Hello, my name is Sabrina Boem, I am a cat lover and a photographer. I'm working on several photo projects involving cats and in the past few months I've had the chance to meet some men who have a very special relationship with their cat. So I decided to dedicate a special project to them. It's called OF CATS AND MEN.

These cats are their family cats or cats that these men help in sanctuaries. Yes! We often hear about so-called crazy-cat-ladies but in sanctuaries there are a lot of men who volunteer there as well. So take a look at all these Crazy Cat Gentlemen with their cats!

Kindred Spirits

Kindred Spirits

Berto is a cat whisperer. He works near the local sanctuary and when he's on a break he goes there to cuddle whoever asks for it. Spartacus is one of the biggest cats at the sanctuary, he's a 16-pounds cat. But when he's in Berto's arms he starts kneading him and he becomes the sweetest kitty ever.

    Roberto And Lea

    Roberto And Lea

    Lea is a rescue cat and all she wants is being in her daddy's arms. She was rescued from the street and she was very sick, but when she's in his arms she feels safe again, she knows that nobody can hurt her.

    She udes to be a stray cat before being adopted and I've noticed that all stray cats are very dignified, they never complain about their unfortunate situation. Lea was lucky to meet Roberto.

    Actually Spartacus lives in the local shelter where he can come and go as he pleases. He likes being independent, he wouldn't adjust to living in apartment. Berto thought about that and talked to the volunteers. Maybe when Spartacus grows older Berto will do that :-)

    Didone And Berto

    For the past few months Bertos has gotten real close to Didone, a big cat as sweet as any cat could be. Didone loves Berto's attention and being in his arms so there could be no better portrait to introduce them to you. I think that in a way they even look alike.

    Principe And Massimo

    Principe And Massimo

    Massimo has been volunteering at the sanctuary for twelve years. He’s the one who introduced me to most of the cats who live there. He told me their names. He told me how long they’ve been there. He told me what's their favorite part of the park. I often went with him on his Sunday tours to refill with fresh food and water the shelters in the park for those cats who want to live into the wild and only sometimes go to the sanctuary. He shared with me his love for them. That’s how I learnt, day after day, to love them too. I’ll never be grateful enough to him.
