How Did “Free Kitten Adoption” Turn into a Cat Loan?

xiàn zài现在,hěn duō很多rén人xǐ huān喜欢zài在jiā lǐ家里yǎng养yì zhī一只kě ài可爱de的xiǎo māo小猫。

Nowadays, many people like to keep a cute kitten at home.

dàn但zuì jìn最近zài在zhōng guó中国,yì zhǒng一种jiào叫“māo dài猫贷”de的xīn新tào lù套路yǐn qǐ引起le了dà jiā大家de的guān zhù关注。

Recently in China, however, a new scheme called “cat loan” has attracted public attention.

bù shǎo不少chǒng wù diàn宠物店dǎ打zhe着“miǎn fèi免费lǐng yǎng领养”de的kǒu hào口号,què却ràng让hěn duō很多nián qīng rén年轻人bēi shàng背上le了chén zhòng沉重de的jīng jì经济fù dān负担。

Many pet shops advertise “free adoption,” but leave many young people with a heavy financial burden.

zhè xiē这些chǒng wù diàn宠物店zài在wǎng shàng网上xuān chuán宣传,shuō说kě yǐ可以“líng yuán零元bǎ把xiǎo māo小猫dài带huí jiā回家”。

These pet shops promote online that customers can “take a kitten home for zero yuan.”

hěn很duō多rén人jué de觉得hěn很huá suàn划算,biàn便qù去diàn店lǐ里lǐng yǎng领养。

Many people think this is a great deal, so they go to the shops to adopt a kitten.

dàn shì但是zài在dài zǒu带走xiǎo māo小猫zhī qián之前,diàn jiā店家huì会yāo qiú要求tā men他们qiān签yí fèn一份hé tóng合同。

However, before letting them take the kitten away, the shop requires them to sign a contract.

hé tóng合同guī dìng规定,lǐng yǎng领养rén人bì xū必须zài在jiē xià lái接下来de的yí一dào到liǎng两nián年lǐ里,měi gè每个yuè月huā花jǐ bǎi yuán几百元gòu mǎi购买diàn店nèi内zhǐ dìng指定de的māo liáng猫粮hé和yòng pǐn用品。

The contract states that for the next one to two years, adopters must spend several hundred yuan every month buying cat food and supplies specified by the shop.

hěn很duō多lǐng yǎng领养rén人hòu lái后来fā xiàn发现,diàn店lǐ里de的māo liáng猫粮bù jǐn不仅jià gé价格bǐ比wài miàn外面guì贵hěn duō很多,zhì liàng质量yě也hěn很chà差。

Many adopters later discover that the shop’s cat food is not only much more expensive than elsewhere, but also of poor quality.

gèng更ràng让rén人nán guò难过de的shì是,yì xiē一些xiǎo māo小猫běn lái本来jiù就dài yǒu带有jí bìng疾病,dài带huí jiā回家bù jiǔ不久jiù就shēng bìng生病sǐ qù死去le了。

Even more sadly, some kittens already have illnesses and become sick and die soon after being taken home.

zhè shí这时,lǐng yǎng领养rén人xiǎng yào想要jiě chú解除hé tóng合同,diàn jiā店家bù jǐn不仅huì会jù jué拒绝,hái还huì会yāo qiú要求tā men他们jì xù继续àn yuè按月fù kuǎn付款,huò zhě或者jiāo交jǐ qiān yuán几千元de的gāo é高额wéi yuē jīn违约金。

At that point, when adopters try to cancel the contract, the shop not only refuses, but also demands that they continue making monthly payments or pay a hefty penalty of several thousand yuan for breach of contract.

bù shǎo不少méi yǒu没有shè huì社会jīng yàn经验de的nián qīng rén年轻人yù dào遇到zhè zhǒng这种qíng kuàng情况,gǎn dào感到shí fēn十分wú zhù无助。

Many young people with little experience of society feel completely helpless when faced with this situation.

fǎ lǜ法律zhuān jiā专家biǎo shì表示,shāng jiā商家zhè zhǒng这种qiáng zhì强制xiāo fèi消费de的zuò fǎ做法shì是bù hé lǐ不合理de的,zài在fǎ lǜ法律shàng上yě也shì是wéi guī违规de的。

Legal experts say that this kind of forced consumption by businesses is unreasonable and also violates the law.

zhuān jiā专家tí xǐng提醒dà jiā大家,zài在lǐng yǎng领养chǒng wù宠物shí时yí dìng一定yào要tí gāo提高jǐng tì警惕。

Experts remind everyone to be especially cautious when adopting pets.

qiān签hé tóng合同qián前yào要rèn zhēn认真kàn qīng看清měi yì tiáo每一条guī dìng规定,bú yào不要qīng yì轻易bèi被“miǎn fèi免费”liǎng gè zì两个字xī yǐn吸引,yǐ miǎn以免diào jìn掉进xiāo fèi消费xiàn jǐng陷阱。

Before signing a contract, read every provision carefully, and do not be easily attracted by the words “free,” so that you do not fall into a consumer trap.
