Nothing Left to Give
/A homeless man, a lost cat, and a relationship that healed the scars of a broken past
Michael King was homeless, depressed, and drinking. Tabor was a lost, injured and hungry. One rainy night in Portland, Oregon, the two found each other.
Even though Michael had nothing to offer -- no money, no shelter -- he rescued the little cat. And she adopted him.
On this episode, we talk with writer Britt Collins, who wrote a book chronicling their story.
It's a story of love and tenderness, and of the surprising things that can happen when those who have nothing left to give, decide to give anyway.
“She gave him someone to love and care for. ... Michael craves that; he’s a nurturer.”

Britt Collins' book is called Strays. It's available in hardcover on Amazon, at Barnes & Noble, and in other bookstores now, and it comes out in paperback in June.
Britt is also launching a cat festival in London this summer. Yes, a cat festival.
