Told by Mr. Jazz himself, an ordinary cat by his own admission, Purr Prints of the Heart is a touching meow-memoir that will strike a chord with anyone whose heart carries purr-prints of love as he shares the story of his life from kitten hood to his final days on earth in the physical sense. Cleverly written in cat likeness with incredible insight, candor, charm, wisdom, and humor, Mr. Jazz takes the reader on a journey that is like a warm hug in book form to offer comfort to all who have had to deal with (or will have to deal with), the inevitable loss of a beloved pet and includes an invaluable “Coping With Pet Loss” section to help readers on all levels - emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and even physically to empower themselves with ways to positively honor the journey of the pet lost as well as ways to find the strength to heal and mend a broken heart.

Pawsitively Humane Inc (PHI) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that was founded by Christine Michaels of Riverfront Cats, Miami to get to the root of the very serious problem of cat and dog overpopulation on the streets and in shelters in South Florida and across the country. Using education as the primary tool, PHI will work towards educating the masses through its website, PSA's and Internet campaigns, editorial pieces in major newspapers, leaflets in mailers, and numerous venues and tactics. As the average person becomes aware of the gravity of the situation, learns what they can do from a phone call to talking to neighbors to fostering rescued pets, we as a county can come together and reverse this trend. We know there is a solution. It will take time, persistence, patience and open heart and mind.http://www.pawsitivelyhumane.org/
