    About this ebook

    The perfect gift for cat lovers everywhere, Rescue Cats will delight and inspire with its collection of full-color, close-up portraits of cats and their stories of adoption, from the award-winning author of Finding Home and Forever Home.

    Celebrated animal photographer Traer Scott invites readers on a heartwarming journey into the lives of courageous rescue cats and kittens, captured in evocative images and remarkable stories. In these pages, you’ll meet:
    • Forrest, a majestic Maine Coon who was born with an impairment and found on the street as a twelve-week-old stray. After finding the perfect home, he now goes kayaking and camping with his family.
    • Linus, once a severely malnourished kitten weighing less than one ounce and given no chance of survival. After months of careful foster care, he grew to be a healthy and beloved pet.
    • A litter of kittens, shown week by week, revealing how quickly they grow and change.
    • And twenty more rescue cats whose inspiring stories of survival and resilience offer an irresistible celebration of compassion and second chances.
    Beautifully illustrated and engagingly written, Rescue Cats pays tribute to these amazing felines who have undergone remarkable transformations and found their forever homes while conveying the profound impact of rescue and adoption. For cat lovers, photography enthusiasts, and advocates for animal welfare, this joyful cat book is a poignant reminder that every rescue is a chapter in a larger story of compassion and redemption.
