Book excerpt: If you want to learn how to rescue pets, then get "How To Rescue Abandoned Dogs and Pets". • Are you an animal lover? • Are you saddened by the fate of homeless pets? • Wish you could do something, but you’re not sure how? • You’re in luck! I have written this book from my own experiences to help you do that “something” you’ve been thinking about. There are hundreds of thousands of homeless pets. If you save even one of them, you have done something! But you don’t have to stop there if you don’t want to. This book will help teach you • How to identify your rescue abilities and goals • How to start your rescuing efforts • Where the animals who need your help are • How to locate and manage a feral cat colony • The importance of spaying and neutering • What to expect if you rescue a pregnant cat • Feline gestation periods • How to handle the delivery of kittens • How to care for kittens in the first 8 weeks • How to meet and network with other cat rescuers • How to expand and set up a corporation for your rescue • The benefits of applying for 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation status for your organization • Tips on recruiting volunteers • How to request donations for your rescue About the Expert Just like the people I wrote this book for, my husband and I started our pet rescue efforts on a very small scale. We responded to a craigslist ad by a local rescue organization that was trying to rehome an abandoned dog. We contacted the administrator and adopted the dog. As we spoke, she gave us some back-ground on her charity and explained how many dogs and cats are abandoned and homeless, and end up being euthanized at the local shelter. Through her and social media, we became more and more interested in doing our part, and basically went through the same steps I have outlined in this book. You can visit us on Facebook at PlanetNub (Nubbins was our beloved rescue cat who died at only two years of age of a severe seizure disorder). I would love to hear from you and hope you find the information in this book helpful. Thanks so much for reading it!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Finally, a book that deals with stray cats; a how-to guide to trapping and dealing with a stray cat. As a pet owner, animal lover and director of a humane organization that deals with stray cats every day, this book gives us one more tool to offer to people who want to help the thousands of strays that wander our streets. Bravo!" Joseph J. Sprague, Jr., Executive Director, Tree House Animal Foundation "Tamara Kreuz cares about the plight of stray and feral cats and gives practical ways to help them. Individuals and shelters can benefit from this book. If those who find stray animals can themselves set about to help by finding homes for domestic strays, or by creating safe havens for feral cats, this will make life a lot easier for shelter personnel, who are all too often overburdened by the number of animals they receive. We highly recommend The Stray Cat Handbook." Louise Holton and Becky Robinson, Co-founders, Alley Cat Allies: The National Feral Cat Network "This is a must read for those considering animal rescue work. The information and suggestions provided are first rate and are based on actual experiences." Linda A.
