Download or read book Miracle Rescues 9 Remarkable Stories of Rescue Cats with Tips and tricks to Run a Successful Cat Rescue Operations written by Rebecca Lingcat Ho and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-03 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scar was a street tomcat that lived 8 of his 9 lives in a deathly struggle to survive. His story had a happy ending after he was rescued and went on to become a local celebrity with a growing following. His story along with the story of other remarkable rescued cats span the breadth of this book. Along with these unique stories is an honest look at human-to-cat interaction through the eyes of a cat rescuer out in the field cleaning up the bitter results of sweet human intentions. I was rudely awakened but ultimately enriched by witnessing the tail end of events in this book which overlapped with the start of my relationship with the author. The knowledge encapsulated within the covers of this book was extracted from over a decade's worth of fieldwork, but its lessons, wisdom and implications will find application in any urban part of the world with a stray cat population. If you deal with cats professionally, this book is a must-read filled with crucial knowledge to help you better deal with what will be a substantial percentage of the cats you work with in your career. But rather than a technical or behavioral manual, the book is written in a series of chapters covering the life of several extraordinary rescue cats who through merciful and trained hands found a life off the streets and into a loving home. In an age of political correctness and please-all opinions, truth and all who depend on it have become the victims. If you're looking for a book telling you that everything is fine as regards the welfare of cats in Singapore, keep looking. If you are searching for a book that can help you understand the problems and solutions to cat welfare in Singapore and the world, you can stop your search and start reading this deeply truthful and revealing book. Prepare to be taken through a sequence of emotional highs and lows that can only be experienced by someone in the animal rescue scene. Brutally honest books rarely change the world, but they do frequently change individual's minds. And as has been seen so many times in the world, it takes just one mind to eventually change the world. This book shies away from what can sometimes be called 'toxic positivity'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many thousands of readers shared the joy of The Dog Who Rescues Cats, the amazing true story of Philip Gonzalez and his miracle dog, Ginny. Millions more watched their story on television news and talk shows. Since their first book, Philip and Ginny have been hard at work, carrying out their most incredible rescues - and their lives have changed in wonderful ways. The Blessing of the Animals is the story of their remarkable successes, from the back alleys of their Long Island cat-feeding stations to the backstage corridors of the Sally Jessy Raphael show. Philip and Ginny have become the world's most popular cat-rescue team." "When Philip adopted Ginny from a local animal shelter, he knew right away that she was no ordinary dog. Ginny's amazing sixth sense enabled her to sniff out abandoned and disabled cats, and before long Philip had devoted his life to rescuing and caring for cats in need. Today they feed over one hundred outdoor cats and have brought twenty into their own home; one is blind, one is deaf, one has no rear paws, but they are all part of the family. Since The Dog Who Rescues Cats, Philip and Ginny's rescues have grown even more heroic. There was Beige, a frightened stray stranded in a flooded lot after the blizzard of '96; two kittens plucked from the backseat of an abandoned car; and Chairman, a tiny kitten whom Ginny sniffed out in a carton full of broken glass. On national television Sally Jessy Raphael called Ginny "a true hero" and gave her a medal. One TV reporter said, "She's the Pied Piper of sick and disabled cats," and another noted, "You might call her the Mother Teresa of the cat world." The Blessing of the Animals is the second volume in a heartwarming, remarkable story."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Book excerpt: “No Dog Should Die Alone” was the attention-grabbing — and heart-stirring — headline of journalist Laura T. Coffey’s TODAY show website story about photographer Lori Fusaro’s work with senior shelter pets. While generally calm, easy, and already house-trained, these animals often represent the highest-risk population at shelters. With gorgeous, joyful photographs and sweet, funny, true tales of “old dogs learning new tricks,” Coffey and Fusaro show that adopting a senior can be even more rewarding than choosing a younger dog. You’ll meet endearing elders like Marnie, the irresistible shih tzu who has posed for selfies with Tina Fey, James Franco, and Betty White; Remy, a soulful nine-year-old dog adopted by elderly nuns; George Clooney’s cocker spaniel, Einstein; and Bretagne, the last known surviving search dog from Ground Zero. They may be slower moving and a tad less exuberant than puppies, but these pooches prove that adopting a senior brings immeasurable joy, earnest devotion, and unconditional love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.
