Changsha Small Animal Protection Society (CSAPS)
Xiao Xu manages the Changsha Small Animal Protection Society. It has two hundred members, over a thousand supporters and is one of the few organisations to be officially registered with the local Municipality and to receive Government funding to launch a stray animal control programme. Their main focus is on animal rescue and adoption that receives full support from the media including a television station that often invites them for interviews and also allocates time slots to promote animals that need a home.
In addition to running a well-organised shelter with healthy cats and dogs, the team works hard to educate the public about the benefits of sterilisation, by holding events around the city and offering free sterilisation vouchers to be used at local veterinary clinics. A veterinary training programme is also being planned in parallel with these activities to ensure vets around Changsha exercise high welfare standards.

Dear supporters of Naturewatch,
I would like to thank you very much for caring about animals in our country. With your generous donations and ACTAsia’s guidance, we have started to tackle the stray animal problems by promoting neutering in our city to replace the existing catching and killing approach used by the government. We also held an event to promote neutering of stray animals where we distributed neutering vouchers to pet owners. We are eager to broaden our neutering campaign by involving vets and other audiences and I hope you will keep assisting us in that effort.
Many warm greetings from all of us at Changsha Small Animal Protection Society and I’m looking forward to bringing you more positive developments in the near future.
Liu Huei
Founder of Changsha Small Animal Protection Society
