How Hello Street Cat works is by monitoring every cat that enters the cat house, scan the cat's back, front, and sides, and create a file based on the cat. After the cat is monitored for awhile and it's behavior is recorded properly, the cat will be either neutered or adopted.
There are currently 400,000 stray cats in Shanghai, and the population is only increasing daily. The reproduction of these cats can be astounding, as in only 7 years, 420,000 kittens can be produced. Hello Street Cat works to control the population through [[TNR]] and adoption. They have partnered with over 548 animal hospitals to get discounts on TNR operations.
