I love how this book introduces each cat and gives a back story on their history. It really makes the reader connect to each kitty and care about them.

LOVE! Really stunning photographs of the cats and I love, love, love that the author included cats with disabilities from CH, blindness, and wearing diapers. I loved reading the stories of each of the cats and the cute bonus photos of the kittens at the end! A good one for any cat lover.

Adorable rescue cats and their stories. Will melt your hear and have you fall in love. Encourages people to rescue pets. My 5 year old loved it and so did I.

As an avid lifelong cat lover and self-proclaimed crazy cat lady, I adored "Rescue Cats" by Traer Scott. This heartwarming read is a treasure for cat enthusiasts, featuring stunning full-color portraits and touching adoption stories. Scott's evocative photography and compelling narratives invite readers into the lives of courageous rescue cats, capturing their unique personalities and the profound impact of adoption. "Rescue Cats" is more than a book—it's a celebration of the bond between humans and their feline companions. A must-read for anyone who loves cats.

I love cats so I was very eager to dive into this! Some of the rescue cats stories are sadder than others but all are accompanied by adorable, and sometimes funny photos.

Pros: The cover of this book immediately caught my attention, and the photography throughout is fantastic. The personality of the cats shine through the photos. The stories in this book are heartwarming (while often beginning as heartbreaking). This would be a fantastic book to gift cat lovers, especially those who love a cat they rescued.

Cons: None except it reminds me of how many cats (and other animals) there are that need to be rescued.

Thank you to NetGalley and Chronicle Books | Princeton Architectural Press for the opportunity to read this book.

Rescue Cats by Traer Scott is filled with wonderful photos and stories that will tug at your heartstrings. Scott explains that she has long loved cats, but worried that they would not be easy photography subjects. Her results are fantastic, with no doubt much credit to the behavioral consultants who also contributed to the book.

This book is an ideal gift for any cat lover -- but you might want to consider including a box of tissues.

Most pet lovers (me included) have watched countless online videos of rescue stories, always with heartwarming endings of animals happily playing while looking much healthier than when they were rescued. And most of us are used to the lumps in the throat that result from watching brave animals and their caring humans live happily ever after. Since most of the videos I've seen involve dogs, it was so nice to see cats shining in this beautiful book. Not only shining, but standing out as the regal, elegant (and sometimes kooky) creatures that they are. The stories in this book are so compelling, but it is the pictures that got me. Top notch portraits of gorgeous animals are a delight to the eye and the heart.

Many thanks to Chronicle Books and NetGalley for sharing this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me review this book. The stories and cat photos are great. I’m glad they all found good homes.

A totally cute book. I loved reading about th variety of different rescue cats. Beautiful rescue cats.

I found this book to be a captivating read. As a lifelong dog enthusiast, I was pleasantly surprised by the intriguing world of cats portrayed within its pages. The author skillfully delves into the traumatic experiences faced by cats, yet beautifully illustrates their resilience and the profound bond between them and their human companions. It's a testament to the strength of both feline spirit and human kindness.
Also the pictures of the cats are pretty cute. I'm not crying you are crying !
Thanks NetGalley for this arc

Look, sometimes you just need to look at photos of rescue kitties and get a little teary-eyed. Don't judge me. The photos are lovely, and I'm glad those cats found their forever homes. I think books like this, along with similar videos posted by the Dodo and Geobeats, help bring rescue pets to people's attention and encourage them to adopt rather than shop. As a cute note, my own rescue kitty was snuggled up to me as I read this, purring.

I do have to mention that the writing was a little stiff, and I wish the author had sunk more into the storytelling. Perhaps with more quotes and more details of the cats' lives post-rescue. Nonetheless, I'm very glad I picked this up.

I am 1000% a cat person and have 3 myself. This book was so touching, I loved hearing about the different personalities and accomplishments of each cat. Each cat is unique in their own way and there’s a cat for every type of person. I was genuinely so happy reading how strong and loving these cats are despite disabilities and/or bad upbringings.

I was silly enough to read this while going through my cycle and god I bawled, learning about all these brave rescue cats and their stories, and also their humans. So many refused to give up on their furballs. I'm so glad the author decided to put this book together with their beautiful photography. Cats, they are magical creatures, and I truly think this book could open so many hearts to the love and beauty of owning and rescuing cats.

I am the proud owner of 11 cats I've rescued and 1 foster (I foster failed a ton).

A great coffee table book or gift for cat lovers! The photography is beautiful and the stories drive home just how important it is to adopt versus shop for your animal companions. Be careful - this book may inspire you to adopt several new furry friends!

Thank you Netgalley and Chronicle Books | Princeton Architectural Press for the advance copy for review.

The photos are gorgeous, and the stories are lovely. My 6 year old cat lover enjoyed this so much! It would be a great coffee table book.

As a cat owner and lover myself, I absolutely adore this book. Not only are the photos gorgeous, but the stories of these shelters cats touched my heart. As the author stated, cats are ofter overlooked and seen as replaceable. I am a vet tech and I have seen many owners give up on their cats because "they're just a cat". It breaks my heart every time but these rescue stories put a smile on my face. Cats are resilient and show so much love to their humans and the photos really captured their individual personalities so well. Such a sweet little read.

What an amazing book for cat lovers! Each story was heartbreaking, but followed with a happy ending. Forrest the Maine Coon was my favorite! Such a sweet kitty. The photos this book are beautiful. They captured each kitty and their personality so well! I truly loved everything about this book!
