Episode 79

Trapped in the Rubble: Inside the Battle to Rescue Seoul’s Redevelopment Cats with Yongsan Cats

Published on: 31st July, 2026

When Seoul’s historic Yongsan district began its multi-billion dollar redevelopment, over 18,000 residents moved out—and left an estimated 1,000 community cats trapped behind demolition barriers. Facing bulldozers, starvation, and strict urban restrictions, these animals had no voice and nowhere to turn.

In this episode, host Dixie sits down with Julie Choi, founder of Yongsan Cats, to talk about what happens to street animals when an entire city rebuilds itself. Julie shares her journey from a dog mom who fed two kittens on a snowy day to a full-time rescuer who has saved over 250 cats from active demolition zones.

Speaker:

. Dixie: Today we are gonna be talking

with a woman who is fighting to

2

:

save the forgotten residents of

Seoul's redevelopment districts.

3

:

These are the street cats who

once were thriving in this area.

4

:

Julie Choi is the founder of Youngsan

Cats, and she has rescued more than 200

5

:

cats from the demolition zones, often

racing the construction crews and working

6

:

alone to pull the lives out of the rubble.

7

:

She's turning a disappearing neighborhood

into a blueprint for humane rescue, and

8

:

today she is here to share how she does

it, why it matters, and what happens to

9

:

the animals when a city rebuilds itself.

10

:

So let's get into it

11

:

Hi, Julie.

12

:

Julie: Hi, Dixie.

13

:

Dixie: I'm excited to learn about this

'cause I had no idea about the cats in

14

:

Seoul or in these redevelopment districts.

15

:

So- … I would like

to hear all about this.

16

:

I think it's gonna be a very interesting

topic for all of my listeners.

17

:

I would like to- start with you.

18

:

Before these demolition zones, before

the headlines, what first pulled

19

:

you into caring for the street cats,

and when was there a moment that

20

:

you realized if you didn't step

in, then nobody was gonna help?

21

:

Julie: I have always cared deeply

about animal welfare in Asia, but I

22

:

honestly never expected it to come

this early on in my life, and I have

23

:

always been a dog mom, so I never

had cats before until the rescue.

24

:

And it all started on a snowy day

when I came across two little kittens.

25

:

I was simply walking back

from my work and I saw them.

26

:

I started feeding them.

27

:

But that one small act completely

opened my eyes to everything else.

28

:

It exposed me to the brutal daily

obstacles these cats face and the

29

:

intense social stigma against the

people who try to help them in Korea.

30

:

And I didn't set out with a grand

plan to build a massive rescue, but

31

:

I just wanted to help the animals

that I crossed paths here and there.

32

:

And I always believe that small,

consistent acts of compassion

33

:

are what eventually can shift

how a society views strays.

34

:

So ultimately, I want to create an

environment where if one everyday

35

:

person decides to step up and take

responsibility for a single life,

36

:

the government and/or society

actually rally behind them to help.

37

:

And this is because as I said, as I was

walking into the rescue scene, I learned

38

:

about Yongsan demolition site and truly

I've realized that how local authorities

39

:

and the existing big animal welfare

organization in Korea here generally

40

:

don't intervene deeply with rescuing

stray animals from the demolition site.

41

:

Dixie: When you said social

stigma, what do you mean by that?

42

:

Like, how are people treated?

43

:

Julie: I was very stunned because

I am coming from America as well.

44

:

I grew up there and I came to Korea a

few years ago, and I started feeding

45

:

the stray cat thinking that it is okay.

46

:

And what I quickly learned is

there are, of course, every

47

:

country has lovers and haters, but

there are a lot of haters here.

48

:

And they'll give you an eye, like a

glaze of the eye that makes you think

49

:

that what you're, whatever you're doing

is wrong, and plus on social media.

50

:

You know the crazy cat lady stigma

that is going around Am- America, too?

51

:

But I would say it's worse.

52

:

They believe that anyone, stray

cat moms or anyone who cares for

53

:

the cats are antisocial, no life.

54

:

Basically, they find their meaning

in life on only caring for their

55

:

cats because they have nothing else.

56

:

And I was very, I thought it was very

unfortunate because as I was rescuing,

57

:

I met a lot of people from diff- all

over the world and even inside of

58

:

Korea who is not part of that stigma.

59

:

Everyone is just living their life and

then they're sharing their warmth to

60

:

the lives that they want to care for.

