Searching for Utopia

We all know cats don’t use human language-but that doesn’t mean they can’t communicate verbally with each other.

Pulling back the curtain on the feline world, Searching for Utopia follows two domestic cats, Tiger and Sam, as they escape from their abusive owner and begin new lives in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest. While their sense of freedom is short-lived after realizing that the wilderness holds its own set of dangers, Tiger and Sam are determined to survive and find brighter futures. Soon the two cats are part of a feral feline community…with Tiger unexpectedly in charge of leading the group to a safe haven many miles away. But first they must overcome a towering bear, wild dogs, and two human hunters-not to mention the impending natural disaster of a nearby active volcano. This imaginative survival adventure full of bravery, endurance, and friendship will remind you that hope and determination are powerful forces. And that perhaps we only think cats have nine lives because they live so courageously in their first one.
