Niko

Niko was rescued from a tree under my friend's
apartment after 6 hours of crying. They don't
know how long she was in the tree before she
started to wail (and Niko had lungs!). Cat fatalities
on the streets of Changwon are very high, so
they assumed her mother had been killed or had
abandoned her. The vet estimates she was about
12 days old. They brought her to me to foster,
since they are never home and have never fostered
an infant animal before (all 3 of my rabbits were
bottle fed). She did great for the first few days,
but got sick abruptly last week and didn't make it.
The vet said she had parvo, which she probably
got from her mother, as well as the kitty equivalent
of AIDS (which 60% of street cats in Korea have).
She was a terrific cat, for the short time I had her,
and is missed very, very much.
