Cat Rescue in Seoul — “the Impossible Possible”

#323: Tracie talks with Julie Choi, founder of Yongsan Cats in Seoul, South Korea, where the city’s frequent redevelopment projects put thousands of community cats at risk. What began for Julie with two kittens spotted on a snowy day has grown into an international rescue community that has already saved more than 200 cats from demolition zones — relying largely on fosters, adopters, donors and volunteers from around the world. Julie explains why street cats are too often left out of urban redevelopment plans, how Yongsan Cats is trying to create a model that can protect animals before the bulldozers arrive, and why rescue is about more than saving cats: it creates human connection and community, too. As Julie puts it, cat rescue means continually making “the impossible possible” — one life at a time.
