GOJO UPDATE, NOVEMBER 2013
GoJo was adopted on November 2, and is doing great in his new home :)
GOJO UPDATE, OCT. 30
Hi everyone! Good news! GoJo will be adopted this Saturday (I will move him to the completed adoption section on Saturday). A couple came and met GoJo Tuesday night (Oct. 29), and loved him straight away. They will come with me to the vet on Saturday for the kitty's second vaccination, and will take him home after. GoJo's new name will be "The Great Catsby" :)
He is now about three months old, and just lovely. GoJo, it turns out, had a fungal infection from when he lived outside, so he was in a cone for 10 days. He got medicine and now, he's cone-free and is enjoying his freedom. He mingles, plays and cuddles with my cats, and has just the best personality. Loving (currently sleeping behind my neck as a type), but also playful and inquisitive. Thanks everyone for their support and interest!
GOJO UPDATE, OCT. 17

Hi everyone ~ GoJo is doing well! He is gaining weight, and he received his first vaccination on Saturday, Oct. 12. His next one will be Nov. 2. Since his vaccination, he has been allowed to mix with my cats. He is curious and playful with them (they, however, aren't too interested in him :). My vet said GoJo is small for his age, and will probably only be 2 kilograms when he is full grown (just a little guy!). My "normal"-sized cats are about 4kg.
He will go to the vet tomorrow because I think one of his paws is infected from when he kept trying to get out of carrier when I originally got him.
His personality is awesome. He is a cuddle muffin, who often times falls asleep against my neck. He loves to play and chase things. At first, he meowed a lot, but now that he is allowed to move around, he is much quieter (unless he is hungry). He lovesssss to pounce and it's really cute when he just jumps in the air, seemingly for no reason.
As of right now, I think I can foster him until he gets a forever home, so please send adoption applications only. If that changes and there are problems with my cats, I will update the link! I really want to keep him, but it's not feasible for me right now.
(GOJO UPDATE, OCT. 5)
Gojo just came back from the vet, and he is doing great! He received Revolution, eye drops for minor Feline Herpes and a good ear cleaning. My vet suggested waiting for about a week to make sure he is healthy, and then he can start his vaccinations on Oct. 13. I plan to keep him until then.
He spent the last day/night in Pyeongtaek, and he did great. He was curious, and did well with new people and a 3-year-old child. My friend's dog even gave him a total tongue bath/cleaning, and GoJo didn't mind.
I love him a lot already. He is so playful and will fall asleep anywhere (on the floor, on the shoulder, nuzzling in the neck, etc.). He also loves to eat.

GOJO, 10/3
Everyone: Meet GoJo. He was picked up off the street on Oct. 2.
His full name is Gojoseon, named after Korea's first kingdom which was discovered on Oct. 3, 2333 B.C.
GoJo is a lively, male kitten who's approximately 2 months old. He was showing off for people taking his picture on the side of the street. Friendly enough to be picked up, I scooped him and took him to the vet.
Besides a minor eye infection, GoJo seems healthy, and he will be tested for all diseases this weekend (check back for an update). He is super playful, yet he melted into my neck and slept when I carried him to the vet.
I'd love to foster him, but I already have two cats and one is still recovering from a full-mouth tooth extraction and shouldn't be around stressful situations. GoJo will live in my bathroom until a foster or adoptive home is found, but he deserves better!
Can you help him?
Please send foster/adoption applications to Laura-Claire, [email protected].
Thank you so much!
