    About this ebook

    Thousands of years ago, a cat purred, and humans listened. We were fascinated. Today, we're still fascinated by the purr, but in many cases, we've let our feline companions down. There are millions of homeless and hungry cats. These are but a few of the stories of the lucky ones, rescued from bad situations and given a place on easy street.

    You'll be inspired, you'll be awed, and you'll say "awww" over stories about cats like these:

    Ms. Sammy, the cat delivered to her "furever" home by the coroner.
    Lima, the kitty with a horribly infected tail, but who never stopped purring in appreciation of her human's efforts to help her get well.
    Hanuko, the rescue with two human mommies.

    Some people believe that homeless or shelter cats somehow make inferior companions. These rescue stories put an end to that myth, while at the same time reaffirming that humanity still thrives in the hearts and minds of good people.

    From tales of cats rescued from a warehouse, a barn, and even a coffee can, to heartwarming stories of feline determination and human compassion, every story in The Cat Rescue Diaries is evidence of what happens when good people seek out the purr and find their "purrfect" feline match.

    The Cat Rescue Diaries, Book 1. Print length: 112 pages.

      Introduction

      Among the numerous emails and messages I get from readers are some interesting requests. One of the oddest questions I get often goes something like this... Where can I get a cat? I really want one.

      Apparently, these people don't realize that their purrfect cat could be waiting for them to come to the rescue. It seems these folks missed the memo that on any given day, there are thousands of homeless and stray cats that need good homes. Some of these cats are abused, or suffer the pain of abandonment (a different form of abuse). Some are left in dumpsters, in boxes on the side of the road, or left to fend for themselves in the woods.

      Many are dropped off at shelters with any number of excuses. Some are too old or ill, and either medical care isn't affordable, or it's no longer convenient to keep the animal. Others are left outside the shelter door without a word.

      Unfortunately, I've also heard from those who believe that somehow, adopting a cat from a shelter or rescuing one from the streets means that you're welcoming into your home a cat of lesser stature. Nothing could be further from the truth, and I intend the stories contained herein to put an end to that way of thinking.

      The stories you're about to read concern the lucky ones, the cats who have found their forever homes with loving humans. These people cared enough to step up, and take these cats into their homes. In return, they're showered with love from their feline companions.

      These people are willing to sacrifice and yes, sometimes break some rules in order to save cats. In fact, some of these stories might just renew your faith in humanity, and they will show that rescued cats make fantastic companions.

      You'll meet cats like Bella, who changed a father's mind about cats, and Dusty, saved from the strip mines after being abused by a worker. Then there's the story of Callie, a calico barn cat who took well over a year to rescue.

      Among the 56 stories here, you'll read about people who found their soul cats, sometimes when they least expected it. There are stories from people who consider their cats to be their children, and kitties that changed the lives of their humans.

      You'll read about abandoned or feral kittens, saved from a harsh life and given a couch on easy street. You'll meet cats that were in horrible circumstances before being whisked away to live the good life.

      Because they're real stories, you'll hear some sad tales as well, of feline friends passing through. While not all sunshine and rainbows, if you enjoy reading stories of good people stepping up and helping cats in need, this book is for you.

      This book is hard evidence that there are still people out there who are compelled to show compassion and do good things. In fact, if it's two things I can say for sure after putting this book together, it's that first, if you're destined to meet your soul cat, you will, and second, when people with good hearts set their minds on saving animals, good things happen. If you love cats as much as my regular readers do, this book is for you.

      My Shadow, Spanky

      My cat Spanky, named after The Little Rascals, was adopted from the SPCA as a kitten. When I brought him home, he was so sick, with an upper respiratory infection and conjunctivitis. I remember waking up in the morning to blood on my furniture, the walls and just about everything.

      I called the adoption agency, which only offered to take him back, so I took him to the vet. They were wonderful and gave us all new medication. I made him chicken broth and nursed him back to health.

      Ten years later, he is a healthy, happy love, and he is my best friend, my shadow. He follows me all day long and greets me at the door when I come home from work. When I dry my hair you will find Spanky waiting for me to blow dry and brush him. He's my diva and my furry kid. We are forever bonded. He makes me happy when I'm sad, and he is a blessing.
