About this ebook
There's no feeling quite like that of getting a second chance and a fresh start. When we adopt a homeless cat--or that cat decides to adopt us--we're not just giving one of earth's most beautiful and inscrutable creatures a chance at a good life, we're giving ourselves the gift of companionship, solace, and love. And plenty of laughter too!
This heartwarming collection includes more than 30 true, contemporary stories told by a variety of writers, including Melody Carlson, Lauraine Snelling, and Kristin Billerbeck. Each feel-good story involves cat rescue, some in a typical way and others in surprising--even miraculous--ways. Sometimes the question becomes: Really, who rescued whom?
A thoughtful gift for the cat lover in your life, Second-Chance Cats is the purrfect companion for cozy nights, lazy weekends, and any time you need a pick-me-up.

I was delighted to be given a copy of this lovely book via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. I am a firm believer in #adoptdontshop and have always included rescue animals as part of my family. I was an active member of the RSPCA’S junior branch, Animal Defenders from the age of nine or ten and became great friends with the lady who looked after the cats and kittens, this started a lifetime as a cat lover. Anyway this book is a real treasure containing as it does more than thirty true stories by a variety of authors which relate to cat rescue in a variety of ways. As all cat lovers know, human beings may decide to adopt a cat or kitten but in reality it is always the cat who makes the choice, we may kid ourselves that we are in charge but, however small our feline friend may be, they rule with a paw of iron! This is a wonderful book for all cat lovers, perfect to dip into at any time, particularly enjoyable when accompanied by a cat or three snuggling up whilst you read.