61

:

But that doesn't, that's not

how it's presented at the moment

62

:

Dixie: Wow.

63

:

Yeah, that's interesting to to hear

that 'cause like you said, in the United

64

:

States we do have, crazy cat ladies.

65

:

Everybody looks at the people

who are trying to help cats and

66

:

have a lot of cats as crazy.

67

:

And so that's interesting- Sure … to

know that it's, in other cultures too.

68

:

Julie: Yes, definitely.

69

:

I was surprised as well.

70

:

And I feel like culturally, it does

hit harder in Korea because I think

71

:

in my perspective, American culture

is more independent of what…

72

:

every culture has nosy individuals,

but it's less in America, especially

73

:

because it i- it is bigger land.

74

:

But it is more common in Korea, and

it just was very hard because I had to

75

:

fight through not only social stigma,

but also occasional harasser who would…

76

:

Literally, I was feeding the cat

and then because- and I was feeding

77

:

them on a permissioned land, not a

random area where no one allowed.

78

:

Then I would find someone who lives around

the corner saying, "I'm gonna poison them

79

:

all," and he ended up having a cat, too.

80

:

So it was very stun- I was

very shocked because he had

81

:

his cats, and he didn't see…

82

:

he didn't-- I think it was, it

could have been only few people.

83

:

I'm not saying that, I'm not

generalizing that everyone is like this.

84

:

It's was that i- one experience that I had

was he had his indoor cat, and he believed

85

:

that his cat is different from the outdoor

strays because strays were born outside.

86

:

Dixie: Yeah, I get that 'cause I actually

hear that here, too you find out that they

87

:

have cats living in their house, and they

absolutely hate the cats that are outside.

88

:

And I don't understand that 'cause

how can you have them in your

89

:

home and at the same time you're

hating the ones that are outside?

90

:

Julie: It's shocking because I didn't

know that was a thing there, too.

91

:

Yeah.

92

:

Dixie: Yeah.

93

:

Julie: I think I just- Wow.

94

:

Okay.

95

:

Okay.

96

:

That is very interesting.

97

:

'Cause unlike America especially

the city that I'm talking about is

98

:

Seoul, and it is a very urban city.

99

:

And I'm some part of Amer- America

does have a wild nature where cats are

100

:

just roaming around, and it is they

can become real wild cats, I would say.

101

:

I could be wrong, but that is my…

102

:

because of the setting how,

it's very different from city.

103

:

But in Korea, most cats, I believe,

is cannot really become feral or

104

:

s- because 50% chance they're gonna

have someone who's gonna feed them.

105

:

And it's literally apartments next to

apartments, and where- wherever they're

106

:

living at is someone else's parking lot,

under the car, someone else's garden,

107

:

but not even like American gardens.

108

:

Just literally a small concrete space.

109

:

So- That's another thing is

environmentally in this, in the city like

110

:

Seoul, even if they are strays, you cannot

really categorize them as a feral cats

111

:

because they always have a regular feeder.

112

:

Even if they're not, they don't have

regular feeder, someone with a good

113

:

heart walks by and they'll feed them.

114

:

So they already know

that people feeds them.

115

:

So it's not…

116

:

And it's not very common for

them to-- Yes, they'll play hunt

117

:

pigeons, but then it's not common

for them to hunt for pigeons or

118

:

rat to make a liv- to, for food.

119

:

So it is a very different, uniquely

different setting, which is also why

120

:

that I started rescuing because we have

rescue over 250 cats within a year and

121

:

a half, and most of them were just stray

cats, and I have stray cats of my own.

122

:

And yes, it does take time, but what

I have realized, at least for the

123

:

cats that I have rescued, is first of

all, once they go inside of a house,

124

:

they get the full freedom to sleep

whenever they want to, eat whenever

125

:

they want to, and drink whenever

they want to, and they don't really

126

:

need to guard and always be alerted.

127

:

Second, with time, they do come around.

128

:

Yes, they weren't pettable initially,

but then once they realize that we are

129

:

safe, at least all my cats and all the

cats that I have rescued unless they're

130

:

in the early stages of adjusting,

I have been seeing working out.

131

:

So that's why I believe that especially

the demolition site cats, if they cannot

132

:

get relocated because that's not possible,

then ideally saving one more life will

133

:

be much better than leaving them behind.

