Zhou Lina had thought about adopting a stray cat for a long time, but didn't know how to go about it until she called up a page on Jingdong Mall, one of China's biggest online shopping websites, on Friday.

The Jingdong-Lucky Cats adoption center was put online by Jingdong Mall on Monday, to help people like Zhou adopt strays.

"I think Jingdong Mall is a reliable platform to reach these stray cats and I will contact them soon," said Zhou, an office worker in Beijing.
