Despite living a tough life at the train station, this selfless and generous man from Thailand has been living on the streets for years but that does not stop him from feeding stray cats on a daily basis. He may not have any children, but he knows the responsibility of care.
Meet Loong Dum who has moved thousands of hearts on the internet by feeding stray cats on the streets of Thailand even when he himself could barely afford a decent meal. Loong who has been homeless for years earns money by selling limes at the Mo Chit BTS train station in the bustling city of Bangkok.
The man, “Loong Dum”, has been caring for the local homeless cats since he first came across one. Every day he sells limes to raise funds to feed the strays.
When asked why he would make such sacrifices to stray cats, he said that the stray cats he feeds every day are his family and that they rely on him to get food. According to Loong, he did not mind not having food to eat but his heart would break at the sight of hungry stray cats.
The story of Loong Dum has viral after a young woman named Warunya Wattanasupachoke, saw him selling limes with a sign saying, “20 baht per bag, profits will pay for stray cats food expenses.”
Animal lovers admire his kindness and offer to help him when his story is made around on social media. Some of them came to buy limes from him while others gave him cat food and supplies.
Loong may still be living on the streets and selling limes to earn money to buy food for the stray cats, but he knows it makes his heart content.
According to Warunya, she learned that Loong got the limes from a kind-hearted stranger for free. She later proceeded to buy several bags of limes from him.
“We shouldn’t judge someone based on their appearance,” Warunya said.
“Take Loong Dum for example. Though he is homeless and rugged-looking, he has a big heart,” she added.
After that, some people even took him to get a haircut and gave him brand-new clothes. After he got his makeover, he went back to the street to sell limes because his life is meaningless without his beloved cats.