134

:

Dixie: The demolition zones, I

would like to learn more about that

135

:

because, here in the United States,

if they're gonna demolish a building,

136

:

it's usually just one building.

137

:

So can you paint a picture of these

demolition zones and, like, how

138

:

large are these demolition zones?

139

:

Julie: So while we are struggling to place

our current rescues the tragedy is still

140

:

going on in the Yongsan demolition site.

141

:

It is-- Yongsan is a district in

Seoul City, and the destruction

142

:

is divided into five zones.

143

:

Took over 50 years to start and

over 18,000 people lived here.

144

:

And it is the most expensive land in

Seoul, where Samsung CEOs, most of the

145

:

BTS members, ambassadors, and just where

people with greater influence live.

146

:

What they're trying to do

is not destroy by building.

147

:

They're doing it entire neighborhoods

are being torn down, and an

148

:

estimated 1,000 community cats have

been left behind in the rubble.

149

:

That includes abandoned cats as well.

150

:

They face starvation, injury,

and displacements as the

151

:

bulldozer, bulldozers move in.

152

:

It's it's very sad because

they divided into five zones

153

:

and we rescue from zone three.

154

:

Within zone three alone,

there were over 500 cats.

155

:

And how they start the demolition

is initially they move pe- evacuate

156

:

people out, and then they start putting

X marks around the doors, and then

157

:

they start blocking the entire area.

158

:

Not ju- I'm inclu- I'm talking about

the roads too, where people walk

159

:

on, so no one can enter the site.

160

:

And they start breaking down the doors

and windows turn down their electricity,

161

:

and they start destroying the entire town.

162

:

So once at, let's say, around,

around the stage of three where

163

:

they start blocking the entire town,

no one can enter to feed the cats.

164

:

So if they're still inside, then

there's no way that we can save them

165

:

out unless someone tries to sneak in or

we get a permission, which is why this

166

:

is hard because The permission also

h- not is-- the s- land is not owned

167

:

by the government as well, which is

why it's really hard to get permission

168

:

because it's individually owned.

169

:

And as I said, it is an expensive land,

meaning unlike other districts, it

170

:

moves fast, and every hour, every day is

money spent, so they want to do it fast.

171

:

And all the cats right now from zone…

172

:

So they're now starting zone two,

and zone two, starting November this

173

:

year, we won't be able to enter.

174

:

Right now, we can enter to rescue

or try to feed because there are

175

:

some people living there, and

I'm talking about like handful.

176

:

Actually, most people had to leave in

May, April and May, but there are some

177

:

people who are still staying, and they're

trying to kick them out, and it's taking

178

:

time, so we have time until November.

179

:

Once the November starts no one's

gonna be able to go in unless with

180

:

permission, but getting that permission

will be almost nearly impossible.

181

:

And that's only zone two, and zone

two still has about over 300 cats.

182

:

And one, four, five combined, it's…

183

:

You can estimate.

184

:

It is a challenging situation, but

what is most devastating is that

185

:

the city and major Korean animal

welfare organizations are completely

186

:

turning a blind eye to the crisis.

187

:

These cats are just getting trapped

in a war zone, entirely dependent on

188

:

whatever grassroots help we can gather

because the systems meant to protect

189

:

them are doing nothing, basically.

190

:

Dixie: Wow, that's amazing.

191

:

Now, when you say they have these zones,

are these like essentially almost like a

192

:

small city when you say a neighborhood?

193

:

Julie: It is Because we're comparing

to America, I feel like we shouldn't.

194

:

The size is different, but still I would

say it's like a one entire district.

195

:

So there's a huge city called Seoul

City, and within the zones there's

196

:

different districts, and it's

literally they're getting rid of one

197

:

of the portions of one whole district

where over 18,000 people lived here.

198

:

Dixie: Wow.

199

:

Julie: So it is big in the perspective

Koreans, and it is one of the largest

200

:

demolition happening in Korea right now.

201

:

And their goal is to finish this

demolition by:

202

:

It's really fast considering

the number of people and size.

203

:

But it is going on and honestly right

now I'm trying my best to share the words

204

:

out because with the limited resources

we have, realistically and financially

205

:

we cannot rescue out every cat.

206

:

And our goal is to raise awareness both

internally and globally so that when we

207

:

speak with the at least news media or

governments, we have one more eyes and

208

:

one more voice counting so that they

can save us time to rescue these cats.

