"When bookstore owner Wendy Welch got sucked into the world of cat rescue, she found friends and felines in unusual places. The rescue coalesced within a rural Appalachian county dealing with very little money and a whole lot of substance misuse. A plucky band of volunteers founded a non-profit by thinking outside the box-while scooping inside the boxes. Appalachian Feline Friends associates soon found themselves learning to spell and treat coccidia, handling members of the public with great expectations, bottle feeding orphan infants, and figuring out how to get 300 cats per year spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and adopted. The antics and adventures of well-meaning, untrained do-gooders are by turns hilarious, heartbreaking, and heartwarming. Cat lover or people watcher, these stories showcase human natures finest moments."-- Provided by publisher.
