Battersea Dogs & Cats Home was founded in 1860 by a courageous lady called Mary Tealby in Holloway and now has three sites. The Home has cared for over three million lost or abandoned dogs and cats and each year takes in over 12,000 of them, many lost which are reunited with their owners within just a few days. Its staff are volunteers. It is wonderful to read the many stories of the Home's wonderful ex-residents and to see how they have changed and touched the lives of their new owners. No longer timid, nervous or withdrawn, Phoebe is possibly the most affectionate, friendly cat you will ever meet and will gladly let you fuss her all day. She places her head under the lips of anyone willing to give her a kiss and will leave it there indefinitely. She is incredibly pretty and sleek with a beautiful coat and watches her owner Hilary apply her make up every morning. Another tortoiseshell tabby, Millie joined the Hinckley family a year after Phoebe. She is a complete tomboy and a house-wrecker with bags of character and charm and is always forgiven. Freddie, Lola, Fish, Sophie, Thames found by the river, Colin found living at the bottom of a garden in Kensington, and William who is nicknamed Shakespeare because he is so intelligent and dignified. A charming collection of true stories, adventures, fame, misfortune, courage, compassion, love and friendship. 96pp, beautiful colour artworks.
