An Era Where Even Pets Donate... Jeonnam's Second Good Pet Emerges

Mr. Lee Sin-won Regularly Sponsors the Stray Cat 'Ippeuni' Adopted in 2021

In an era where donations are made in the names of dogs and cats, the second Good Pet has been born in Jeonnam.

On the 25th, according to the Jeonnam Community Chest of Korea (Chairman Nodongil), Mr. Shinwon Lee, who lives in Hwasun-gun, participated in the donation in the name of his cat, ‘Ippeuni’.

Mr. Lee started taking care of a stray cat wandering around his home and began living together with it since 2021. At that time, the cat was in very poor health, but with utmost care and treatment, it has now become part of the family.

Mr. Lee said, “It feels like I just adopted Ippeuni yesterday, but now we are donating together and have developed into an indispensable and precious relationship. I hope this will contribute to the development and establishment of a healthier companion animal culture.”

Meanwhile, the ‘Good Pet’ program, launched as a new fundraising initiative by the Community Chest of Korea last September, allows anyone to join by making a regular monthly donation of 20,000 won or more in the name of their companion animal, regardless of species, including dogs, cats, hamsters, and lizards.

Upon joining ‘Good Pet,’ a membership card is issued in the name of the companion animal, and the donations will be used for support projects for vulnerable groups and companion animals.

In Jeonnam, the first Good Pet is Jayeoni (Jindo dog), and the second is Ippeuni (cat), both participating as Good Pets.
