Professional cat rescuer and photographer on the inspiration behind their global project

I think when you put a real face, whether it be a cat or a human, in front of the audience, you can connect so much more readily with that person or that animal. It really does make a difference to them. It really empowers them. And they don't feel alone because in some of these small villages, they might be the only one doing this work.

There's all these differences in the ways that we care for animals, but then there's this kind of singular thread that goes through everywhere we go, which is no matter where you are in the world, there is somebody there helping cats. There's somebody showing compassion to cats. And that's how the project was born.

It is profound, the response that we've gotten. When I show the photos in real time of the people, maybe they've never seen, you know, what. What they look like doing their work. It's been remarkable, not just to capture the cats, but, you know, also the people who are doing all this great work.
