It was Zhang Zian's idea to do the month trial instead of the security deposit. There were a lot of people who were rich and thought that money solved everything. Even if they had a house, a high income, and were willing to pay the security deposit, how would that prove that they loved animals? On the other hand, there were people who lived in apartments with no stable income, unable to feed their pets high-quality food, but still treated them as a family member. So, if there was a pet available for adoption, would the former be better or worse?
Money has never been a standard of measuring love for pets.
A month of volunteer work, visiting the store twice a day, spending at least 60 hours taking care of the seven cats is no easy task. If the person stuck it out the whole month, it showed that he or she had patience. It also was a way to mentally prepare for their own adopted pet.
