Recounts the author's experiences fostering a feisty, unpredictable cat named Bono who had become homeless during Hurricane Sandy. - Baker & Taylor
The author describes a month-long stay in Manhattan for work that led to a life-changing experience as a foster mother to Bono, a homeless, "special needs" cat that required daily medication and who had wound up at the shelter after Hurricane Sandy. Original. - Random House, Inc.
From New York Times bestselling author Helen Brown comes a funny and moving account of her life-changing month as a foster motherâto a homeless cat named Bono.
Â
When Helen Brown arrived in New York for a much-anticipated visit, a fellow animal lover talked her into fostering a shelter cat. Helen visualized a sweet-natured cuddler who blinked and dozed a lot. What she got at Manhattanâs Bideawee shelter was a wide-eyed and unpredictable Persian with a punked-out haircut and a feisty attitude.
Â
Bono had become homeless during Hurricane Sandy, had survived a serious infection, and needed daily medications. As a âspecial needsâ cat, he was an unlikely candidate for adoption. But as affection between them grew, Helen resolved to see that Bono found his forever home. She didnât know that he would change her life in ways she never dreamed possible and teach her lessons she would cherish ever after. Just as this sweet, beleaguered, and hopeful guy deserved a fresh start, Helen too was ready for new beginnings. And so began a heartwarming, uplifting, lasting kind of love . . .
