Synopsis

Susan Delaney’s The Scratching Post is a funny, poignant, and eye-opening work of fiction. Sally has dedicated much of her life to strengthening a charity whose aim is to care for and protect sick, abandoned and maltreated cats. She faces more obstacles than one might think. Not only from the ignorance of the human beings around her about the needs and proper care of cats, but also from malicious enemies who wish to take over the charity for their own ends, as well as dishonest or unstable employees. What makes the book such a charming story is its being told, in large part, from the perspective of the cats themselves. Creatures who, in this sympathetic and imaginative portrayal, each take on their own distinctive characteristics, habits, and mannerisms. Readers may well fall in love with Comfort, Banjo, Pickles, and the other cats described in the pages of The Scratching Post.

Authors Biography

Susan Delaney has worked with rescue cats since she was ten years old. Breaking away from a large well known organisation, she became the founder of the charity ‘The Scratching Post’, which she founded in 2004. The amount of time Susan spent with the rescue cats inspired this book to be written.

Reviews

What a wonderful book. It did indeed make me laugh and cry as promised on the cover. I started reading it last Saturday and had to finish it the same day. The fact that it is a true story made it even more special. I believe the cat sanctuary is in Waltham Abbey, but it was lovely to read about the chickens being rescued by Susan from near to where I live in Norfolk – I always wondered what happened to them! I now follow the centre on Facebook and I am in awe of their dedication and devotion to the cats. If you are an animal lover, you will enjoy this book.

  31. A really heartwarming story about the ups and downs of running a rescue centre by a genuine and dedicated cat lover. I really enjoyed it. Would make a great movie

  39. Lovely to read this well written and factual book. Nostalgic. for me as I too once belonged to the well known cat charity the book refers to. I also left sadly and suddenly but went on to rescue at my home for 15 years and more…… I understand the hurt and heartbreak that rescue brings but also the feelings of relief and pleasure . I follow Scratching Post on Twitter,and try to give when I can. Well done, Susan and the very best of wishes to you and your helpers in everything you do to help these beautiful animals.

  43. I loved this book and cried at the end when one of the old cats died. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

  44. This book helped inspire me to volunteer. Written from the Cats point of view, it takes you on a roller coaster of emotions. It also give you a deep insight into human nature, highlighting how heroic and how evil people can be. Susan and her Mum are Super heroes and I am privileged to have been able to become a small part of this centre and its amazing team of staff and volunteers.

    This book is truly worthy of the prize and Susan and The Scratching Post Rescue and Re-homing Centre are deserving of the recognition for all they do.
