SHANGHAI (China Daily/Asia News Network): A one-of-a-kind sanctuary opened in Shanghai recently, marking a major breakthrough in efforts by local organisations to control the city's stray animal population.

The Stray Cat Management Centre and Stray Animal Education Demonstration Base — the facility on Yulan Road in Pudong New Area's Laogang town — is a 20,000sq m haven that comes with an 800sq m Cat Island where the pets are ready for adoption.
