Chapter 1093 Original Name
Yu Zhan never fights an unprepared battle. If he wants to do something, he must succeed, otherwise don't waste time! Therefore, after receiving a call from He Lushen yesterday and confirming his participation in today's cat rescue live broadcast, he began to make preparations.
First of all, he must understand the people who need his help. He did look through Richard's previous Instagram and saw a lot of daily photos and short videos of cats. In fact, you can't tell anything from these things. What Richard posted online must be the good side. Except for hindsight, no one can judge from these materials that he is a person who has a tendency to abuse cats.
However, Yu Zhan also obtained some information he needed. First, the two ragdoll cats were of very good quality, top-grade, and certainly of high value. As a new generation Hollywood male star, Richard would not buy cheap cats to reduce their value. Second, Yu Zhan discovered that Richard first posted photos of cats around Christmas last December, and in the photos, the cats were already mature. It takes at least three years for ragdoll cats to fully mature. With Richard's irritable and nervous personality, he would not have the patience to raise two kittens from a few months old to three or four years old. If he really did, the kittens would most likely be killed by him during their growth stage.
In other words, Richard must not be the first owner of the two cats. He must have bought ready-made adult cats to use as toys just to save trouble.
Next, Yu Zhan needs to find the source of these two ragdoll cats. The American pet market is actually only slightly stronger than that of China. There are many pet stores and catteries in various regions, and there are also many "backyard cats" with poor management and indiscriminate breeding. Tao Zhiyao once secretly visited a black cattery in "Cute Pet Hospital". Such a situation also exists in the United States.
But these two Ragdoll cats must have come from formal channels. Their appearance before they were abused was good enough to participate in international purebred cat competitions.
There are only a few formal, large, and monopolistic chain pet store companies in the United States, and the owners of these companies are all friends of Professor Stephen. After learning about the situation, Professor Stephen was willing to step in - Yu Zhan went to do the live broadcast for the sake of their joint company! The old professor contacted each store one by one, asking them to help identify the two ragdoll cats and check whether their company's branches sold two ragdoll cats with a unit price of at least $10,000 in December last year, and the cats had not been sterilized!
10,000 US dollars is the price estimated by Yu Zhan and Professor Stephen. For Richard, this amount of money is not much, but in the American pet market, it is definitely an unforgettable big deal. The price of ordinary ragdoll cats is usually around 2,000 to 3,000 US dollars. If they are not good-looking, they can be bought for 1,000 US dollars. Whether the cat is sterilized is also an important clue. Usually, mature cats sold in American pet stores are sterilized. If they are not sterilized, then there is an 80% chance that these two cats were originally used for breeding.
The bosses gave Professor Stephen face and actively helped. They sent the photos of the cats before they were injured to their pet stores across the country and even throughout North America. Their hard work paid off, and they finally found the source of the Ragdoll cat.

After careful identification and recollection, the manager of a pet shop located in downtown Los Angeles believed that the two cats might have been sold from him. Yu Zhan immediately went to the pet shop to meet with the manager.
The store manager told him that he had a friend in the same industry who ran a small pet shop. Unfortunately, this friend died in an avalanche while skiing last December. His wife was not good at business, so she transferred the cats and dogs in the store to him.
These two ragdoll cats are two of the animals. Due to their excellent appearance, they were once the treasures of the small pet shop.
Yu Zhan remembered the video in which Richard called the cats' names, and asked the store manager, "Do you remember what the two cats' real names are?"
The store manager thought for a long time, "It seems that the female cat is called Susan and the male cat is called Olive. Oh, yes, my friend calls them that. You don't know how much he loves them. He has been raising them since they were only one month old and has devoted a lot of effort to them, so they are so beautiful, and they are simply perfect in appearance," the store manager said, pointing to several ragdoll cats on sale in the pet store.
"There is no one here that can compare to them. I didn't want to sell them at first. I wanted to keep them for breeding, but they have bad tempers and are not as gentle as Ragdoll cats. They can't get along with other cats and fight every day, which makes my house very uneasy. Not long after, someone took a fancy to them at first sight and offered a price that satisfied me, so I sold them."
