Also on Chinastic: Treat Your Pets Kindly

For Grandma Ding, 24 hours in a day is not enough time to take care of over a hundred animals. But people keep throwing away cats, and street cats keep finding refuge at Grandma Ding's. To this elderly lady of small-stature, protecting animals is just part of her "mother hen" instinct; she couldn't even imagine giving up any of her pets.
Exhaustion has become the common feeling of each day for her. And she is getting more overwhelmed as the number of animals keeps increasing. She deals with many challenges: when 10 kilograms of cat food is not enough for one day, when volunteers come and go, when each spaying/neutering procedure costs hundreds of yuan. Her total monthly costs reach 4000 yuan, which is close to the amount earned by an average white-collar worker.
But Grandma Ding is happy, isn't she? She's already 78 years old but she looks 58. After spending sixty years of her life with cats she has developed a deep feeling towards them - pure love. And this kind of love isn't just shown with two little words; it involves daily actions, all part of providing a haven for stray animals. Grandma Ding offers her eternal care and love to these needy animals, befriending them when the rest of the world has turned its back.
Extra information:
If you love animals and want to help, Grandma Ding will be very glad if you visit her house and spend some time with the cats, each of whom by the way, has its own name. The address is: 24 Longtoujing Jie, near the back door of Beihai Park, Beijing. 86 10-6617 3634 (北京北海后门龙头井街24号)
