Eve the Cat

"A catless writer is almost inconceivable. It's a perverse taste, really, since it would be easier to write with a herd of buffalo in the room than even one cat; they make nests in the notes and bite the end of the pen and walk on the typewriter keys."
--Barbara Holland

Eve the cat was abandoned at a shelter as a five-month-old kitten. Now that she's a member of the Thompson family, she wanted to do something to help other animals who are waiting for their forever homes.

So, she and Vicki decided to do a fundraiser. For every photo that was entered in Eve's photo contest, and every vote cast for Best in Show, Vicki donated $1 to animal rescue. The photos and votes came rolling in, with over $800 raised for homeless animals. Half the proceeds went to support the Humane Society of Southern Arizona, which gave Eve her second chance at life, and the other half went to Best Friends Animal Society, the largest no-kill sanctuary in the United States.

Henry's World

Henry’s world is a story not just about a cat but about all of us - about trust, community, courage, and resiliency. It is about prejudice and overcoming it, coming to love what we thought we hated, enemies becoming friends and challenges becoming learning experiences. Henry’s stories seek to tell you, through the eyes of an innocent creature, what our world looks like to an outsider. He is able to see the absurdity in things we take for granted. Henry’s World is about how we survive our wounds, about transforming tragedy into possibility. Foremost, it is about life as a new adventure.
