Dara explained that Mochi's life was in danger as it was nearly frozen, so her mother decided to take the poor animal to the hospital.��

Though they tried to treat the cat by keeping it warm, it wasn't able to drink water properly for a few days due to hypothermia.

However, thanks to Dara's utmost care and affection, Mochi began to slowly regain its health.

Spending a significant amount of time with the furry creature, Dara decided to adopt Mochi last Christmas.� This wasn't the first time the K-Pop star adopted stray cats; she also took in Cookie last June.
