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
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.
Yes, I was there the whole time and he kneaded Berto for 10 minutes!!! Just amazing. Pure love.
Load More Replies...They are knidred spirits, it's a joy to see them together.
Load More Replies...They are sooooo sweet, aren't they?
Load More Replies...It was so emotional to see them.
Load More Replies...Berto e Spartaco sono due esseri speciali. Berto and Spartacus are special beings.
Load More Replies...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.
There's such a deep bond between them, I'm happy it shows so much.
Load More Replies...She was a stray cat and she got sick, but she was lucky because Roberto and her wife adopted her.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...And The World Around Them Just Disappears
I also love to that with my cat, it's a very intimate moment, bonding.
Load More Replies...They didn't even notice I was there with them ... They were so into each other ...
Load More Replies...Men are even more involved than women and these photos prove it :-)
Load More Replies...Playing With Daddy
Tiny Luna was rescued by Pietro and his wife and when the time comes to play Pietro is always there for her.
Thank you, they both are, cute and sweet ^_^
Load More Replies...Thank you, they both are for sure.
Load More Replies...Luna is as sweet as ever and her dad too!
Load More Replies...Yes, kitties are amazed by everything.
Load More Replies...Well, it gives the general idea of the photos :-)
Load More Replies...Yes, she was very lucky to meet them after being abandoned. We love happy endings!
Load More Replies...Today's Special: Back Scratches!
At the restaurant near the local shelter colony cats are free to come and go as they please. Al volunteers at the sanctuary but he's willing to stay a little longer when his services as back scratcher are required! The smile on his face says it all... He just loves all those cats!
Yes, Crazy Cat Gentlemen are the best!
Load More Replies...The C spot! ^_^ C-at spot ;-)
Load More Replies...There was a special connection there, you can see it.
Load More Replies...Al always spends time with them, he cares so much for them because they live at the sanctuary where he volunteers.
Load More Replies...It's so nice to witness pure happiness for a change.
Load More Replies...Mine All Mine
Francesco just loves Pippo. Whenever he comes back home from work first thing that he does is take him in his arms and cuddle him.
Pippo won't let Francesco have dinner unless they cuddle first ^_^
Load More Replies...He is! And he was just a tiny, dirty and sick kitty when Francesco rescued him in the middle of the street a few years ago. They were both so lucky to meet.
Load More Replies...Special Bond
Men love their cats so much and they always cuddle them, more than women ^_^
Load More Replies...Berto And Spartacus
Berto's hands are big and strong but thay are so soft and loving when he's holding Spartacus and he starts kneading. Pure love.
You can follow me on Instagram and you'll find more photos and storie too :-)
Load More Replies...He made biscuits and cakes and bread .... he went on for 10 minutes kneading ^_^
Load More Replies...If I was Berto, I would have taken Spartacus home with me. It's clear that kitty cat love's him so much.
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 :-)
Load More Replies...Chin Scratches Are The Best, Dad... Purrr Purrrr
That's exactly the point of these photos, I'm so happy we agree.
Load More Replies...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.
Berto is strong, Didone was feeling safe in his arms.
Load More Replies...Yes and don't you think that Berto and Didone even look alike?
Load More Replies...They love each other, that's why. Thank you!
Load More Replies...Just You And Me Buddy
Absolutely, you said it so nicely.
Load More Replies...Thank you for your kind words, these were all emotional shootings.
Load More Replies...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.
He sure is. I met so many devoted and loving volunteers in shelters and sanctuaries, I wanted to honor them with these photos.
Load More Replies...Actually Massimo is the only person who can touch him. Principe is a colony cat, he lives outdoors near the local shelter, he doesn't let anyone go ner him except Massimo ^_^
Load More Replies...Daddy's Girls
Pietro loves listening to rock music, he has his own music room and when he doesn't know what old record to play Zora and Daisy help him make the best choice! They were both rescued when they were tiny kitties and since day 1 at home they became daddy's girls!
Two nice names for two cute girls.
Load More Replies...yes! Let's have a cat party!
Load More Replies...I'm Going To Work, I'll See You Tonight Little Girl
Yes, she was rescued so she'll also be grateful forever.
Load More Replies...Thank you very much, they are both so sweet.
Load More Replies...Enough Photos, It's Cuddles Time
Caterina And Alberto
Big eyes for a cat with a big personality ^_^
Load More Replies...Awesome Duo
They even look alike, don't you think?
Load More Replies...Best Buddies
Cats always want to be comfortable ^_^
Load More Replies...Thank you very much, these are all special men and cats.
Load More Replies...I love the black & white photography. It focuses in to the men and cats. Thank you Sabrina.
Thank you Grace for your kind words.
Load More Replies...These pictures show some pretty cool dudes. I don't there's anything more attractive than a man who loves cats!
The true strength of a man is shown in gentleness. Wonderful series!
Thatnk you, that's exactly the idea of this shooting and you can see that it's true both for young and older men.
Load More Replies...Charlie is my husband's cat. We have two others, but Charlie's favourite person on the planet is his human dad. When my husband is home, Charlie is with him - either in the same room or on his lap. If The Boy is working, The Cat is beside him.
Thank you for sharing your story, there are so many to tell. I wish I could take their portrait.
Load More Replies...Thank you Alexandra for your kind words, I'm so glad my photos reached you.
Load More Replies...Io sono di parte perchè adoro i gatti, ma tu sei una bravissima fotografa! (I'm not impartial, but you're a great photographer!)
Grazie! Un complimento così sentito è sempre gradito!
