When you think of stray cats, everyone's first reaction may be weak, helpless, homeless... However, recently, there is a stray cat named Ron in Shanghai who has been on the hot search list by strength. After "training", he successfully took up his post and transformed into the "inspector" of a coffee shop on Xinhua Road in Shanghai, full-time catching rats.
Ron "Inspector" induction
Letter of appointment, life guide, induction nameplate are all available
At night, the reporter went to the coffee shop where Ron worked, a Chinese pastoral cat that could be seen everywhere on the street, with white fur mixed with brown stripes.
The owner Jiang Meihua told reporters that in the past month and a half, the work performance of Ron's "Inspector General" has been impressive, and it has also made the owner Jiang Meihua finally breathe a sigh of relief. "You know what? In the five years since we opened the store, we have suffered from rat infestation, all kinds of ways have been used, fighting wits and courage, exhausted, with it, we can finally not be complained about by customers. ”
The coffee shop is located in the old house, the shop has been open for five years, and the rats have been raging for five years, and Jiang Meihua has no choice but to do anything about it.
"Sometimes rats come out and hang out during the day. Over the years, we have tried hard and tried sticky rat boards, rat cages, and rat poison, and they are not of much use. Because there have been cases of customers' pets eating rat poison by mistake elsewhere, we have also stopped using it. ”
However, in the past month and a half, Ron's "Inspector" has repeatedly performed miraculous feats.
In the work group, everyone praised Ron's performance:
"The power of Ron! Sure enough, it was 'Inspector', proving that it wasn't just a pet cat. ”
"Detective Saga! The first detective was successful! 'Inspector' is the best! ”
Before hiring Ron, Jiang Meihua had never had a cat. At first, Wang Ningning, a caring girl who rescues stray cats, came to her and asked her if she was interested in hiring a working cat to catch mice.
The reporter saw at Ron's residence that it had already applied for a "Pet Health Immunization Certificate".
"I'm Ron, cheer up today too!"
A detailed "Guide to the Life of Inspector Ron" and a letter of appointment that reads: Dear Mr. Ron, it is a great honor to inform you that you have been hired as the resident 'Inspector'. This cat needs to be conscientious, abide by the rules of the store, must not move right and wrong, must not leave the post without permission, must not jump jobs casually; need to conscientiously perform work duties, and have a team spirit with colleagues.
Ron Supervisor and Employment Assistance
I hope to train more "inspectors" and achieve a win-win situation
The successful employment of the 001 cat "Inspector General" made Wang Ningning, the initiator of the Work Cat Program, see hope.
Wang Ningning's job is to do graphic, visual, and service design. She has long worked with stray cat rescue agencies, but she has found that stray cats are difficult to adopt. The average family prefers to adopt kittens than adult cats.
At one chance, she wondered if she could exert the cat's subjective initiative and give the cat a job offer. That is, to invite neutered, immunized, dewormed, trained stray cats to the neighborhood, for the restaurant café to prevent rat infestation.
Before officially implementing this plan, Wang Ningning also had many considerations. For example, whether the shop owner will mind the cat entering the store, and whether the relevant health laws allow the cat to enter the store.
When she learned that most stores have needs, and that cats have no relevant constraints to entering the store, and only need to get the consent of the store owner, she plans to let go of the pilot. For the sake of insurance, she also asked a lawyer to review the relevant agreements and terms of the employment of working cats, such as what to do if the working cat catches a guest.
Soon, Wang Ningning, a working cat employment assistance worker, found Jiang Meihua, the owner of the Xinhua shop of the M2F coffee shop, and reached a consensus on hiring a "detective chief". Before taking up the post, the project team did a good job of sterilization, immunization, deworming, training and other work for Ron. Soon, Ron mingled with his colleagues.
Wang Ningning told reporters that Ron's job is to catch rats, but recently she found that the owner hopes to train it into a "shop cat" to entertain guests, become the image spokesperson of the coffee shop, and even want it to learn the posture of the cat beckoning. "It's so funny, now to be a cat also need slashes, in addition to catching mice, but also sell cute." At first all of us were worried about whether it would run away when the cat was in charge. ”
In fact, after the first dawn of the working cat plan, Wang Ningning had more confidence in the "working cat plan".
"Recently, the owners of many restaurants, including Liutangmen, have been asking me for a cat 'inspector'. I'm going to pilot it upfront. In the future, if there are more 'inspectors' trained and the effect is good, perhaps in the future, each cat 'inspector' can be paid as appropriate, such as 100 yuan per cat per month, which is used to continue to rescue other sick stray cats. ”
Netizens praised the idea
Says, "Don't forget to pay your cat's salary."
@Pig's Head Earth Cat: Win-win, how good! Health check deworming immunization is done worry-free. It is hoped that both the working cat and the employer will abide by the agreement and never abandon it.
@εYvnZ: There are fewer stray cats on the street, people are safe, cats are safe!
@咲ഒ*: This plan is very good, it can better rescue stray cats, and it can also be diverted for adoption, some stores want to get it, under the regular, both sides are OK. There's nothing the cat owner can't figure out!
@Super: Caring for stray pets is worthy of social publicity!
@ People in groups: Don't forget to pay the cats a salary.
@ Vegetable Dish: It is better to teach it to fish than to teach it to fish.
This method not only allows stray cats to find a way out, the store also solves the rat infestation, but also reduces the pressure on stray cat rescue organizations. Welcome to leave a message in the comment area!
