Update* 6/24 Tomee was adopted by a loving family. We are so happy that he has found a wonderful forever home. Yea Tomee!
Update* 6/10 Tomee is now up to date on all of his vaccinations! He is healthy and still looking for a loving forever home. Please consider Tomee!
Tomee is one of the sweetest cats I have come across. Though his tail is paralyzed this doesn’t discourage him from playing and cuddling. We are not sure why his tail does not sway or move, but we think someone may have hurt him while he was living as a stray.
Tomee loves to play and is so friendly. He greets me at the door when I come home and then follows me around as I get settled in for the evening. Tomee always wants some love and cuddles with me at night. Tomee also loves to sit on my lap as I play on the computer and even as I write this he is by my feet.
Though he is a cuddle bug, Tomee loves to play. He is not over energetic, so don’t worry about being exhausted, but he loves batting around his toy ball and playing with string. At his last home he had 5 kitty roommates, so is very good with cats and would probably love the company.
He knows how to use a scratchboard, and I haven’t caught him scratch anything he shouldn’t. Tomee also likes to chat. He is just asking for attention or most of the time wants to play, but after a play session lays down and is silent. He is now in the process of getting his vaccinations and has already received his rabies shot.
Tomee (pronounced Tommy) was being fed by an elderly Korean woman while he lived outdoors as a kitten. Though she was caring for him, she heard that many people in her neighborhood complaining they hated him, so she brought him to KAPS, hoping he would find a better life.
Help Tomee find his forever home and please consider Tomee for adoption! If you have any questions or would like to meet this wonderful kitty, feel free to contact me or fill out an application and send it to KAPS.Adoption(at)gmail.com if you are interested!

I'm very interested in adopting Tomee, but I live in Cheongju (청주). If there is any way I can get to Daegu in the next couple of weeks, I'll be in touch!

Hi, there is a direct bus from Cheongju to Daegu. Or you can go to daejeon and take the train. Very easy either way ;o)

Hi Tim, Please email us at KAPS.Adoption(at)gmail.com and we can send you an adoption application, which upon completion, we can further discuss adoption. Should your application be approved and you would like Tomee, we can arrange a meeting with Tomee, his foster mom, and a KAPS Coordinator. We look forward to hearing from you. All the best!

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner, but, as I mentioned, getting to Daegu is (potentially) difficult. I don't want to waste anyone's time with an application until I'm sure it's possible. I will definitely be in touch soon!

Tomee was adopted today by Molly's adopters. Congratulations Tomee!!
Though Tomee was a bit confused and upset at the meeting with the move from his foster to forever home, we feel he is a wonderful match for the family and he will adapt well with time and dedicate - something this family has demonstrated to KAPS time and again!
The adopter has both Molly and another cat, so they have secured an area for Tomee to become acclimated to his new people and place, and slowly be introduced to Molly and their other kitty. We sent these links (Cat Behavior Associates and Petfinder) to help them with Tomee's transition and we are confident things will go well since Tomee truly loves company and other animals so much. We wish him and his adopters all the best and much happiness in their new lives together ^^
