A Street Cat Named Bob. Short Synopsis

Based on the International Best Selling Book, A STREET CAT NAMED BOB is a moving and uplifting feel-good true story.

When James Bowen found an injured, ginger street cat curled up in the hallway of his
sheltered accommodation, he had no idea just how much his life was about to change.
James was living hand to mouth on the streets of London and the last thing he needed
was a pet. Yet James couldn't resist helping the strikingly intelligent tom cat, whom
he quickly christened Bob. He slowly nursed Bob back to health and then sent the cat
on his way, imagining he would never see him again. But Bob had other ideas.

Soon the two were inseparable and their diverse, comic and occasionally dangerous
adventures would transform both their lives, slowly healing the scars of each other's
troubled pasts.
