You won't believe the adventure I had while bringing my first cat, Caddie, home from Manila! It all started when I found out about this adorable kitten from a breeder in Manila. I instantly fell in love with Caddie's big eyes and knew I had to bring him home.
That was December of 2016, I was applying for a Korean Visa because me and my friend successfully purchased tickets for BTS The Wings Tour in Korea! After successfully applying for my visa, I made my way to pick up Caddie with my other friend. We were so excited to bring Caddie home that we could hardly contain ourselves.
But let me tell you, it wasn't all smooth sailing. The moment we reached the bus station to head back home, the bus drivers refused to let Caddie on board. They insisted on putting him in the compartment, which I knew would be way too hot and uncomfortable for him. No way I was gonna let that happen!
Feeling a bit down but determined, my friend and I decided to cut our trip short and rent a taxi to Pampanga, which was an hour away from Manila. We thought we might have better luck finding a bus there that would let Caddie come on board with us.
But boy, were we in for a ride! In Pampanga, about 1.5 hours away from home, it was getting late, and we were struggling to find a bus. It felt like we were hitting one roadblock after another. We tried other forms of transportation, waited for what seemed like forever, but no luck.
At that point, we were both exhausted, and Caddie needed some extra love and care. It was heartwarming to see how he remained calm and seemingly unbothered throughout the entire ordeal. But we couldn't give up on bringing him home safely.
Finally, after some ups and downs, a kind truck driver came to our rescue! He agreed to drop us off about 45 minutes away from home, and we were so grateful for his help. We hopped back into a jeepney, hoping we were finally on the right track.
Even though it was a long and tiring journey, I made sure to keep Caddie entertained and comfortable. Playing with him and talking to him seemed to make both of us feel better, and it kept our spirits high.
When we finally arrived in our hometown, we were beyond relieved! The 2.5-hour ride turned into a crazy 7-hour adventure, but we did it! Caddie was finally home, and I couldn't have been happier.
From that day on, Caddie became my little buddy, following me around and bringing so much joy into my life. And despite the long and challenging journey, I wouldn't have it any other way. The bond we formed during that crazy trip is something I'll cherish forever.
So yeah, that's how I got Caddie home, and he's been my purr-fect buddy ever since!
