Chapter 40: Adoption in Lieu of Purchase (Seeking Follow-up)
"The cats that are put outside are all cats with good personalities and are not afraid of people, so they will not easily have a stress reaction", Xu Rui, who was in charge of ordering, patiently explained to the guests.
Of course, she didn't make it clear that these cats are very cute and coquettish, and most customers will voluntarily spend money to buy some cat food, cat strips and other food in the store to feed, which can be regarded as self-supporting.
As for those locked in the partitions, they either have flaws in their personalities or are not very clever, and they can't earn food on their own, so they can only earn food money by 'selling their hues' inside.
Of course, the restaurant is not abusing the cats, and they will also release the cats for a period of time when there are no guests visiting.
It's just that this is laborious and thankless to explain to tourists, Xu Rui automatically skipped these reasons and directly said the most simple and clear reasons.
"I think the cats here are all rescued, is it sponsored by someone or is the zoo feeding it uniformly?"
Wang Quan was very interested in this restaurant, which resembled an animal love rescue station, and couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
Xu Rui saw that the old man on the side was still pulling the child to read the menu, so she continued to patiently explain to the guests.
This restaurant is set up by the park, and the cats in the store are also raised by the zoo, of course, there are many caring tourists who pass by here, and are willing to sponsor spontaneously, and they can be funded regularly by adding the WeChat public account of the "Big Cat Restaurant", and then choose a video return visit or on-site visit from time to time.
"Do the cats in the store accept adoption?"
Wang Quan remembered what Zhang Liping said about raising pets in the show, he also had the idea of buying pets after watching Qian Lai's cats and dogs, but at this time, he saw a lot of cats in the store, and he wanted to adopt instead of buying pets.
It's not that you can't afford to buy a pet, but there are many benefits to adopting instead of buying.
First, the rescued stray animals have been cared for and treated, and their bodies are restored, so there is no need to worry about buying pets with hidden diseases like buying them from unscrupulous merchants.
In addition, adoptions generally have a more rigorous review process, which allows adopters to seriously think about whether they are suitable for pets.
Wanting to have a pet is only Wang Quan's own idea, he hasn't asked Wang Xiaoyu and Jiang Yi's opinions, if they don't know whether they are suitable for pets, then it is undoubtedly a good thing to have a series of questions and screening checks for adoption.
It's a pity that although his idea is good, Xu Rui's answer is not as he expected, "I'm sorry, the furry children we rescued do not accept adoption, and all cats have been sterilized, and they will not reproduce offspring."
"That's it~"
Wang Quan was a little melancholy when he didn't get the answer he wanted, but he still took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code on the wall and followed the restaurant's official account.
At this time, Jiang Hua and Wang Xiaoyu on the side finally ordered a meal, a curry chicken steak rice per person, plus some snacks such as vegetable salad and honey mustard shrimp balls.
Otherwise, Jiang Hua hugged it just now, Wang Xiaoyu would have wanted to jump off the chair and touch the cute cats on the ground.
Now that she had the opportunity, she struggled to jump out of the old man's arms, and then "smack" at the nearest Ragdoll cat.
The Ragdoll had a poor face, half of its brown hair was missing, and it looked like a pirate covering one eye.
But if you don't look at it according to the so-called beauty standards of the Ragdoll cat, whether it is its pale blue eyes or its tail like a fur collar, it can be said to be a very beautiful cat.
It came to Wang Xiaoyu's hand with unhurried steps, and gently rubbed her palm with its head, and its movements were extremely gentle.
"Candy, mother, abandoned because of impure blood", Wang Quan found the basic information of the cat on the wall, and also saw its sponsorship information on the WeChat public account.
"Sponsor: None".
It may be the reason for its good character, many visitors to the store will feed it, but it has no sponsor for the time being.
Seeing Wang Xiaoyu stroking the candy there and licking the harmonious scene of the candy licking his daughter, Wang Quan had the idea of sponsoring, but he didn't say it in a hurry.
After Xu Rui sent the kitchen to order the menu, she kept her eyes on Wang Xiaoyu, and was relieved to see that she didn't pull the cat's hair or slap and scare the cat like some naughty children.
There are fewer tourists today, and there are only a few tables in the store, so the speed of serving the food is very fast, Jiang Hua also took Wang Xiaoyu back to wash her hands, and then began to take her to eat.
Although there are many cats living in the store, the hygiene and cleaning of the store is good, the food is also very clean, and there are often cats walking by the feet, the overall dining experience is still very pleasant.
Xu is because he has to feed the cats, the price of the food in the store is more expensive than the outside, and the lunch for four people costs nearly 300 yuan in total.
Jiang Hua, who had been spending money all the way, seemed to have reacted, and wanted to ask his wife for help when he was paying, but who knew that Sun Xiurong not only ignored him, but even grabbed Wang Quan, who was about to settle the bill.
Jiang Hua, who realized that his private money was exposed, had no choice but to settle the account helplessly and heartbrokenly, and the small treasury, which was not very wealthy, shrank a lot in an instant.
Before leaving, Wang Xiaoyu also said goodbye to the candy, and Wang Quan also took the opportunity to consult the staff about sponsorship.
Unlike adoption, sponsorship is when caring people voluntarily contribute money to provide food, drink and treatment for pets, which is simpler than adoption.
The main cost of adult cats like candy is still on cat food, and the sponsorship fee is about 150 yuan per month, and it will cost nearly 2,000 yuan a year.
Wang Quan is obviously not short of this money, after he left Xu Rui's contact information, he chose to sponsor candy for a year, during which he can call and visit at any time, or he can choose to visit candy in the store.
Out of the big cat restaurant, Wang Quan felt that he still had time to sit with Wang Xiaoyu and Jiang Yi to discuss whether to have pets.
In his opinion, having a pet is like giving birth to a child and raising a child, if there is not enough psychological construction and expectations, it is difficult to patiently cultivate and accompany your pet, it is better not to raise.
In order to really find a partner for Wang Xiaoyu to grow up with, he decided to do more homework and consult his daughter's opinions.
Ahead, Jiang Hua took Wang Xiaoyu to watch the tiger outside the fence, and the grandfather and grandson were still happy.
Sun Xiurong noticed what her son-in-law did, but she didn't get involved too much.
Whether it is to educate children or Wang Quan's own kindness, in her opinion, it is not a bad thing and can be supported.
So except for Wang Quan's mentality changes, all this seems to have never happened, and the family is still happily continuing today's trip to the zoo.
