00:00She didn't think this feral cat would ever let her get close.
00:05I'm Anastasia, a managing producer here at the Dodo,
00:08and this took months to get here.
00:11I had the worst fight with my family,
00:14and exactly that night, he showed up.
00:18It was rainy season in Korea.
00:21He was small, shivering,
00:23so I put some food near the fence,
00:26and he slowly, slowly, slowly came to our garden.
00:31In that moment, my mom and my husband,
00:33we all forgot our fights, and we were like,
00:36hey, okay, go, go, let's feed him.
00:39That night, he saved our relationship.
00:42Next day, he came back, and I thought,
00:46finally, I can have cats.
00:47He will be my last cat.
00:50I was optimistic.
00:52I realized that he is semi-feral.
00:56Lana had no idea that this rescue had just begun,
00:59and that it would take another seven weeks
01:01to even get cheese inside.
01:03He kept his distance,
01:05and after lunch, went somewhere for his pet business.
01:10One day, he stayed.
01:12He closed his eyes and slept.
01:15For the very first time, he felt safe,
01:17and I was like, oh my God,
01:19maybe I can really earn his trust.
01:28But then another cat came to my garden.
01:33When the black cat came,
01:35she just disappeared.
01:36I was very worried.
01:38I just sat in front of my UPC TV camera.
01:43Even my husband told me,
01:45oh, Lana, go eat dinner.
01:47Lana, let's do something.
01:49Lana, let's go to stable, go to work.
01:52At week three, my husband find out
01:55there is a CNR program fully supported by government.
02:00I decided if cheese will come again,
02:03I want to save him.
02:04But first night, we catch this black cat.
02:07Lana was happy to save that one feral cat,
02:13but she couldn't stop thinking about cheese.
02:17One month later, he came again.
02:19I couldn't believe this.
02:20That day was crazy hot.
02:23He was exhausted.
02:24I decided I will catch him.
02:27I understood that maybe it will break all trust,
02:32but we can recover our relation later.
02:36It was like most scary five minutes of my life
02:42because really I'm not joking,
02:44but my hands were shaking.
02:54When I brought him home,
02:56I was ready to wait until he decides that he is safe.
03:03First five days, he didn't come to me.
03:16Second week, he slowly started to be interested
03:20in our living room.
03:27Two weeks later, he started to be curious
03:30to participate in everything what I do.
03:35Every day, there was some progress,
03:37but still, I couldn't touch him.
03:42Two months later, I just decided to gently touch his home.
03:48That moment changed everything.
03:51Every day, he was more and more lovely.
03:54He more and more enjoyed his.
03:59Now, 282 days later,
04:01Lana's dream finally came true.
04:04Cheese became the snuggliest lab cat.
04:11Even my husband started saying like,
04:14Oh my God, I also want a cat who loves me so much.
04:17I'm the one who loved you so much.
04:20I'm the one who really loved us.
04:22I'm the one who loved us,
04:29I find my body.
04:30You
