A sanctuary for stray cats

A one-of-a-kind sanctuary was opened in Shanghai recently, marking a major breakthrough in efforts by local organizations to control the stray animal population in the city.

Called the Stray Cat Management Center and Stray Animal Education Demonstration Base, the facility on Yulan Road in Shanghai Pudong New Area's Laogang town is a massive 2-hectare haven for strays that comes with an 800-square-meter Cat Island filled with cats that are ready for adoption.
