Boa is an amazing cat that came into my life suddenly when a friend's situation changed in a drastic and unpredictable way. I didn't have time to consider the drawbacks. And I am glad because I fell in love with her and she had a great home. In the past couple of months I made the rookie mistake of trying to rehome her on my own but the people who had agreed to take her in backed out at the last minute and now I have only a couple of days left in Korea and Boa still doesn't have a new home.
She is a very open and loving cat. She loves to cuddle and to sit on my chest while I watch a movie on my computer. When there are birds chirping outside, she will go sit by the window and listen for hours. She doesn't have any special tricks but when I make a kissing sound she will come in for a peck. She hates the sight of a deodant can, so I have to use it in thebathroom. She loves getting her picture taken and is know as Supermodel of the World. Once every couple of days she will run across the room for about two minutes and then settle down. Empty cupboards are her favourite hiding spot.
Initially, before I believed I have found someone to take her in, I was going to take her home to South Africa. But in the past couple of months, my mother has passed away, I will not be able to live in one place the way I thought, and there have been several other key changes that will make it almost cruel for me to take her with me. I'm very senstive about this because I don't want to seem like I am shirking responsibility. It breaks my heart to be in this position with Boa.
The situation is urgent because I need to leave my apartment on Friday afternoon.

She has a very lovely face. How did she react when she was around kids/dogs/other cats? Also, is Yongin near Seoul?

At first she hides is a corner somewhere. But then she comes out and interacts, she's playful and uses gently paws when she wants to play.
I'm actually not all the way in Yongin, I'm in Jukjeon which is about 50min out of Seoul on the bus.

Okay, so you're not that far from Seoul. Have you contacted the rescue organizations in the city? They're usually full to capacity, but you could at least try. I know she's only got a few days left.
