Stray animals roam the streets alone, lacking shelter and food, as well as love, human companionship, and a family to call their own.
Fortunately for them, there are still those who attempt to improve their lives, and one of them is Wan Xi, a Chinese computer engineer who developed a method to aid stray animals, particularly cats, in surviving day after day.
This project will give food and temporary shelter for cats, as well as diagnose probable ailments using a smart camera.
He told China Morning Daily that it all began as an active effort to offer them a warm place to stay during the winter and food that they didn’t have to forage for.
His viewpoint shifted after he had the opportunity to collaborate on the project with some animal welfare experts. It evolved into a collaborative effort to lower the astounding number of 40,000 stray cats that die in China within their first two years.
Wan Xi’s efforts have resulted in the world’s first AI-driven cat shelter, which can feed and comfort over 100 felines while using facial recognition to identify them. The shelter is also kept at a constant temperature of 27°C. Food, water, and toys are available.
Definitely a safe sanctuary for individuals without a place to call home.
A team of volunteers also examines the device, despite the fact that it is an AI shelter, especially when the cats have a more acute need for attention.
There is also a database that is updated on a regular basis and alerts volunteers when there are cats in need of medical attention.
