For fans of A Street Cat Named Bob and Dewey: The Small-Town
Library Cat Who Touched the World, Strays is a compelling true
story of a man who rescues a stray, injured cat and how they save
each other. Homeless, alcoholic, and depressed, Michael King lives
in a UPS loading bay on the wrong side of Portland, Oregon. One
rainy night, he stumbles upon a hurt, starving, scruffy cat and
takes her in. Nursing her back to health, he names her Tabor. When
winter comes, they travel from Oregon to the beaches of California
to the high plains of Montana, surviving blizzards and bears, angry
steers and rainstorms. Along the way, people are drawn to the
spirited, beautiful cat and moved to help Michael. Tabor comforts
Michael when he's down, giving him someone to love and care for,
inspiring him to get sober and come to terms with his past family
traumas and grief over the death of his partner. But when Michael
takes Tabor to a vet in Montana, he discovers that she has an
identification chip and an owner who has never given up hope of
finding her. Michael makes the difficult choice to return to
Portland to reunite Tabor with her owner and learn to create a new
purpose in his life after Tabor. Strays is the true story of a
charismatic, adventurous cat and the healing power of the bonds
between humans and animals.
