From Simao’s Home blog:

Retired college professor Ding Shiying, 77, has been a celebrity in Beijing for years. She keeps about 150 stray cats, excluding another 150 that have died, in her old courtyard house near Beihai. People called her “Granny Ding”. During SARS In 2003, the number of the stray cats, most abandoned or mutilated, in her home was quickly building up. Granny Ding tried her best to save these cats. She spends her pension to buy cat food and vaccines. Many kind people donate food, sheets,vaccines and money to help her and the cats. [Click to see more photos: section 1, 2 ].
