Cat Shelter in Nanjing High-Rise Residential Building: Noise Nuisance and the Secrets Behind Pet Cat Sales
Cats, as a common sight in cities, hold a special place in the hearts of many cat lovers. However, when these adorable pets are kept in large numbers and commercialized for breeding and selling, it can lead to a series of problems, especially in residential areas.
In a high-rise residential building on Nanjing Software Avenue, a "cat shelter nuisance" unfolded. Since July this year, Ding's family has been plagued by noise from upstairs. The sounds of tapping cages and floors, almost every night at midnight, have seriously affected their sleep.
Initially, Ding didn't know the source of the noise, and out of desperation, he reported it to the owner's group. Unexpectedly, the resident upstairs confessed that they had a cat shelter at home. Although the cat shelter had implemented noise reduction measures, the noise was still unavoidable.
According to Zhang Nannan, a staff member of the cat shelter, the room houses more than a dozen pet cats. The cat shelter staff are responsible for the daily care of the cats and also engage in breeding pet cats. Besides the noise, the smell of the cats has also affected nearby residents.
To resolve the issue, the neighborhood committee staff have repeatedly communicated with the landlord, hoping that he could regulate the tenant's cat-keeping behavior. The landlord was aware that the tenant kept many pet cats, but because the initial rental agreement didn't explicitly prohibit keeping cats, he was also helpless.
The matter was eventually reported to the Yuhua District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau. Law enforcement officers quickly investigated and discovered that besides cages, cat stands, cat food, and bowls, the cat shelter also contained some pet cats for breeding purposes.
Zhang Monan, a staff member of the cat shelter, claimed that these pet cats were for breeding purposes and purely for their own amusement, without any illegal sales involved. He presented a business license. The business license shows that the cat shelter company is registered in Nanjing's Qixia District, and its business scope includes feed, flowers, fresh flowers, clothing, shoes and hats, pet technology development, technical services, transfer, etc., but not the sale of pet cats.
However, law enforcement officers discovered that the cat shelter staff also provided a business license from Suzhou Wuzhong Economic and Technological Development Zone, with a business scope that includes the sale of pets and pet supplies. Upon questioning, both business licenses were confirmed to be legitimate and genuine.
Zhang Nannan, a staff member of the cat shelter, explained that the legal representative of the Suzhou pet store, Zhang Moulei, is his partner. Although no direct evidence of selling pet cats was found on site, based on information posted online by cat shelter staff, law enforcement officers remain suspicious. They suspect that the cat shelter is involved in off-site operation (selling) pet cats and need to further notify relevant departments in Suzhou for investigation.
It is understood that the cat shelter staff post photos and videos online showcasing the lifestyle of so-called "internationally certified award-winning cats" to attract customers. Customers can choose cats, but the cat shelter doesn't provide on-site viewing services and only allows transactions via courier or in person at agreed locations.
Lawyers analyze that raising pets in a residential area and using them for sales has already entered the commercial realm. Online distribution is just one method; keeping pets in a residential area can be considered preparation for sales.
Conclusions:
1. Cat shelters operating in residential areas should fully consider the interests of surrounding residents and take effective measures to reduce negative impacts such as noise and odor.
2. Commercialized breeding and selling of pet cats in residential areas should strictly comply with relevant laws and regulations to avoid illegal operations.
3. Government departments should strengthen supervision of the pet industry and establish a complete system for pet registration, trading, and transportation to regulate the development of the pet industry.
