Britt Collins is an English journalist who writes for the Guardian, the Sunday Times, the Independent, Harper's Bazaar, Condé Nast Traveller, and Billionaire.com. She has volunteered at animal sanctuaries around the world, from tending big cats and baboons in Namibia to wild horses in Nevada--a labor of love that has inspired features for the Guardian and the Sunday Times. While writing Sunday People, she has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for many international charities through her investigative animal-cruelty stories; as an activist, she has helped shut down controversial breeders of laboratory animals. She lives with her cats in London.
"Strays will certainly appeal to fans of Bob the street cat, but
offers a fascinating and complex twist on an old plot. You'll
laugh, you'll cry and most likely be an emotional wreck at the
bittersweet ending. But it'll be well worth it!"--Amos Lassen,
founder of Literary Pride "Purrington Post"
"A touching, in-depth look at the lives of a remarkable stray cat
and a remarkable down-and-out man who brought each other joy and
unexpected adventure. This lovely, luminous story will warm your
heart, make you laugh and want to share your life with a rescue
cat." --Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, author of The Nine Emotional
Lives of Cats "Ocala Style magazine"
"At times heart-wrenching, Strays held me captive, eager, and
anxious for little Tabor to find her way back home. And at the end,
I was reminded of the ultimate price of loving an animal--the
moment of loss, the moment when you have to say the pain was worth
the gift of loving another of the world's creatures."--Barbara
Bennett, author of Soul of a Lion "Ocala Style magazine"
"Britt Collins's accessible and empathetic new book, Strays,
portrays the close bond between Michael and Tabor as they traveled
through America, facing the challenges of living on the road, both
from nature and from circumstance. The story continues to linger in
my mind and reminds me that the care of an animal really can
motivate and make change possible."--Claire Bessant, CEO of
International Cat Care "Ocala Style magazine"
"No doubt Strays will be seen as a cat book, but make no mistake,
this is a book about humans, and how animals, especially cats, can
reach a paw into our hearts and pull out the best of us. Part love
story, part adventure epic, part travelogue, part social
commentary, Strays will give you insight into the kindnesses of
strangers, the healing capacity of our furry friends, and the
resilience of both man and cat in the face of blizzards, long
nights on sidewalks, wild beasts, and dark memories. On top of
that, Strays is a galloping read that you won't put
down."--Caroline Paul, author of Lost Cat, A True Story of Love,
Desperation, and GPS Technology "Ocala Style magazine"
