The author of the perennial bestseller "The Cat Who Came for Christmas" now tells the inspiring stories of the creatures he's sheltered at his Black Beauty Ranch, America's most unusual animal sanctuary, located in East Texas. of color photos. (Animals/Pets)
After reading Black Beauty as a child, Cleveland Amory dreamed that someday he would have a ranch where animals would not be abused but would, like that famous horse, end their days roaming proud and free. Many people know Amory for his tireless work on behalf of animals as the founder of the Fund for Animals and for his bestselling classic The Cat Who Came for Christmas. But few know that Amory did in fact realize his childhood ambition by establishing the Black Beauty Ranch in East Texas. Now he shares the remarkable stories of the countless animals that have been saved from death's door at this unique sanctuary: wild burros from the Grand Canyon, goats from San Clemente Island, and even Nim, the "talking" chimpanzee, who was released from a laboratory. Everything from elephants and buffalo to prairie dogs and, yes, cats have found haven at the ranch, where they can live out the rest of their lives knowing, as the last line of Black Beauty puts it, "My troubles are all over, and I am at home".
