Luo Yingmei, who passed away in May at the age of 82, had adopted stray dogs and cats over a period of 25 years.
The animals were housed in three rented suburban apartments in western Shapingba district, costing her almost 10,000 yuan (US$1,971) a month for rent, pet food, veterinary fees and the salaries of her two helpers.
She survived on donations, mostly from six core benefactors.
