Near Shanghai Disneyland, Cat Island may be the happiest place on earth for the 400 plus cats all former strays who now enjoy specially made grass tunnels and other features. The cats were all strays in Shanghai where they led less than cat friendly lives as there are no cruelty laws to protect them from those prone to torturing animals or those who collect them to sell to restaurants. Up until the pandemic lockdown most people in China didn't keep pets but that is one thing that has changed for the better is the isolation brought out the joy to be had from adopting a pet, plus the younger generation is slowly casting off the idea that animals have to have a utilitarian purpose to be worth their keep. All the cats on the island are available for adoption.
