Second-Chance Cats is a collection of 33 cat rescue stories edited by Callie Smith Grant. Due out 15th Sept 2020 from Baker Publishing on their Revell imprint, it's 224 pages and will be available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook formats.
This is exactly as advertised; wonderful, mostly heartwarming true stories of cat rescue and adoption with the added twist of including the ways cats rescue and improve *us*, the humans who are blessed to live and interact with them. These stories run the gamut from "accidental" adoptions, to humane society stories, and crawlspace abandoned kitten rescues.
These are heartwarming stories full of love and hope. Each story runs a few pages. The writing is accessible and they are edited gently enough that they retain the voice of each of the authors. They're authentic and relatable.
This would make a lovely gift for a cat lover. The stories are short enough that they can be sampled one at a time like chocolates or devoured all at once.
Four stars. There's a lot to love here.
I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