209

:

'Cause what's very unique about what I

have been doing in here with Yongsan Cats

210

:

right now is our community are, over 90%

of our community members are foreigners

211

:

who is either living in Korea or abroad.

212

:

90% of our community members, adopter,

foster, supporters, and even donations

213

:

are coming from foreign community

that's inside and outside of Korea.

214

:

And yes, we are trying to spread

to Korean communities as well.

215

:

But what I'm trying to

do is connecting all…

216

:

Just I feel like animal lovers are

universal, and I want to connect whether

217

:

despite the gender, nationality, age,

I just wanna connect everyone who

218

:

has the same heart and try to work

together to change the stigma and also

219

:

bring a realistic change, even if it

doesn't have to be a big change, just

220

:

a small little changes where we can

change, really bring the difference

221

:

to the lives of the strays out there.

222

:

Dixie: Yeah.

223

:

I had no idea that this was going on

until you actually reached out to me.

224

:

And I hate to compare it to America, but

the reason that I'm doing it is because I

225

:

think as Americans it's hard for a lot of

us to actually understand and visualize

226

:

what's going on, if that makes sense.

227

:

Julie: Oh, yes.

228

:

Yes, I do.

229

:

Yeah.

230

:

Dixie: Can you walk us

through a typical rescue?

231

:

Like, when you go into these

zones, like, how do you start?

232

:

Julie: We have local cat moms who lived

there for over 10 years, 50 years, who

233

:

couldn't leave them behind and coming

back to the site to feed the cats.

234

:

And me is basically I walk into the

s- site and I work around with these

235

:

local cat moms and we monitor the cats

because there's regular feeding shelters.

236

:

And initially for what happened in zone

three was literally last May they gave

237

:

us two months to pull out over 200 cats.

238

:

That's how we did the massive

rescue because we had two months

239

:

and we had to get them out.

240

:

But the problem was I wasn't

a professional organization.

241

:

I was just a one person who just

had a heart and who just had friends

242

:

who can help us out together.

243

:

And what we did was we literally

set out-- we initially started

244

:

with having three traps and like I

said, we had to get over 200 cats.

245

:

And we had to go-- We have something

called Carrot Market, which is we can

246

:

either sell used items or we can rent.

247

:

And I posted on Carrot Market

and then I got-- I rented traps

248

:

from people, like rescuers.

249

:

So we had about 10 traps around and then

also the cat moms also had the traps, so

250

:

we brought in all the traps that we had.

251

:

And we s- we would set out the

traps everywhere around the zone,

252

:

and we would try to get anyone that

we can out, as many as possible.

253

:

And that includes whenever we

rescue, we don't try to leave

254

:

behind, just moms or healthy cats.

255

:

If it's a family, best friends

we take all of them out.

256

:

We take them together.

257

:

And if it's an old cat, we take them.

258

:

If they're a sick cat, we take them.

259

:

So that's why I did had a

temporary shelter in zone two,

260

:

which got evicted this April.

261

:

So- That's how we usually we go around it.

262

:

And what happens afterwards is I take

care of all the logistics, meaning I pay

263

:

for the medical bills for all these cats.

264

:

I do the transportation for the cats.

265

:

I try to find the foster

and adopter homes.

266

:

I do the interview.

267

:

I move the cats.

268

:

And if they're at foster homes, I visit

their foster homes to bring them to the

269

:

vet or find them an adopter and move them.

270

:

So yes, we do have volunteers,

but realistic- this is what I

271

:

mean by realistically it's not

very possible because I'm just one

272

:

person, and I am taking care of

currently about 56 plus cats right

273

:

now who are all at foster homes.

274

:

So due to the realistic situation

that has been happening that's-- w-we

275

:

don't h- that's basically our system.

276

:

It seems messy, but literally we

s- we talk to the cat mom or as we

277

:

are rescuing, we see the cats that

we think that has to be rescued.

278

:

We set up a trap we get them, we

deliver them to the vet, and because

279

:

now we don't have a shelter, we'll try

to find foster or potential adopter.

280

:

And if they say yes, then we pull them

out from the hospital, we bring them

281

:

to their house, and we monitor them

from their house, and that's how we

282

:

start And it is it is very challenging.

283

:

When we had a shelter, it was still

challenging because in a tiny space we

284

:

had to put in, at one point there were

80 cats because, like I said, we 200 cats

285

:

and instantly within two months is…

286

:

80 cats still was lucky because

we were able to find foster and

287

:

adopter for the rest of them.

