Lessons Learned: A Monk, a Community, and the Cats They Love

At a temple in Bangkok’s Klong Toei neighborhood, a familiar scene is unfolding—one we’re encountering more and more.

A monk we work with reaches out after being approached by a concerned community member. The story is always slightly different, but the pattern is the same: someone has been caring for a sick cat, often for weeks or even months, with little money and few options. They’ve done what they can, but the cat’s condition worsens.

With nowhere else to turn, they seek help—from a monk, a neighbor, or directly from Bangkok Cat Society.
