Description
In the midst of the Syrian Civil War, a young man in Aleppo chooses to stay behind when his neighbors flee—finding purpose not only in helping the wounded, but in answering the cries of abandoned cats. As he feeds and shelters the frightened animals, his small acts of care ripple outward, drawing more cats into his growing circle of safety. Blending courage and compassion, this true story explores how community can form in the unlikeliest places and how love can become a lifeline during upheaval. With vivid, accessible storytelling in Irene Latham’s acclaimed style, the book honors everyday heroism and the enduring bond between people and animals.
