Yongsan redevelopment rescue
In Seoul's Yongsan redevelopment zone, cats are losing familiar streets, feeding spots, and places to hide as demolition moves forward. YongsanCats records them by name and photo, then connects each cat to care, foster or adoption paths, public support, and stories people can share.
Help these cats be seen. Cover the redevelopment rescue story, share one named cat, or connect YongsanCats with people who can foster, adopt, or support.

The story
YongsanCats keeps each cat visible: a name, a photo, medical needs, foster or adoption needs, and a route for people to foster, adopt, support, or share.
Report on what demolition and relocation mean for cats left behind in familiar streets and colonies.
One named cat is easier to remember, repost, foster, adopt, or support than a large problem in the abstract.
The animated episodes can reach people first, then lead them back to the real rescue cats behind each story.
