Start at the pet store

"It's really amazing. We were quite worried about her at the time because we didn't know where the other party's ultimate goal was at that time. We could only keep in touch with her, but we couldn't replace her. It was really a sweat because of it, but fortunately, , She seems to be quite familiar with Mingzhou, so she sent someone to the administration as soon as she called, otherwise it wouldn't have gone so smoothly." Zhang Zhongde was also full of praise for the little girl.

Lu Jingxing nodded. He had an impression of this girl. It seemed that she was also involved in the batch of stray cats they rescued last time.

While several people were talking, the girl suddenly turned around and ran towards them: "Brother Zhang, it's done. Now we will transfer to the building materials market immediately..."

She suddenly looked at Lu Jingxing and shouted in surprise: "Lu... Lu Jingxing?"

"It's me, hello..." Lu Jingxing smiled and nodded, greeting her.

"Wow, you're here too. That's great. We are short of manpower and need to vaccinate and check the little ones..." The girl smiled with eyes crooked, and Yang Pei and others also ordered. nod.

"Going to the building materials market?" Zhang Zhongde asked.

"Someone helped rent a warehouse over there and said it can accommodate more than a thousand cats. The market also agreed. The warehouse can be used at any time. We need to transfer it there now." The girl nodded.

Volunteers over there who already knew the news had already started to help load the truck.

There are so many cats.

It turned out that all the cats in the big truck were piled together, and there were almost seven or eight cats in one cage.

When we first stopped here and waited, the volunteers had already helped half of the way down.

This will still be going around.

It used to be loaded in one car, but now volunteers and staff have called in seven or eight cars to barely be able to load it.

While the truck was being loaded here, Lu Jingxing also received a call from his factory master. They had also arrived in Mingzhou and asked where they were delivering it.

Lu Jingxing asked the girl again for the exact address before sending it to the driver.

In this way, when they arrive, they can just refill the food supply for the little ones.

Because the dog was sent to a dog shelter.

Because the dog shelter was some distance away, Sun Chongwu was originally going to send the dog food in the car there directly. Lu Jingxing thought about it and decided to go to the warehouse of the building materials market together first.

At that time, Sun Chongwu's truck of dog food can be sent to the dog shelter together with the dog food brought from the factory to avoid running back and forth.

After all the confusion, everyone finally managed to load the little guys into the car, and then headed to the building materials market together.

Because someone was making arrangements in front of them, as soon as they passed by, someone would come to pick them up.

There are also more and more volunteers.

With more people, unloading the truck seems much faster than loading it.

The master who delivered the grain arrived at the warehouse before them. When Lu Jingxing and the others arrived, they had almost unloaded the grain.

The volunteers were also moved when they saw the cat food piled in the corner of the warehouse.

No one needed to arrange it, everyone took the initiative to feed and clean the cats.

The little guys have been hungry for too long.

As soon as the cat food was placed in the cage, the little guys started to eat it.

The local staff responsible for handling this matter kept thanking Lu Jingxing. You must know that this is not a small amount. Although these few tons of cat food will not last long, but there are not many tons of cat food, tonight's placement will be difficult. is the problem.

Lu Jingxing said a few polite words, then took Yang Pei and the others into the warehouse and began to give the little guys medical treatment and injections.

There are many breeds of cats on site, such as blue cats, silver gradients, gold gradients, puppets, and even Maine Coon cats with good looks, etc.

There are also many who wear collars.

No one had time to sigh. If they were not discovered by the girl, they would not be able to escape the fate of being slaughtered.

This was the first time that Situ Fang participated in such on-site rescue.

He followed Lu Jingxing not far away and asked in confusion: "Master, there are so many cats, do these people really want to send them all to the slaughterhouse? Are there really people who eat cats?"

He felt completely incomprehensible.

Although he is a pet doctor and has seen all kinds of strange things, he cannot understand eating cats.

Lu Jingxing shook his head helplessly: "It is true that some people eat cats in some places, but there should be only a few people who are really willing to eat cat meat. Especially for cats of this breed, the most terrifying thing are those small black-hearted workshops that process cat meat and disguise it as other... When the meat flows into the market, you can tell at a glance that a lot of it is not bought, most of it is stolen by them. You can tell by looking at the variety, appearance, and collar.”

Situ Fang looked indignant: "It's really going to be cut with a thousand cuts..."

"Isn't that right? Think about it, your cat accidentally slipped out of the door one day. A few days later, it will appear when you go to the roadside to eat barbecue, eat fried skewers, or go to a small shop to eat hot pot. On your dining table..." Yang Pei took out a cat from the cage and said while skillfully checking its condition.

As soon as he said this, several volunteer girls helping him couldn't help but tremble: "Stop talking, it will make me afraid to eat kebabs in the future."

When Yang Pei saw it, he quickly raised his hand to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm telling my little brother, don't think too much, ordinary merchants still won't do such a thing..."

The girls didn't answer either, they kept their heads down and continued to do their own thing.

Lu Jingxing had no time to talk to them, because the original cages were too small, and the cages were also the kind of low-quality chicken cages, stacked layer by layer, and many cages were deformed, and the kittens inside were injured.

At first, Lu Jingxing and his team only handled some basic inspections, and gradually more and more problems appeared.

They needed to perform surgery on the little guys now. Many little guys would not be able to survive if they did not have surgery on the spot.

An operating table was temporarily set up, and Lu Jingxing performed the surgery on the spot for the most serious cases, and Yang Pei assisted.

Situ Fang and Ji An were responsible for the inspection.

Later, a few more experienced doctors came from Mingzhou, and it was almost dawn before they finally checked all the cats roughly.

