A group of volunteers are feeding and caring for over 30,000 pets without guardians in Wuhan, China after the animals’ caretakers were stranded outside the city due to a coronavirus lockdown.
The Chinese Government closed off the city on January 23, and without anyone around to provide food, water or medication for these dogs and cats, they faced an uncertain future. Fortunately, a few brave people are helping them.
This heartwarming video follows one volunteer, Ye Jialin, who is also known as the “cat rescuer of Wuhan.” He searches the deserted city streets aiding as many frightened pets as possible. By cleaning litter trays and providing food and water to these helpless creatures, Jialin is putting his own life at risk, but he isn’t worried about his own safety. His only concern is saving the lives of others.

thank you for saving these beautiful cats
Poor people, poor animals.
Very brave.
Poor people, poor animals.
Very brave.
Thank you for taking care of these abandoned pets. I can’t believe people would toss them out or neglect them because of this deadly virus. Pets aren’t responsible for this virus. When will people get a clue??
Maybe they weren’t permitted to take their pets, since animals may also contract Coronavirus.
How is this man doing? Is he safe & is he still able to help the dogs & cats there in China?
Please give us a follow – up soon!
Thank you for all that you are doing for people’s beloved pets! It gives me hope that there are some people in Aisan countries who care about cats and dogs. What an angel!
True hero, thank you
A very big thank you!
This is what true compassion and heroism look like! In times of desolation and darkness, they make the world a better place!
I can only agree with BOZENA GOLEMO on February 20, 2020 at 11:06 pm.
HE IS A HERO! AN ABSOLUTE HUMAN HERO!
I THANK GOD for people who are willing to go out of their way to help an animal in need! We humans are so very fortunate to share this planet with animals. Animals enrich our lives GI-NORMOUSLY and the joy they give us is PRICELESS! God bless ALL animals, their environments and the people who are passionate about them!
Thank you so much to these kind and courageous people!
Thank you so much, brave and caring souls of China, for helping these abandoned animals who would otherwise be dead, murdered or eaten by those other not-so-compassionate inhabitants in China. These animals aren’t the ones that created this horrible disease nor by some underground “cult”, it’s the filthy, overcrowded conditions and the eating of anything that crawls or walks. I thank God that there is an intelligent, compassionate and informed populous that is helping these animals. Again, a big “THANK YOU” to the loving volunteers in the Guardian.
Thank You for Saving Them. I am so thankful you know they are not causing coronavirus, people are. Animals can’t. People cannot get sick from Animals.
Joan — you said it! — I feel sorry for the Animals, AND for the People who care about these Animals (and seem to get nowhere in ERADICATING these horrific, cruel Animal enterprises) — I pray all this abusive horror STOPS — life will change for the better once these MONSTERS are SHUT DOWN and put out of business.
A big thanks to all who are helping the animals.
God bless them. This man is a genuine hero.
God bless that young man who volunteers to care for and rescue all those abandoned pets in Wuhan!!
Thank you.
God bless this man. What an absolute angel.
There is a special place in he’ll for Animal abusers. The law should be as exacting and fair to all living species.
Those people are getting KARMA for the horrible rotten things they do to animals there in their country – I am thankful these people have gone out of their way to help these innocent cats considering those shitty people there in that country been murdering these poor animals over the disease these freaks caused!
What a wonderful person! With the heart in the right place to save these helpless animals from starvation. That’s the other side of China!
thank the volunteers for their compassion and reverence for life!!!!
What a wonderful Human Being — what a HERO you are YE JIALIN and team — thank you for your sanity, for your compassion, for your consideration and respect — I HOPE you all come out of this healthy and happy — THANK YOU.
Thank you Ye Jialin! You are a wonderful person and a hero!! I’m thankful there are people like you in this world!
They should be thanked and congratulated.
Dear voluonteeers , You are HEROS! Thank you so much!
horreur
Så veldig fint gjort! Bless
Thank Hod for volunteers like aye Jialin. The communist government doesn’t care that animals are starving.
I am glad to see that there are some good people there to help the cats and dogs.
HERO! AN ABSOLUTE HUMAN HERO!
HERO! AN ABSOLUTE HUMAN HERO!
Please send these people a few dollars or pounds they are trying to feed this huge amount of cats and dogs. Money for medical expenses must be vast. What wonderful work they are doing. I applaud them.
I want to thank each of the volunteers for taking care of these helpless animals. God bless all of you!
