Suitable for readers of all ages, kid-friendly, uplifting "Tail Wags and Purrs" showcases Michelle Cahill's experiences volunteering at a local animal shelter for over 20 years. Always an animal lover, she began advocating for them a couple decades into her forty-year Disneyland career. She often took breaks to visit the Park's animals backstage, especially the horses. One of her happiest memories is watching with fascination as ranch hands carefully braided ribbons through a horse's mane before its appearance in a ceremony at Sleeping Beauty Castle. Having no pets of her own at that time, she began volunteering with a progressive municipal shelter near her home, a few miles south of Los Angeles, inland off the Pacific Coast. She soon realized how little she knew about animal welfare and was drawn to their plight and the critical role of humans in their lives. One thing became clear: When animals end up homeless, it is usually because of a human failure, not a pet failure. Over the years, she made notes about some of her dog and cat experiences and turned those notes into story drafts. Recently she stumbled upon those drafts stuffed in a drawer and compiled them into "Tail Wags and Purrs." Also included are seven first-person adoption stories written by friends and family. It is Michelle's hope that this entertaining, heartwarming, and educational book will encourage readers to adopt from, volunteer at, or donate to a shelter or rescue organization. At the very least, they will be better informed about how homeless animals are cared for communally and successfully rehomed. Every story is true. Interwoven they illustrate how homeless animals thrive when people with various abilities, resources, and methodologies work toward the same goal--the "it takes a village approach."

After working forty years in Entertainment at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, Michelle Cahill retired with the intention to enjoy a life of leisure and study watercolor painting. Fate intervened when she found over 500 pages of seventy-year-old letters to her grandmother from two uncles killed in action in World War II. She never knew these boys-all her life they were silent portraits on the wall. The charming young soldiers finally have a chance to speak through their letters compilation, "Dear Mom: A Family Finds Its Past in World War II Letters Home." After publishing "Dear Mom," Michelle stumbled upon drafts of stories she wrote while volunteering for over 20 years at an animal shelter. Together these stories crafted Michelle's second book, "Tail Wags and Purrs: Happy Pet Adoption Stories." This book showcases uplifting tales of homeless animals that found loving homes through shelters and rescue groups. Once again watercolor lessons took a backseat to writing, her true passion, but painting is still on her bucket list. Michelle shares her Southern California home with chatty Siamese cat Molly, feline cover girl on "Tail Wags," and returns often to Disneyland to shop, dine, enjoy the music, and people-watch.
