Residents of Shanghai successfully rescued hundreds of cats from traders last Sunday.

Cui, a cat lover, found traders shipping cats in cages near her home and took a taxi to follow the truck. She also informed other animal lovers, and four hours later, they finally stopped the truck with 21 cages, each cramped with more than 20 cats.

Many of the cats were wearing collars.

The cats were going to be sold off to restaurants.

The driver of the truck was arrested.
