Internet Not Prepared for What's Staring Back Behind Curtain

A video of a large group of rescue cats snuggling together has stunned viewers online.

The viral video, which has been viewed more than 1.5 million times since it was first posted on TikTok on November 16, gave viewers an inside look at the cats that an animal rescue shelter in China works to save are up to.

Audiences were left unable to make out the exact number of cats in the short clip, but there appeared to be dozens of furry felines present. Despite the busy setting, all of the cats in the video looked calm and content while relaxing together.

The video was shared online to the official TikTok account of Qiuqiu Manor, the Chinese animal rescue shelter that has provided food and shelter for all the cats seen in the footage.

The post was captioned: "See who's inside?"

The rescue center shared in another TikTok post that it has been working on saving cats since 2019. To date, Qiuqiu Manor has helped over 2,000 stray cats in need by providing them with a home on its estate, according to the organization.

In the same video, Qiuqiu Manor shared that there are eight catteries on site and that the shelter is keen to create a "natural" and "comfortable" environment full of trees and greenery for the felines.

It is unclear from the post where in China the organization's hub is based, but it appears that it works to rescue cats both near and far.
