Dongdaemun-gu Installs 20 Winter Shelters for Stray Cats Amid Cold Wave

Operating 20 Stray Cat Feeding Stations Around Redevelopment Areas... Resolving Resident Conflicts Through Thorough Management of 30 Stray Cat Feeding Stations, Continuing Efforts for Animal Welfare

Dongdaemun-gu installed winter shelters for stray cats in 20 locations, including areas around stray cat feeding stations and redevelopment zones.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor You Deok-yeol) has created and installed 'Winter Houses for Stray Cats' to help stray cats endure the cold winter chill and spend a warm winter.

The district installed winter houses for stray cats at 20 locations vulnerable to cold waves, such as around stray cat feeding stations and redevelopment areas where many stray cats stay.

Since starting to install winter houses for stray cats in 2019, the district has completed installation and operation at a total of 25 locations to date.

After winter, the district plans to collect the winter houses on its own and has attached notices about this to the winter houses for stray cats.

Since 2019, the district has installed a total of 30 stray cat feeding stations and manages them cleanly, resolving conflicts between cat moms and general residents, reducing the number of stray cats tearing open nearby trash bags due to hunger, and thereby alleviating residents' inconvenience.

Additionally, the district continues efforts for animal welfare by managing the stray cat population through T.N.R (Trap-Neuter-Return).

You Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “We prepared winter houses for stray cats to share warmth so that lives are not lost to the cold wave. In 2021, we will continue support projects through communication to serve as a bridge to resolve conflicts among residents caused by animals.”
