Many people have misconceptions about animal shelters, believing they are established and supported by government agencies or organizations. However, the truth is that most shelters are actually run by individuals who have dedicated their time and resources to caring for stray animals. In fact, many shelters started as personal rescue efforts that grew into larger operations as more animals were taken in.
Take, for example, the shelter at Zhixiang Zhuangyuan in Zhongshan, which has received over 300 stray cats and has even rescued a group of 200+ feral cats from a mountainous area. The shelter’s founder has also taken in injured stray cats and has had to deal with the costs of veterinary care, food, and other expenses.
The reality is that running a shelter is a costly and challenging endeavor. The average monthly cost of caring for one cat is 200 yuan, which adds up to 8,000 yuan per month for a shelter with over 400 cats. Despite the difficulties, many shelter owners continue to work tirelessly to care for these animals, often at their own expense.
It’s essential that we raise awareness about the plight of stray animals and the dedicated individuals who work to care for them. By supporting these shelters and spreading the word, we can make a difference in the lives of these animals and ensure that they receive the care and attention they deserve.
