Hello!

My name is Alejandra Vasquez, and I am a volunteer for Paw Pals Animal Rescue (PPAR).

PPAR was founded in 2007 by a group of individual Chinese rescuers. The mission of PPAR is to provide for the rescue and compassionate care of homeless animals, and to place adoptable animals in permanent loving homes. The group is committed to promote humane education, knowledge on pet health and well being, and to raise public awareness of the welfare of all animals.

All cats at PPAR are sterilized, immunized and treated for parasites prior to adoption. To this date, PPAR has rescued more than 300 homeless kittens and cats, and successfully placed them in responsible, loving homes. Currently, about 70 cats are under PPAR's care in its shelter and waiting for adoption.

The general public is always welcome to visit all the PPAR cats and kittens every weekend, from 13:00 pm to 16:00 pm, in the PPAR’s shelter at Jinping Road, Minhang District, Shanghai. PPAR hopes that in this way people who loves animals will come to visit and adopt them.

HOWEVER, one problem that PPAR has is that most foreign people do not know that PPAR exists and, consequently, PPAR does not have so many adoption as it could have if more foreign people knew about the group.

So far only one PPAR's article (in English) has been publish in internet. This was done by Shanghaiist (September 2011) and you can read the article (and see the pictures) in the following link:

http://shanghaiist.com/2011/09/19/philanthropist_ppars_cat_house.php

Consequently, I will like to ask you if City Weekend could interview one of PPAR's volunteers and publish that interview in the CW Radar section of your magazine.

Thank you very much for all your consideration and help. Best regards,

Alejandra Vasquez Delama alevasquez72@yahoo.com
