How do you find the street cats in your school? Cat food? At Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), students made on their phone a mini-program(小程序) Beiwai Cats to help students find the cats in their school and get to know them.
On Beiwai Cats, every cat on the eastern campus ( 东 校 园) of the university has an"ID card". The cards show the cats' photos with information(信息), like what the cats look like, where to find them, whether(是否) they like people. Cat lovers can even adopt the school cats to give them a home on Beiwai Cats.
Zhou Hengxiao, 20, helped make the mini-program. He said it is good for both the students and the cats. With the"ID cards", students can learn more about the cats. If students know the cat is afraid of people, they will be more careful not to touch(触碰) it. So the cat may not get scared so often and the students are less likely to get scratched(被抓伤).
Zhou's group are working on platforms like Weibo, Bilibili and Xiaohongshu to make more people know Beiwai Cats. "When we make money from these platforms, we can use the money to buy more food for the cats, "he said.
Zhou said they hope to help more street cats on Beiwai Cats. "We don't have much money, but we want to do our best to give these small lives a home, "said Zhou.
