<div>While cat-torturing groups continue their cruel behaviors, and the cat meat trade still persists in China, there are remarkable rescuers who dedicate their lives to saving cat and dog lives, and Cai Zhen is one of them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It all began in 2014 when Caizhen adopted her first dog. She discovered that dogs are intelligent, loyal, and affectionate. She started rescuing stray cats and dogs in China, but the places she rented were either met with complaints from her neighbors or she was evicted by landlords.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In September 2020, she invested over a decade's worth of savings to rent a shelter in ZhongShan, Guangzhou, covering 2000 square meters. In March 2023, Caizhen's shelter rescued over 200 cats from a meat trade truck. From August 2023 to the present, Caizhen and her team have been rescuing cats from Qingyuan reservoir. These cats were purchased from the meat trade market by Buddhists and released into the wild with no shelter or food supply. Many of these cats were found starving to death. Thus far, Caizhen has rescued 139 cats from Qingyuan reservoir. In January 2024, Caizhen has rescued another 106 cats from Qingyuan meat trade truck. Her shelter currently provides care for more than 400 cats and dogs, including 15 disabled cats and 30 dogs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In China, there are no government-subsidized shelters, and many infectious cat diseases, including feline infectious peritonitis, coronavirus, herpes, viral rhinotracheitis, and panleukopenia, make rescuers' lives ten times harder due to mounting veterinary bills.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider making a donation to help Caizhen's shelter. Every dollar counts! All the funds raised will be fully donated to Caizhen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your support!
