Tucson Woman's Viral Journey with Feral Cats

Courtney Gustafson moved into her rental home in the Poets Square neighborhood of Tucson and unexpectedly became the guardian of around 30 feral cats. She started documenting the cats on social media, gaining a large following. Through her online presence, she connected with local resources and received support to care for the cats. The cats not only brought her joy but also helped her financially when she lost her job. She pursued her dream of writing and published a book about her experiences with the cats. Gustafson continues to advocate for Trap, Neuter, Release efforts and inspire others to get involved in their communities.

Courtney Gustafson's next book event will be at Stacks Book Club on July 18. The neighborhood of Poets Square in Tucson was named after famous poets and authors by its original developers in the 1920s.
