The "pet economy" is developing rapidly, and the topic of humans and cats is becoming increasingly popular. Recently, an incident that happened in the pet world in Kunming has attracted the attention and discussion of many citizens: a cat cage that emits a foul smell and covers less than 3 square meters has locked more than 30 cats. Out of kindness and love, a group of people from different industries launched a series of actions...

A young girl had pity for a cat outdoors

On April 4, Xiao Niba (net name) came to the Yangfu Badminton Hall in Guandu District, Kunming as usual. When passing by a blank field outdoors, she was attracted by something covered by a black plastic cloth. From time to time, the cat's hoarse cry came from inside, and occasionally struggled and fought. She walked closer and saw more than 20 cats were locked in cages, with two stainless steel basins placed in the cages. In her words, "the cat food mixed with filthy shit and urine is smelly."

Most of these cats are pet cats and have poor mental state, including common pet cat breeds such as Ragdoll Cats, Briton Shorts, Blue White, and Blue Cats. The cage divided into three layers covers less than 3 square meters of area. The gaps and on the ground are covered with shit and urine. The cats smell smelly. It is unknown how long it has been since no one cleaned it up. The cats saw the little mud approaching and looked up at her.

After returning home, she tossed and turned, and the cats kept lingering in her mind. It happened to Qingming Festival, and the temperature in Kunming dropped, and it was raining in the sky. Looking at the three cats I raised, and then thinking about the cats locked in outdoor cages, Xiao Niba felt that he should do something. So, by asking people around her, she contacted the owner of the outdoor cat cage. The other party said that he was in a cat occupancy, and because he didn't want to do it, he put the cat he was going to sell in a cage and put it outdoors. He also said that all the cats had been vaccinated.

"After all, the circle is limited, when will it take to adopt these dozens of cats? In addition, Kunming has been cooling down during this period, and some of them who are locked outdoors have already caught a cold and look in a bad state." After thinking about it, Xiao Niba published articles on multiple online social platforms, calling on everyone to "rescue these poor hairy children."

Caring people spontaneously provide place for cats

The article published by Xiao Niba attracted the attention of some pet stores and pet hospitals. The perch (net name) who was taking care of the Jinjian Cathouse sent the information to familiar peers and friends. The staff of Blue Whale Animal Hospital, Uno Animal Hospital, Dacheng Animal Hospital, and Chuncheng Animal Hospital also spontaneously began to forward these messages, discussed planned rescue plans, and decided to provide placement for these cats for free, treatment and sterilization.

The shelter of the cat is all, and the purchase fee becomes the only obstacle. Through multiple negotiations, the cathouse owner finally agreed to let Xiao Niba and caring people buy the 33 cats in the cage for 10,000 yuan.

In order to raise funds, Xiao Niba and his friends established a WeChat group, with cat-raising and cat lovers from all walks of life, as well as customers and friends, 30, 40, 100, 200... a steady stream of love gathering, and soon collected 16,127 yuan in relief funds. In addition to the cat-purchase payment, the remaining 6,127 was divided into 4 transactions and transferred to 4 rescue hospitals respectively.

On the afternoon of April 6, a group of young people divided the work and collaborated to carry the cats out of the cage and transported them to Blue Whale Animal Hospital, Uno Animal Hospital, Dacheng Animal Hospital, and Chuncheng Animal Hospital.

"The cats I received were treated in an independent room that was disinfected in advance. The three cats I received were all very thin, had severe respiratory infections, and had a lot of secretions from the eyes and nose. After arranging the accommodation, I started treatment immediately. I hope they can all be well."

"Thank you for your attention. There are too many kind people who have added me. I will reply here. All cats have been properly done now, so please rest assured."

...

A passage of text in the circle of friends has given people who care about the living conditions of these cats a little peace of mind. Some cats were found to have been infected with cat nasal brans after physical examinations and have received certain treatment in pet hospitals. Some pet stores also sent some cat milk powder and other foods.

The reporter of open-screen news learned that at present, the pet hospital is hospitalized for free for these cats throughout the whole process until the cat is adopted, and also provides sterilization services for this group of cats. The male cat is free for sterilization, and the female cat is sterilized for 300 yuan. In the future, it will actively help the cats find adopters.

There are two conditions for adoption: one is to have a physical examination in the hospital during adoption, and the physical examination items are about 600 yuan; the other is to pay a deposit of 1,000 yuan to the hospital, and lead the adoption contract one year later and return the full amount. Please contact the hospital directly for subsequent adoption.

The cathouse owner replied: It is not easy to make a living

So, why does the cathouse place cats outdoors and let dozens of cats of different breeds and genders live in the same cage?

The cathouse owner Ms. Bao said in a related video posted on her social platform, "The breeding farm is stuck in a large number of high-quality cats, and I hope that interested customers will come to buy cats." According to the reporter's observation at the scene, whether it is a kitten or a breeding cat, without a good living environment, the cat will get sick once it is sick. Fighting, breeding, etc. are problems, which will also affect the cat's quality and health, and are also unfavorable for the sale of the cathouse. Why did Ms. Bao do this?

The reporter called Ms. Bao. The phone was connected, and Ms. Bao said that the reason for handling this was that "the business was not easy to do, I want to live."

"The wholesale price of these cats is expensive, and the price I want is not high. When I bought breeding cats, they were only a few thousand yuan per cat, but now they are given 10,000 yuan and 33 yuan.. Some cat lovers say that I am a wolf and a dog, so what should I do if you call me? The cat and dog are unsalable, and I want to live a life too! I am a breeder. If I want to deal with it, I can pull the cat to the flower and bird market to sell it, but I have to be responsible for the pet store, otherwise I will not be honest..." Ms. Bao believes that she is also "forced to be helpless" and has her own difficulties. Her family is sick and needs care for her. Whether in terms of financial or time and energy, she can only do this.

In this regard, some caring people do not agree with Ms. Bao's statement.

Comments

After this incident was spread within a certain range by the Internet, it attracted the attention and discussion of some netizens. Some netizens said, "It has rained in Kunming in recent days, and this group of cats sleep in the open, losing weight, dehydration, malnutrition, diarrhea and coughing, which is so pitiful. Even if it is sold as a commodity, it should not be so 'abuse'. "Some people also said, "It has not been easy to do business in recent years. It is okay to see the cat's condition. Are caring people too sensitive? ”
