I didn’t really go away. I still run to pawpaw every night when he comes to feed the cats. I meet him through every injured cat he rescues. Through every cat he spays or neuters. At night, I curl up beside him through Kitanu. I purr at him through Bill, and I sleep on his legs as Joey. As Sasha, I kiss his eyelids when he is sleeping. I stretch beside him on the sofa as Jack Sparrow, and get into his blanket and purr as Kyra. And sometimes, when I see his tears flow down his cheeks onto the pillow, I sit beside him and I pawtect him. Because while we cattos have nine lives, my pawpaw only has one.

Cuddles and Puddles will take you through a roller coaster of emotions as you see the world through the eyes of some of The Catrina Foundation's most interesting cat rescue cases. You will cheer for Samara as she leaps off the terrace, you will immerse yourself in the post-pandemic fantasy world of Kitanu. You will root for Bill, you will smile at Leo's journey. And as you read through these heart-warming stories, we hope you will understand these amazing animals for what they really are - smart, tenacious, sensitive and loving, and hopefully, do yourself the favor of adopting a cat some day!