Although Longan and Mingzhou are a few hours away by car, Lu Jingxing and his platform is not only famous in Longan. When he first came, he discussed with Zhang Zhongde and others, and also greeted the local relevant departments.

They have been live-broadcasting the accident.

Then another group of people were arranged to select the little ones wearing collars and contact their owners.

Because the collars usually have the owner's phone number.

Many people near Minnesota received the call that night and rushed over.

A girl was so excited that she couldn't say anything after seeing her lost little orange: "Woo, I've been looking for it for three days, I thought I would never see it again."

She hugged the little guy and kissed him non-stop.

The volunteers had to stop their work to comfort her: "It's good to find it, it's good to find it, look, there are so many who can't find their owners."

"Woo, um, can I help? Do you need my help?" Seeing that everyone was busy, the girl quickly put her little cutie in the airline box she brought with her, and helped without even wiping her tears.

With everyone's efforts, more and more little guys are lucky enough to reunite with their families.

But the number is too large, and the lucky ones are too few.

On the next morning, when Lu Jingxing finally had some free time, he couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the warehouse full of cats.

According to his understanding, there is only one stray cat rescue station in Minnesota, and before he came, he had called to ask because he had dealt with it before and knew that their conditions were not good.

He asked, and they now have about 300 cats, and they have always been supported by the support of caring people in the society. It is obviously unrealistic for them to take over such a large stall now.

The volunteers finally counted them. Except for a small number of cats that ran away when they were transferred to cages during the rescue, about 20 to 30 cats, and then dozens of cats were found dead in the early stage of the rescue, there are now about 1,000 cats in the warehouse.

This number is really not small.

This warehouse has no windows, and it will definitely not work for a long time, and cats cannot be kept like this all the time.

But, obviously, there is no better way now.

The only comfort is that many volunteers have sent a lot of supplies to the warehouse, including cat food, dog food, and medicine.

Lu Jingxing helped them rent a smaller room next to the warehouse to store the supplies.

Apart from this, he currently had no better solution.

He couldn't stay here forever. Finally, the girl who rescued the cats at the beginning came to him for advice: "Brother Lu, give us some advice. What should we do now? Many netizens are asking when they can adopt them. How will we deal with them?"

This is because they knew that Lu Jingxing had experience in dealing with them, so they came directly to learn from him.

Lu Jingxing frowned slightly and told the girl named Chen Mianmian what he knew: "As far as I know, there is only one stray cat adoption base in Mingzhou. It is obviously unrealistic to deal with the thousand cats here."

Seeing the two of them discussing, Zhang Zhongde and Yang Pei also came over, as well as two on-site managers.

Everyone nodded: "Yes, and those dogs yesterday, although they are now placed in the dog shelter, they have greatly exceeded the capacity of the shelter, which is a problem."

Lu Jingxing nodded: "I have checked our platform and the ones you posted on the platform. There are still many netizens asking for advice, but now is obviously not the best time to adopt. After all, the arrested people have not been convicted, and these little guys are still evidence for now.

Besides, the condition of the little guys is still unstable, and we need to use cat plague test strips to test the situation before we can talk about it.

According to my experience, it should be possible to start adopting them one week later, but adoption is a must. There must be someone responsible, and it cannot end up being a second injury to the little ones.

Then, for the little ones with collars, if we can contact their parents, we will try to contact them. As long as they are not abandoned by themselves, and it is really inconvenient for them to come to the site, we can send them back through logistics.

Then, the supplies we received, including the ones we brought yesterday, I counted them, and there is no problem with about ten days. I think our platform has been sending them, and caring people should provide some more.

There are also many brands we cooperate with that are sending materials here one after another, and they should be received in the next two days, so there should be no big problem with logistics for the time being.

At least in terms of care, although we have more female volunteers now, everyone is dedicated to helping the little ones. I saw many girls helping to unload goods, and they were no worse than boys. Many of them were even scratched by cats. Just light up the iodophor and continue working, so there should be enough manpower in a short period of time.

Now the popularity is there and there are more volunteers, but as time goes by, it will definitely not work if we continue with this model. "

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone nodded. This was what they were worried about. There were only a thousand cats, and placement was already a big problem. There were also so many dogs.

Seeing everyone frowning, Lu Jingxing continued: "I will also urgently contact the shelters in surrounding counties and cities to see if I can help divert some of them out. I have calculated that we should take in two or three more. One hundred is not a big problem, but after all, our place is quite far away, and transshipment is also a problem. At the end of the day, if you really can’t accept it, you should consider me taking care of it.”

This is what he was thinking about while doing the surgery.

Now that he's here, it's impossible to let them go, but it's a bit unrealistic for him to take them all in. Although it only takes more than five hours to come from Long'an to Mingzhou, it still crosses a province.

And even if it is transferred to him, it will take a long time to complete the above procedures.

Several people nodded again. Everyone actually knew what he said and understood the truth.

They just haven't dealt with it personally and don't know how big the matter is.

Chen Mianmian couldn't help but worry: "Brother Lu, when will you leave?"

"Ah?" Lu Jingxing hasn't thought about this problem yet: "It's okay. Even if I leave, I will make arrangements. Don't worry about this..."

It was as if they had found a backbone. Chen Mianmian even said, "You can't just leave. I haven't thought of what to do yet."

"Don't worry, even if I'm not here, we will keep people around. Now you go and have a rest..." Everyone has been tired all night. Like Chen Mianmian, they started following the night before and haven't rested for two nights. , several people's faces showed fatigue.

There were more than double the number of volunteers during the day than at night. Taking advantage of the large number of people, Lu Jingxing also got into his car to rest.

There were still a lot of things to do later, and he had to take time to rest. Otherwise, if there was another emergency, he would be afraid that he would not be able to cope with it.
