The rescuer saved Qiu from an underground platform of the Shanghai subway in the Autumn of 2010. At that time, Qiu was only about 2 months and he was very lucky in not having any accident inside the subway station. Qiu has been growing in the PPAR Shelter ever since he was rescued. He is always a very happy and lovely cat … like sunshine in Spring!

Ask Shanghaiist: What should you do when you find a stray animal?
Because of the Spring/Summer animal love fest season, you've probably noticed a lot of sad, mewling, motherless kittens desperately screaming out for help in your compound. I've personally had quite a few friends come up to me asking me what to do when, hearts softened by these pitiful creatures, they've picked them up and taken them home. So, in order to give my friends - and all you potential foster parents - the most accurate info possible, we asked volunteers at Jaiya's Animal Rescue for a step-by-step process for helping strays. Here it is below:
