Rescue Cats

This precious book with gorgeous photos and stories about rescued felines will grab your heart and not let go. Shows how the life of a vulnerable animal can be changed by one loving home. A must-read for all cat lovers!

This book is an absolute gem. I am a rescuer and have had kittens with many of the disabilities that face kittens born to feral moms. I currently have a one eyed blind kitty, who lost his entire family to feline leukemia. Poots is surprisingly negative. I also have a TNR feral kitty with feline aids (FIV) who is living his best life indoors. I can relate to all these stories and I love that they have had such positive outcomes. Many do not. The stories are heartwarming and the photos of each cat are beautifully done. I will be using this information with in my speech therapy sessions to advocate and also teach the importance of spay and neuter, but also giving all kitties their best lives.
Thanks you #netgalley #papress for the ARC of a beautifully and informational book.

As an avid cat lover with three rescues, I knew I would love this book! I wish I could pet every cat in this book and hug the people that helped save them. This book is perfect for all animal lovers, especially cat lovers and anyone involved or interested in rescue work. I often see fundraisers or posts about sick or disabled cats at my local humane society, and it was so heartwarming to read similar stories and see the cats healthy and happy now.

I received an ARC from Princeton Architectural Press via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The photos in this book are beautiful and capture the regal nature of cats perfectly. The stories about each of the cats are thoughtfully written. Because the book focuses on rescue cats, each story starts with some mention of animal cruelty, abandonment, and/or injury, which could be distressing to some readers, but the stories have happy endings. I loved reading these stories about such resilient kitties!

Thank you to Princeton Architectural Press and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I am a cat person. I was so excited to receive an ARC to Rescue Cats. With beautiful pictures of the cats that really showcase their individual personalities, and the (some heartbreaking) stories of how they found their forever homes and forever people, this book tugged at my heartstrings in the best way.

Thank you Netgalley and Chronicle Books | Princeton Architectural Press for giving me the opportunity to read and review this lovely book.

I am a huge animal lover and have taken in many stray, sick or injured cats. This book is perfect for anyone who loves animals. The photos are gorgeous and the stories are heartwarming. I will come back to this book often because of this. I would love to see more of these books from the author. Would love to see black cats featured in a book. Thank you also to the author for fostering and working with TNR.

What an amazing book for cat lovers! Each story was heartbreaking, but followed with a happy ending. Forrest the Maine Coon was my favorite! Such a sweet kitty. The photos this book are beautiful. They captured each kitty and their personality so well! I truly loved everything about this book!

I started making note of all the stories so I could share my favorite of the bunch, but my list included every cat in the book. Heartwarming stories that share what a little extra love can do to change the life of these sweet babies. 🥰

I used to volunteer in a very small rescue and it was shocking how many of our pets had been mistreated. However, that didn't keep them from being wonderful, sweet, loving creatures who found happy homes. This book has a gorgeous collection of cats with short stories of how they were rescued and how they are living happily ever after. It's so heartwarming and the pictures are amazing. The photos are candid shots that show how much personality these gorgeous cats have, and it's so cute when they're looking at the camera. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

Rescue Cats by Traer Scott is loaded with adorable pictures and heartwarming stories of beautiful kittens and cats that are getting the chance to live their best lives. I have been a cat lover since I was extremely little, and have always been drawn to them. We currently have five cats, two are rescues. The book has so many interesting stories that draw the heartstrings. I love seeing the resilience in this magnificent babies, and the families and caregivers that see the beauty and wonder in trying what others won’t or can’t. The photos definitely make you smile, and I could look at those adorable photos all day.

As always, Traer Scott put together lovely photographs with wonderful stories, some that even make you cry. I tore through this book so quickly because of how much I loved his book on rescue dogs. I remember lingering on some photos and re-reading some stories and Traer Scott just puts me in a state of awe and admiration for the people who love their pets as much as I love mine, which I didn't think was possible (which, I'm sure, is what every pet lover says). A quick read and a great joy, I highly recommend Traer Scott's work.

As a cat owner and lover myself, I absolutely adore this book. Not only are the photos gorgeous, but the stories of these shelters cats touched my heart. As the author stated, cats are ofter overlooked and seen as replaceable. I am a vet tech and I have seen many owners give up on their cats because "they're just a cat". It breaks my heart every time but these rescue stories put a smile on my face. Cats are resilient and show so much love to their humans and the photos really captured their individual personalities so well. Such a sweet little read.

The photos are gorgeous, and the stories are lovely. My 6 year old cat lover enjoyed this so much! It would be a great coffee table book.

A great coffee table book or gift for cat lovers! The photography is beautiful and the stories drive home just how important it is to adopt versus shop for your animal companions. Be careful - this book may inspire you to adopt several new furry friends!

Thank you Netgalley and Chronicle Books | Princeton Architectural Press for the advance copy for review.

I was silly enough to read this while going through my cycle and god I bawled, learning about all these brave rescue cats and their stories, and also their humans. So many refused to give up on their furballs. I'm so glad the author decided to put this book together with their beautiful photography. Cats, they are magical creatures, and I truly think this book could open so many hearts to the love and beauty of owning and rescuing cats.

I am the proud owner of 11 cats I've rescued and 1 foster (I foster failed a ton).

I am 1000% a cat person and have 3 myself. This book was so touching, I loved hearing about the different personalities and accomplishments of each cat. Each cat is unique in their own way and there’s a cat for every type of person. I was genuinely so happy reading how strong and loving these cats are despite disabilities and/or bad upbringings.

Thank you to NetGalley and Princeton Architectural Press for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions within are my own.

Look, sometimes you just need to look at photos of rescue kitties and get a little teary-eyed. Don't judge me. The photos are lovely, and I'm glad those cats found their forever homes. I think books like this, along with similar videos posted by the Dodo and Geobeats, help bring rescue pets to people's attention and encourage them to adopt rather than shop. As a cute note, my own rescue kitty was snuggled up to me as I read this, purring.

I do have to mention that the writing was a little stiff, and I wish the author had sunk more into the storytelling. Perhaps with more quotes and more details of the cats' lives post-rescue. Nonetheless, I'm very glad I picked this up.

Oh my gosh was this a pick-me-up read. I love Scott's collection of short rescue stories and the pictures! Definitely would recommend.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC!

I found this book to be a captivating read. As a lifelong dog enthusiast, I was pleasantly surprised by the intriguing world of cats portrayed within its pages. The author skillfully delves into the traumatic experiences faced by cats, yet beautifully illustrates their resilience and the profound bond between them and their human companions. It's a testament to the strength of both feline spirit and human kindness.
Also the pictures of the cats are pretty cute. I'm not crying you are crying !
