Kids around the world are making a difference in the lives of cats. Readers will be inspired to become Cat Champions, too!
Around the world, young people are making a difference in the lives of cats. In Cat Champions: Caring for our Feline Friends, meet kids who are helping at shelters, fostering kittens, volunteering with sterilization programs, and caring for abandoned cats. Animal advocate Rob Laidlaw brings readers a hopeful, inspiring look at the issues facing domesticated and feral cats, and the “Cat Champions” who are working to help them.
Informational sidebars throughout the book describe issues facing cats (“The Cat’s Out of the Bag”) as well as good-news feline facts (“The Cat’s Meow”). Filled with colour photographs and real-life stories, Cat Champions will inspire and empower readers of all ages.
