Reviews""A stunning collection of photographs that beautifully illustrates therefuge and the large felines that call it home."" -- Bloomington Herald-Times, April21, 2006, "A stunning collection of photographs that beautifully illustrates therefuge and the large felines that call it home." -- Bloomington Herald-Times, April21, 2006, "McCloud shows us how beautiful these animals are. What's truly extraordinary is that his close-in pictures express the individuality... of each animal he shoots. His animals speak -- of humor, pain, weariness, dignity. And these pictures ultimately reveal McCloud's obvious affection for the cats." -- TribStar.com, May 17, 2006, "A stunning collection of photographs that beautifully illustrates the refuge and the large felines that call it home." -- Bloomington Herald-Times, April 21, 2006, "McCloud's book is a captivating and inspiring piece of work. The photography is brilliant and the stories moving. Readers who dare to pick up the book will find it hard to put down -- and, even harder to forget." -- Vincennes Sun-Commercial, April 4, 2006

SynopsisOffering an inside look at one of the largest exotic feline rescue centers in the United States, this gorgeous photography book brings to life the beautiful, wild animals on its pages. Through astonishing images and compelling text, each cat's incredible story is presented., Nestled in the woods near Center Point, Indiana, The Exotic Feline Rescue Center houses more than 160 big cats--ranging from lions, tigers, leopards, and pumas, to bobcats and more obscure breeds like the caracal, serval, ocelot, and lynx. But all of the cats at EFRC have one thing in common: they are predators that have suffered abuse and escaped extermination because of EFRC's efforts. Through astonishing images and compelling text, Stephen D. McCloud tells each cat's story. Meet Sinbad, Molly, Sierra, Montana, Tika, and others. Included with the photos in this book are background stories, anecdotes, and inside information on the personalities of feline residents at EFRC. Stephen D. McCloud heard about the Center in a casual conversation with a friend, and decided to take his camera and visit. In the last three years, McCloud and his camera have spent hundreds of hours at the Center. He has taken the time to get to know each of the cats: their likes, their dislikes, their quirks, and their stories. The affection he has for them is clearly reflected in his photographs. It's an incredible collection, and choosing only 100 or so for the book proved a daunting task. A portion of the proceeds from each sale of this book will be donated to The Exotic Feline Rescue Center.
