"During my travels of Asia, I was surprised to come across so many street cats," says writer and photographer Amy Mander.
"As exciting as it was to meet the cats, I did, unfortunately, witness ill-treatment and the real-life circumstances that these cats had to endure. Yet I also came across many people of goodwill who would feed these cats even though they had very little food themselves."
"As I walked the streets of Thailand and Japan, I encountered these cats and witnessed the daily life they led, which inspired me to document it by photographing them," says Amy Mander.
"In turn, I compiled all the images into the book, Street Cats of Thailand and Japan, in the hope of raising awareness about street cats in Asia."

You can purchase Street Cats of Thailand and Japan via Amy Mander's website. The book is small - more like a booklet - but it would make an adorable surprise gift for the cat lover in your life.
Fifty percent of the sales goes to the Asian cat center Kitty Rescuee.

ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to see them without homes good luck with your work to help them.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to see any creature without a home but the saddest of all are humans who do not have a roof over their heads. Best of luck to Amy in selling her little book and maybe some of those kitties will find homes. Thanks for stopping by and linking up!

ReplyDeleteI am a cat lover and would really enjoy this book.
ReplyDeleteI love all fuzzy little faces and have several of my own, not including the strays I feed. I would love to have this book for that reason, but I fear I may cry at (some of) the pictures 'cuz it bothers me so much to know so many sweet, loving and innocent babies have no homes and no one to love them.
