I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard the story of the stray cat living in Gong San Sung, that ancient mountain fortress in Gongju City, Korea.
So, there’s this cat, and no one really knows how she ended up there. When tourists walk by, she doesn’t budge. Unlike your typical stray cat, she just stays put.
But here’s the twist – she doesn’t look like your average stray either. One day, someone noticed she was missing a leg! Talk about tough luck, right?
But that’s not all. After everyone clears out, she starts moving around and meowing. And surprise, surprise, out pops four kittens from under the fortress! They all seem pretty healthy, and despite her injury, she’s looking after them like a champ. But if anyone gets too close, those kittens dart back to their hiding spot.
Now, here’s the curious part. Gong San Sung isn’t exactly a kitty paradise. There’s no food around, and it’s pretty secluded from the city. So, once she stops breastfeeding, those kittens are going to have a tough time finding grub.
It makes you wonder how this caring mother cat ended up there. People think maybe someone abandoned her up on that mountain because she’s super friendly with humans.
Anyway, they decided it was best to give this family a shot at a better life. They set up a trap with some food, and one by one, those kittens walked right in. Of course, the mother cat was a breeze to catch. So, down the mountainside they all went to get checked out at the clinic.
Turns out, the kittens were all in great shape – two girls and two boys. Their mom must’ve done an amazing job taking care of them despite her injury. The vet mentioned that she was pretty lucky not to have any infections, but she must’ve been in pain all the time.
Now, the whole gang is safe at the clinic, and they’ll soon be up for adoption. What an incredible and brave mama cat, don’t you think?
