In Please Take Me Home, Clare Campbell takes us on a journey with the nation's rescue cats, from being treated as pests throughout history to being the pet of choice today.

For a long time, stray cats in Britain were seen as a nuisance and hunted down as vermin. Having invited this wild, independent creature into our homes, humans did not extend their welcome for long. Over time, thousands of cats were subsequently abandoned and left to live on the margins of survival.

There were, however, the kind few who sought to help. But these good spirited people were often scorned, even derided as 'mad'. A Princess of Wales was even told to stop helping lost cats in order to avoid a royal scandal; the story was kept a secret of state for years. It would take over a century for strays to become the beloved rescue cats of today, with some now gaining celebrity status, such as Downing Street's Larry or Street Cat Bob.

Please Take Me Home is a fascinating and insightful history through the ages of the struggle for cats to exist in domesticity alongside mankind.

It's a book used for reading. Haven't had a chance to read the book yet. Looking forward to reading the book. I do like true stories about animals.

Unwanted cats beware!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book is a well-researched history of the life (or otherwise) that unwanted cats could expect from 1850 to the present day. It's written in a very easy to read style and sometimes I wasn't sure what to make of it; I think the authors were doing their best to be impartial on what is clearly an emotive subject. Nevertheless I found myself reading right to the end with great interest, and I even did some follow-up reading. I had no idea of the scale of the unwanted pet and feral cat problem, or of some of the reasons for it, or the remedies found by well-meaning people. During the two world wars, you did not want to be a cat.
This is in many ways a social commentary, and from our 21st century viewpoint human society doesn't show itself in a good light. Read this book and learn.

A look at the history of Cat Welfare.

Reviewed in Australia on May 11, 2021

This is a well researched book about Cat Rescue and the setting up of Charities for cats since the 1800's. If you are interested in how things were done on the past then this book is for you. It doesn't gloss over the past but looks at how improvements have been made over time.
