To Catch a Cat: How Three Stray Kittens Rescued Me

Heather Green. Berkley, $16 trade paper (272p) ISBN 978-0-425-28198-7

Discovering a feral cat and its kittens in her boyfriend Matt’s backyard in New Jersey inadvertently sets Green, a journalist, on a path to self-discovery as she becomes a cat rescuer. Green, the daughter of an Air Force pilot, had mastered the art of moving and never becoming deeply attached to places or people. Saving three kittens, however, upends her carefully arranged life as a writer for Businessweek, living in Manhattan and spending weekends with Matt. Gaining the trust of the kittens, socializing them, and tending to them forces Green to engage in a way she had never done before. Green reconsiders her own approach to life and slowly begins to trust others. Combining her tale of rescue with stories of people who save feral cats, Green shows readers the transforming powers of patience and commitment. [em](July) [/em]
