Rescue Cats: Portraits & Stories

Cat rescue has blossomed in recent years, as more and more people are choosing to adopt cats from animal shelters and homegrown rescue organizations and have categorically steered away from purchasing cats from breeders. In this beautifully illustrated book, Susannah Maynard provides personality-rich portraits of cats and kittens and details their journeys from a turbulent start to a warm, loving, happy, and safe home. Cat lovers will find heartwarming and triumphant stories that point to felines' charms and unconditional love. Her subjects include kittens, adult cats, and special needs cats--of all breeds, and of course, mixed breeds--and her stories will empower readers to join the rescue effort or bolster their efforts to increase their volunteer involvement to better the lives of rescue cats, one animal at a time.

About the Author
Maynard, Susannah: - Susannah Maynard is a lifelong animal lover, animal rescue advocate, and pet photographer. Long before she picked up her first camera, she captured images of the world around her with a pad of paper and a box of crayons. From her early childhood, Susannah was surrounded by a house full of cats, beginning her lifelong love of animals. After trying a variety of careers, from fundraising to publishing, Susannah was at a career crossroads when, in 2011, she adopted her heart dog, Mr. Bojangles, and discovered there was such a profession as pet photographer. Deciding to turn her love of both photography and pets into a career, Pet Love Photography was born. Susannah has spent the last several years photographing hundreds of rescue and client pets. She primarily works on location to make sure that her pet subjects are as comfortable as possible in environments that are familiar to them.
