Firefly Stray Cat Park in Southwest China's Chongqing city has launched a sustainable "cats work to support themselves" model. With revenues from ticket sales, booth rentals, and live streams, the park cares for more than 600 stray cats, providing dormitories, medical stations, and comprehensive services, including vaccination and sterilization. This "government + public welfare" collaboration creates a warm home and promotes harmonious coexistence between humans and nature in the Chinese modernization.
