This charming, new, 50 page paperback book has been created to raise funds for the Cat House on the Kings. The illustrations, original paintings created by Magda Szabo, an award winning Canadian miniature artist, inspired Mary Jane Zissoff to write anecdotes about each painting. When Mary found out about the Cat House on the Kings, she thought that compiling all of Magda's paintings with her own text in a book could be a way of showing her support by donating $5.00 US from the sale of each book.

You can purchase this book for $ 12.00 US (shipping incl.)

"The Cat House of the Kings is California's largest no-cage, no-kill, lifetime cat sanctuary and adoption center. Our mission is to place rescued cats and kittens into loving, permanent homes. to provide a safe, happy and healthy home for unwanted cats and kittens in a unique, no-cage facility; to prevent pet overpopulation through spaying and neutering; and to educate the public about responsible pet ownership.
The Cat House is a 51(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, receives no government or public funding, and relies entirely on donations from the public to carry out its mission.
Since its founding 25 years ago, The Cat House on the Kings has saved over 30,000 cats and 8,000 dogs (not counting the 40,000 animals we have spayed and neutered!) and currently cares for more than 700 cats and kittens, and dozens of peacocks."
