Stories

Every one of them has a story.

Not all hundred cats get a page. These are the ones whose stories we know well: where they were found, what it took to save them, and how they are doing now.

Tiger

Found dying in a Bangkok parking lot, living in a cage made of trash. He went on to a long, healthy life with the family.

Snow

He fell from under a moving car on a Bangkok bridge. Two months in the clinic and a maxed-out credit card later, he was fine.

Manui

A black kitten from our nightly walks, rescued from a security guard who was about to put him back on the street.

Nuu Yim

A lost kitten who played with a dry leaf in our Bangkok garden until we let him in. Independent, clever, and the only cat who ever obeyed me.

Bang-earn

Found sitting quietly in a box by the roadside in southern Thailand. His name means “by chance.” He had FIV and lived in his own room.

five cats, all healthy

Gift's Family

A stray mother cat, a kitten stuck inside a wall in a rainstorm, and a neighbor with small hands. All five are still together.

Jumpy's Family

A stray mother and four kittens, a monk who offered to take them in, and then a diagnosis of feline leukemia for all five.

Lucky

Small enough to fit in a hand and sick enough for an incubator in May 2015. By 2016, a lanky, pale-coated adult.
