes, however, she will settle down into a blanket.

What a cutie!
I live in Changwon/Masan. I can probably help foster Dot. I've been waiting to hear back about a few other cats, and if they need foster homes, but haven't really heard anything yet, so I believe I'm still open to help.
Does she show any signs of FIP or Feline Herpes?