288

:

And then with the 80 cats, we couldn't

bring in more cats, but because we had

289

:

a shelter, we would bring in the cats.

290

:

So at one point, the cats

numbers c- wouldn't change.

291

:

It was like 70 to 80 and

then back to 70 and 80.

292

:

But because this April we had to

close down, around the time when we

293

:

ha- heard we had to close was March.

294

:

They didn't give us time at all.

295

:

It was literally a month notice,

and we had about 40 to 50 cats.

296

:

And luckily, I was able to reach out to

some of the influencers and they shared

297

:

the words out and we got all the foster

cats, shelter cats out to the fosters.

298

:

But now we don't have the shelter,

so we cannot really rescue unless

299

:

we have a foster and adopter homes.

300

:

And even let's say if it's a really urgent

cat, then they have to be hospitalized.

301

:

I have a cat that has been

hospitalized in the vet for about

302

:

two and a half months is now.

303

:

And major reason is 'cause this

cat got into a car accident.

304

:

But afterwards, a month and a half in,

she could have gone to a foster home,

305

:

but we couldn't find anyone yet and it's

better for her to stay in the hospital

306

:

than hop her around when she's not ready.

307

:

So every day is different challenges,

but we're working around people.

308

:

So because we don't have physical

spaces, we're talking to each

309

:

other, communicating, trying to

find the places together and try

310

:

to see what we can do daily basis.

311

:

Dixie: Yeah, that's a lot that you're

taking on to being the person that's

312

:

transporting these cats for the

medical, coordinating the adoptions,

313

:

coordinating the foster homes.

314

:

So it seems like it's very intense

physically and emotionally.

315

:

What has been the hardest

part for you personally?

316

:

And then on the flip side, what

is it that keeps you going?

317

:

Julie: So the hardest thing is,

to be honest with you, is people.

318

:

Saving cats, rescuing cats yes,

it is physically difficult.

319

:

It is sometimes grueling.

320

:

But w- the best feeling is once you

walk into a great home and you transfer

321

:

the cat and you f- you know that you

feel that they're gonna have a great

322

:

new chapter, that's a satisfaction.

323

:

But usually when you are rescuing, I think

you may also know you cannot do it alone.

324

:

It has to be together.

325

:

But sometimes some people have

misunderstandings or there are people

326

:

emotions that you have to consider,

and that sometimes gives me a lots

327

:

of pressure and disappointment.

328

:

But also the flip side is

that people save as well.

329

:

So this is what I always tell

people is that yes, people

330

:

kills, but also people saves.

331

:

Without people it's

impossible to save any life.

332

:

And also, the reason why I can keep going

is because at every turning point, every

333

:

corner, I meet amazing human beings.

334

:

It could be foster mom, it could be

adopter, it could be a stranger, and

335

:

it could be anyone but who always says,

"Oh I may not be able to help fully,

336

:

but whatever that you're dealing with,

let me handle it together with you."

337

:

And that one s- it doesn't have to be

every cat, but just as some portion of

338

:

work that they take in for me together,

it gives me a hope and it keeps me going.

339

:

And it is also that's the o- that's

the major reason why we cannot

340

:

stop because whenever you want to

give up, there's always someone

341

:

who's like, "Okay, I can help you."

342

:

And then it's just every corner, every

step, every chapter, there's someone who

343

:

comes in that you didn't even expect.

344

:

And even if it's not a ginormous

help, still it is great amount of

345

:

help, enough for me to continue

rescuing, continue helping the cats.

346

:

Dixie: As the redevelopment continues,

what is next for Youngsun Cats?

347

:

What do you need the most right

now, and how can our listeners

348

:

support the work that you're doing?

349

:

Julie: So my next goal right now is

to settle all the cats to an adopter

350

:

home, the ones that we already rescued,

and try to find ways to realistically

351

:

save out the cats that's left behind.

352

:

And it doesn't have to be us physically,

but even, like I said, there's

353

:

other shelters and organizations

in Korea, and I hope that they

354

:

also start making a move because

they don't have to take in 10 cats.

355

:

They can just take in one.

356

:

But if every shelter or organization's

taking a few cats at a time,

357

:

I'm sure it's gonna work out.

358

:

And that's why the most powerful

thing anyone can do right

359

:

now is lend us your voice.

360

:

You can follow us on Instagram or join

our Patreon, even just as a free member.

