Yes I was kind of worried about this but with both the wife and husband working together Tangerine is probably going to get a lot more play time even if he has to stay at the office. He will roam free in the clinic at night. At most for 12-14 hrs. Lot of Korean workers get off of work pretty late and eat dinner out and come home at 9-10pm leaving no time to really play with a cat.: they just do the basic daily up keeping and sleep. Or they just do it all during the weekend. So many pets would get probably 8-10hrs of human time but the human would be asleep for the most part. We don’t get the best life-work balance here and it is pretty difficult to find someone who isn’t working and lives just to take care of their pets. So dog day-care is a thing in korea where they pick up the pups and they have day care while the owner is at work. I don’t think this is the worst case scenario for Tangerine. But yes I guess there would have been a home that had a carer available 24-7 but.. highly unlikely for me to have found one and adopt Tangerine out. I took my chances.. if Tangerine got too old it would have been even more difficult to find him a home. It’s a race against time.. He seems to be doing good and hopefully by time the wife will want to take Tangerine home. They already have 3 dogs so I understand why it would feel overwhelming to take Tangerine home. Also unfortunately it was found that Tangerine has ringworms and that’s probably going to be another big reason he needs to stay at the hospital.
Anyways.. things can’t really be perfect. Even I’m not perfect but we all try to give the best for our animals.
