Cat enthusiasts are flooding Wipawadee Pet Clinic's Facebook page, eager to adopt a young cat named "Satong," rescued by a sniffer dog amidst the rubble of the collapsed State Audit Office building. The two-month-old feline endured a 10-day ordeal before Naree, a search and rescue dog, discovered her.

 

After being sent to the clinic for treatment, Satong has captured the hearts of many. Despite suffering from a fever and a coronavirus infection, the orange cat, whose name signifies both her resilience and a playful nod to the State Audit Office, is expected to make a full recovery.

 

Veterinarian Wipawadee Pathom-rapeepong, who initially named the cat due to her strong will to survive, announced on social media that Satong is available for adoption at no cost. Enthusiastic commenters are keen to welcome Satong into their homes, with many praising her as a "star" of resilience.

 

 

 

 

Pojana Manotham, a follower of the clinic’s page, highlighted concerns about the safety of high-rise buildings in Bangkok, expressing hope that Satong's new home wouldn't mirror the high-rise site of her rescue.

 

In her message, Vet Wipawadee reminded followers that Satong is not the only one seeking a loving home, urging potential adopters to consider other cats also in need. With her spirited survival story, Satong not only shines a spotlight on the importance of pet adoption but also draws attention to building safety issues in earthquake-prone areas, reported Bangkok Post.

Was Satong lost in translation from strong?

I highly recommend looking after a rescued cat. There is no need to buy a fancy breed for 5,000 Baht upwards. There is no better solution to stress, sadness, or loneliness known to mankind. (Sorry dogs! Bow down to your superiors, the cats!) My wife and I look after 25 rescued cats. We've had up to 28 before. We spoil them as best we can. They pour out their unconditional love all the time. It takes a while to go anywhere in or around the house as they come up to you to ask for some loving attention while showing love themselves. The downside of looking after so many cats is that one inevitably dies, and it is like losing a family member.
