A kitten sits in his enclosure at a Buddhist temple in the suburbs of Shanghai on December 3, 2015. A monk named Zhi Xiang has given shelter to some 100 stray cats and dogs at the Bao en temple, because I can t see them die. I know I cannot offer them a good life here, but at least I can keep them alive, Xiang explains. AFP PHOTO / JOHANNES EISELE / AFP PHOTO / JOHANNES EISELE

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo, a tiny kitten finds solace in the peaceful enclosure of a Buddhist temple on the outskirts of Shanghai. Captured by photographer Johannes Eisele, this image portrays not only the innocence and vulnerability of animals but also the compassion and kindness that can be found within humanity. The monk responsible for providing shelter to over 100 stray cats and dogs at Bao en temple is named Zhi Xiang. His selfless act stems from his refusal to witness these innocent creatures perish. While acknowledging that he cannot offer them an ideal life within the confines of the temple, he believes that keeping them alive is a noble endeavor in itself. Eisele's photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our responsibility towards animal welfare. It highlights how even in unlikely places like temples, acts of love and protection can flourish. The serene expression on the kitten's face reflects its newfound sanctuary amidst chaos. This image transcends mere aesthetics; it symbolizes hope and resilience against adversity. It urges us to reflect upon our own capacity for empathy and care towards all living beings, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem. Johannes Eisele's poignant capture reminds us that sometimes all it takes is one person with a compassionate heart to make a difference in countless lives – both human and animal alike.
