About the Author
Best Friends Animal Society is a non-profit, tax-exempt charity that was started by Michael Mountain and a group of friends, who sought to create a no-kill haven for rescued animals. The pilot program expanded and Best Friends was established in the early 1980s. They have great success in rescuing and rehabilitating animals and finding homes for them. The sanctuary is located at Angel Canyon in Southern Utah, a 3,700 acre ranch at the heart of the famous Golden Circle of national parks, close to Zion National Park, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Lake Powell. A wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, horses, rabbits, goats, and farm animals are cared for at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. The organization reaches across the nation, helping groups, individual people, and entire communities to set up spay/neuter, shelter, foster, and adoption programs in their own neighborhoods, cities and states.

Customer Reviews

A Beautiful Book!
This is a beautiful, full color book, that tells you everything you have ever wanted to know about the beautiful Cats at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary.

You can always tell the true animal lovers from the "posers".

The true animal lovers are 100% No-Kill.

If it is not No-Kill, it's not a true "shelter". (www.nokillblog.com)


Best Friends operates the world's largest No-Kill Sanctuary for all kinds of animals.

When so called "animal welfare" groups like PETA, The HSUS, ASPCA, etc, all called for the Michael Vick dogs to be murdered, Best Friends was there to save them...and they have made fantastic progress and many are now ready or soon will be ready for loving families.

Best Friends does the same for Cats. Recently, Best Friends rescued 800 cats from an abusive, neglectful situation, and many of those cats are now in loving homes, with their very own families, free to live, love and be loved.
Now THAT is what I call an animal welfare group!

That's how you know who the true Best Friends to animals are!

The precious souls who come into the care of Best Friends Animal Society are in very good hands, indeed.

As you read this great book, you will see how the precious cats are loved, cared for, and have their lives nourished by the Best Friends Animal Society.

Kittyville is a place that I'd feel very safe in, if I was a cat. (Actually, I am part cat. No joke.)

You will be touched by this beautiful book, and you will see why the area where Best Friends is located, in Utah, is called "Angel Canyon".

You will fall in love with all of the precious four-legged souls (cats) who you meet in this book.

Who knows? Maybe you'll see a cat in this book who YOU want to adopt into your loving, caring family.

Or maybe you will be inspired to go to your local "shelter" and adopt a cat and save a precious living soul from certain death.

I find that mature and older cats have a harder time being adopted, because everyone wants the "cute and cuddly" kittens. Sure, kittens ARE cute and cuddly, but not any more so than a mature/adult, or older cat is.

ALL cats are cute and cuddly!

The kittens wont have a problem finding homes, in most cases, but the mature and older cats might, and thus, they need to be adopted even more so than kittens do.

If you love cats, or if you love any companion animals, this book is a must read.

I look forward to the day when cats and dogs arent murdered anymore....the day when the murderers decide to stop the killing and decide to go No-Kill. It can and has been done in some Cities.

It's just a matter of caring enough and working hard enough to make sure that it's done. That's why any true animal shelter should be run by a 100% No-Kill animal lover.

If your local shelter isnt No-Kill, you can join together as a community and demand change.

You have the power. Yes you.

Neat Story
I purchased this book for some cat lovers I know and they really enjoyed it, I also gave it a once over before I gave it to them and enjoyed as well. It is a nice inexpensive book with a neat story and nice pictures, great for coffee table reading. Another recommendation for dog lovers is the Dogville book with a similar rescue story.

The Cats of Kittyville
I had heard and read about the Best Friends Animal Society and the good work they do. I was surprised when I got the book that it was about their animal rescue place in Southern Utah. The book was great and worth the price I paid. It's wonderful to see how they rescue and save kitties.
Also how they take care of them after bringing them back to good health.
