An exciting new book called “CATS OF THE WORLD” from social media maven “Kitten Lady” Hannah Shaw and her cat photographer husband, Andrew Marttila just dropped this week (October 15)!
It’s a must-read for their millions of fans, a beautiful coffee table book for animal lovers and globetrotters, and a wealth of travel inspo for those interested in animal wellness around the globe.
Over a five-period, the pair visited 30 countries and even more individual communities, an eye-opening and rewarding journey they share with readers.
From India to Argentina and everywhere in between, readers follow Hannah and Andrew on a worldwide journey that took over five years as they work arm in arm with rescues, shelters, and advocates on every continent except Antarctica. It’s uplifting to read about the many big-hearted cat lovers around the world and fun to see how different cats are in far flung corners of the globe.
CATS OF THE WORLD boasts over 750 original photos (all taken by Marttila) of cats in Argentina, Thailand, France, Kenya, Nepal, and everywhere in between. Shaw and Marttila bring readers along for the ride as they share heartwarming and eye-opening stories from feline advocates and cat lovers in all walks of life, exploring topics like feline wellness (veterinary care, efforts to sterilize community cats, etc.); endearing cultural traditions and dangerous superstitions/legends; the pros and cons of cat-driven tourism; and more.
In her signature charming and informative writing style, Shaw describes finding cats slinking between aromatic bags of spices in the markets of Santiago and visiting cat rescues located everywhere from ancient Roman ruins to places of worship.
She opens up about the many ways the US can learn from shelter practices in places like Spain and England and sympathizes with the rigid laws preventing feline care for strays in places like Dubai.
