The project aims to establish a rescue station for stray cats in Suzhou,China,targeting stray cats and primarily attracting young women born in the 1990s.Through scientific space planning and the careful arrangement of human and cat movement lines,the rescue station creates a safe and comfortable home for stray cats,increasing their chances of adoption.The facility also provides basic medical care,feeding,and promotional services,along with a mobile app to sell pet supplies and attract donations.This operation model seeks to ensure the sustainable operation of the rescue station and can be replicated in other cities to establish more stray cat rescue stations,contributing to the overall welfare of stray animals.
