On April 25, 2025, a blue cat wearing a collar marked “Zhaocai” was found badly injured on grass near Lianxi Road in Shanghai’s Pudong New Area. Rescue posts by Shanghai Adoption Home and several media reports said the cat died after being taken to a hospital, and doctors found she had been pregnant. Reports described the limb injuries with cautious wording such as “suspected” and “according to doctors’ inference.” Staff at Beicai police station told media that police were investigating. This victim was not an abstract case: she had a collar, a name, unborn kittens, and people who tried to save her.

“Zhaocai” on the grass

On April 25, Shanghai Adoption Home posted an urgent rescue notice about a pregnant blue cat found near a residential area or Lianxi Road metro station in Pudong. Public images show a red collar with a pendant reading “Zhaocai.”

Tencent News, Jimu News, Elephant News reposts and other outlets reported that the cat was seriously injured and later died after emergency treatment. Rescue information said doctors found that she had been pregnant.

Injuries reported by public sources

Many reports used cautious phrases such as “suspected limb cutting” and “according to doctors’ inference.” This archive preserves that boundary: severe injury and death are supported by multiple public reports; the exact method and perpetrator still depend on official investigation.

Public pages from Star Headline and Tencent preserve rescue screenshots and scene photos. Some images were already obscured by the sources; this site keeps them as published and does not invent additional details.

Police involvement and unanswered questions

Media reports said staff at Beicai police station in Shanghai Pudong confirmed that police had intervened and that the matter was still under investigation.

At the time of this archive entry, no final public penalty or responsibility determination was found. Keeping the file open prevents the case from vanishing after a short burst of attention.

The pain left by a pregnant cat

The blue cat was not a cold, ownerless object. The pendant on her collar suggests a connection with people, and the pregnancy means unborn lives were tied to hers.

Whatever the final investigation concludes, the public has already seen an animal who could have been rescued or cared for leave in extreme suffering. Recording her is a refusal to let such cruelty pass quietly.
