Meet June: The friendly guy who never learned to “speak cat”
Sep 03, 2019 by Tamara Spell
June is super friendly and tries his best to make friends with his fellow felines, even though he doesn't always seem to understand their cat signals. And, he's the inspiration for Gus, the Wondercat who loves mythology and sunshine spots — and of course, breakfast!
Meet Cowboy: Little cat, big attitude… and the best friend a person could ask for
Aug 07, 2019 by Tamara Spell
Cowboy is, in fact, a female. As the only senior cat in the group, she's grumpy and doesn't like to share her space. But she's got a heart of gold and is totally loyal to her person.

The Animals of Langkawi
Jul 08, 2016 by Tamara Spell
Langkawi, Malaysia is a beautiful place to visit, with tropical beaches, green mountains, and one of the longest cable car rides in the world. But the real highlight for me was the wildlife. Here's a tip for when you travel there: Skip the more expensive rooms over the water, and instead opt for a rainforest chalet, where you can watch monkeys, flying lemurs, and other animals from your balcony.
The Elephants of Pinnawala
Jul 01, 2016 by Tamara Spell
In Pinnawala, Sri Lanka, there is a rescue facility for injured and orphaned elephants. You can visit the orphanage, but you can also hang out by the river to see them when they walk here for their daily bath.
