00:00He canceled his prepaid trip across Asia so he could keep the kittens he rescued.
00:05My name is Evan and I'm a producer at The Dodo. When I saw this video, I reached out to
00:10Brian
00:10only to learn that this was actually the second of two incredible back-to-back rescues.
00:15I was visiting my parents in Korea. I realized there was a few people looking at something on
00:20the ground. That's a kitten. As a foreigner in Korea, allergic to cats, not knowing anything
00:28what to do, just thinking about what do I do from here. And I told myself, I'll just take it
00:33one
00:33thing at a time. The vet said they have like less than five percent of survival, so if they don't
00:39make it, don't put that on you. That moment, I said, okay, what do I do? And they say, we
00:44sell formula.
00:45And I said, okay. On top of all that, Brian had one major problem. The hotel he was staying at
00:51didn't allow pets. So what I did is what anyone would do. It's so small, I put it in my
00:58pocket. He snuck Sunshine in. I can tell my allergies were kicking in. But at that point,
01:04I was so committed. I'm looking at YouTube on how to do things because I have zero idea what
01:09I'm supposed to do at this point. When Sunshine was sleeping, that's when I was researching.
01:14Brian followed his instinct to go back downstairs to where he found Sunshine,
01:18and that's where he found kitten number two. I find moonlight. I feel like she called me.
01:24Moonlight magically always kept Sunshine warm.
01:29I was at six different hotels with them, and I snuck them in each time.
01:35In Korea, if they don't get adopted at a certain time period, they're forced to euthanize them.
01:41That was out of the question.
01:43High five. High five.
01:45I had travel plans to go to Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, and back to Korea,
01:51which is all prepaid for. But I ended up canceling all those travel plans because I had to be with
01:56them.
01:59Once I knew and committed that they're coming to LA with me, things became deeper.
02:03And when he got back to LA, nothing was going to stop Brian from adopting a third kitten.
02:08It's been about a year and a half when I had Moonlight and Sunshine, and they grew up so well.
02:15I did get a phone call saying, hey, I just found a kitten. Would you be able to take care
02:21of another kitten?
02:22And I said, absolutely. Sunset decided to join us.
02:31But I was very confident this time. I'm not allergic to them at all at this point.
02:38If anyone is really thinking about or has the opportunity, I feel like cats find you more than
02:45you find them. I thought they needed me, but really, in reality, it turned out that I needed them.
03:00You're pretty much interested.
03:02So I'm very proud of you, too.
