In
June 2005, RAPS received an email from a lady in Beijing, China. Yaozhu Zuo
[Irene] is a retired science professor who resides in the living quarters of
Tsinghua University. She feeds stray cats near her home and asked if we could
help her in any way. Her resources were stretched thin; not only was money an
issue, but her neighbours were not very happy about someone feeding these homeless
animals.
Irene
has been networking in her neighbourhood to educate people about the needs of
these cats. She has been given meat and fish for the cats by her neighbours.
That helps her supplement the dried cat food she is able to buy with the money
we have sent her. From our collection can, pop sales and the return of recycleables,
we have so far managed to send $2,707.71 to Irene. A big thank you to all who
have donated. Recently Irene has been able to have two of the female cats spayed
thanks to the generosity of RAPS volunteers and friends of RAPS.
