Cats have been a very popular furry friend in Hong Kong! However, with their high reproduction rate, Hong Hong is also crowded with thousands of stray cats and abandoned cats on the street. Some people might think they cause trouble and mess. Many strays are even hurt by other animals and sometimes people. Fortunately, some are rescued by HK Saving Cat And Dog Association. To understand the association's work and challenges ahead, as well as show care and love to rescued cats, we are now recruiting volunteers to visit and help feed the cats in their shelter in Tsuen Wan and support the regular cleaning work.
香港人多擠逼，卻住著成千上萬的流浪貓。當中有不少受傷貓隻，亦有市民遺棄的寵物，有一部分有幸得到香港拯救貓狗協會拯救，提供糧食、醫療、絕育及領養等服務。現招募義工到香港拯救貓狗協會的荃灣貓舍，協助清潔貓舍和貓籠、餵飼貓隻，藉此了解協會的工作及所面對的挑戰。