361

:

And the reason is simple.

362

:

When we approach government officials

or n- news networks or organizations to

363

:

demand intervention for these demolitions

site cats, numbers truly matters.

364

:

And every single follower and

free member is a tangible voice

365

:

that proves the world is watching.

366

:

And if you can donate, you are

directly funding a cat's medical.

367

:

But if you cannot, simply following

us and sharing our stories gives us

368

:

the leverage we desperately need to

force real, systematic change in Korea.

369

:

Dixie: And what is your Instagram

and then also your Patreon?

370

:

And I'll include links

in the show notes as well

371

:

Julie: it's Yongsan Cats, and it's

Y-O-N-G-S-A-N Cats for everything.

372

:

And website as well, yongsancats.com.

373

:

Patreon, Yongsan Cats.

374

:

Dixie: Julie, thank you for

everything that you're doing.

375

:

It's really eye-opening 'cause like

I said, I had no idea that this was

376

:

going on, and just the magnitude

of it, It is very upsetting.

377

:

And- … i'm so grateful that you're

sharing your story with us today.

378

:

Your work is saving lives that would

otherwise be erased, and it's showing the

379

:

world what compassion looks like in the

middle of a demolition zone like this.

380

:

It's giving hope to these animals.

381

:

Julie: It's very challenging, but yes,

I'm grateful that you guys invited

382

:

me to speak with you and c talk about

our issue because I know that it's

383

:

just cats or animals cannot talk

for themselves, and it has to be…

384

:

What I learned, biggest lesson I've

learned is, like I said, single voice, and

385

:

I was a single voice who wanted to rescue

just the town cat, and then suddenly

386

:

I jumped into the demolition site.

387

:

And if we don't speak up as a people

who cares for the animals, I know that

388

:

it's not gonna get reached anywhere.

389

:

And in order for a change to

happen and to save a life, we

390

:

need to let more people know.

391

:

And I'm sure a lot of the audiences

whoever that I'm gonna meet n-

392

:

next and the ones that I have met

before, all of us didn't know about

393

:

what's going on, and it's because,

not because we don't want to know.

394

:

It's just that the world is huge,

and you cannot focus on what's

395

:

happening for every possible animals.

396

:

That's why what I'm trying to do

is the, my portion of the issue

397

:

that I'm dealing with for the cats

in Korea, I just wanted the people

398

:

outside of Korea to learn about it.

399

:

So even if they don't physically

help, knowing about it will impact,

400

:

and it can really bring a change.

401

:

It doesn't have to be this year.

402

:

It doesn't have to be next month.

403

:

It could be just years later.

404

:

But I truly believe that one more

person knowing, whether they're in

405

:

Korea or outside, it does bring a

big change to at least one more life.

406

:

And it's just the connection that I

have felt with a lot of the community

407

:

members and even with you right now.

408

:

This is, this literally is giving

us a hope because at least someone

409

:

is willing to listen to us.

410

:

And yes it doesn't have to be

physically saving a cat, but this is

411

:

a hope that someone else can actually

hear about us through you guys.

412

:

So I'm truly g- grateful.

413

:

Dixie: It's so very inspiring, too,

to know that you took on this huge

414

:

project as one person and you were able

to get other people involved with it.

415

:

, It's just massive, and it's just so

inspiring for people who think that

416

:

they can't do anything to help animals.

417

:

Julie: I feel like it's just

initially I didn't know anything.

418

:

That's why I was able to do it.

419

:

But afterwards, I'm able to keep

going because there's more people who

420

:

I realize that have a h- same heart

and compassion and who wants to help.

421

:

I have met great people both in and

outside of Korea, and that is also

422

:

healing journey for me as well.

423

:

I feel like these kind of support

that you don't really get during

424

:

daily lives or while you're

working at a business setting.

425

:

So I feel like cats are also helping me

in a sense that I have a new perspective

426

:

towards everything now, and in a good way.

DIXIE LOUVIERE

My love for animals has driven me to dedicate the last 20 years to rescue. In 2024, we established a 501c3 nonprofit Unwanted Feline Organization Inc. and are thrilled to be building a cat sanctuary in Washington Parish, Louisiana, where we can offer a haven for cats in need. I thought it would be great for the rescue to have a podcast so Animal Posse was started with the hope of bringing rescues together, getting them more exposure, and finding more animals
homes.
