The cats had been locked up in iron cages at a store in Tianjin in preparation for shipping to meat dealers in Guangdong. They were rescued by more than 100 pet lovers and animal welfare volunteers from Tianjin and Beijing on Tuesday. " The traders injected the cats with stimulants to keep them alive during transportation, " said one of the those involved, surnamed Wang. " According to my experience, some weak cats will die as soon as the effect wears off in seven to 10 days. " Local people have donated food and blankets for the animals.
