Annie, known as "Silly Mom", has opened a "Silly Mom Stray Cat and Dog Home" in Fanling since 2017, renting an area of about 12,000 square feet.
She lives in the Kwu Tung area. She used to work as a restaurant manager. After work, she would often go nearby to feed stray dogs and warehouse dogs. Later, she realized that feeding alone is not the answer. She should rescue, neuter and return the dogs.
Annie rescued more and more dogs. She once raised 41 dogs in a 700-foot "cage on top of cage", but her practice did not meet her original intention of wanting dogs to be free and happy, so she resigned from her job and started building a dog farm from wasteland. , and in order to save money by transporting building materials into the village, hoeing the ground, and weeding, etc., while "injuring her body", Annie also used MPF to expand the dog farm.
Annie gets up at 7 o'clock every day to take care of the animals. She has spent a lot of time feeding and walking the dog, but she still goes up the mountain to feed other stray animals.

At present, there are 83 dogs and 22 cats in the field. Annie gets up at 7 o'clock every day to take care of the animals. She has spent a lot of time feeding and walking the dog, but Annie still goes up the mountain to feed other stray animals.
She admitted that she was the only one to take care of the venue, and it was not easy to run the business. The monthly food for animals alone cost more than 50,000 yuan, and the variable medical expenses had not yet been calculated.
Annie pointed out that in the past, she would make up for fires and pet grooming, etc. In the past, she lost her part-time jobs during the epidemic. Annie had to go to the pet store for "turtle food" and repay the loan when her income was better.

The whereabouts of more than 100 animals are unknown, looking forward to finding suitable land in the North District
Annie also pointed out that the windy and rainy seasons are coming, and relocation and construction will be "very difficult". The whereabouts of more than 100 animals like children are unknown, and she only feels "so melancholy" and "so hesitant"; I hope someone who cares can help her find suitable land of 8,000 to 10,000 square feet in Fanling, Ta Kwu Ling or Sha Tau Kok, so that she can continue to feed the cats and dogs of the community in nearby areas such as Kwu Tung while relocating the animals in the field. .
She also criticized that the government did not pay attention to the treatment of stray animals.

How much can people save if they continue to emigrate and abandon them?"

Planning applications, processing of short-term tenancy exemptions from the Lands Department and all technical advice.
