Meet the Author

Dusty Rainbolt is Product Reviewer for Catnip, former Product Editor for Whole Cat Journal, and an award-winning writer. She became involved in kitten rescue in 1986 when she cared for an abandoned pregnant cat. She found homes for mom and the kittens but kept her two favorites: Chani and Wretched. She had no idea that one act of kindness would later bless her with a career writing about cats. She and her husband, Weems, have been raising orphans ever since. In a small way they also helped elevate the Turkish Van breed to championship status in the Cat Fanciers' Association.

    A 'Must Have' book for kitten raisers

    Dusty has covered all the aspects of rescuing and raising kittens in an easy to read and often humorous book. Last spring I volunteered to help a local kitten rescue group out in a pinch with a couple of kittens and eventually ended up caring for 13 cute little guys and girls (from 5 different litters) over about 6-7 months. I received Dusty's book as a thank you gift from the cat rescue group leader for Christmas... boy did I wish I had known about it earlier... It covered lots of issues I had to learn about the hard way. I am even looking forward to this year's kitten season now that I am armed with new knowledge courtesy of Kittens for Dummies! Even if you think you know about all about the care of cats and kittens, you will find the information in this book current and valuable. Dusty provides useful and easily understandable information on medications, emergency care, behavior problems, and much, much more. It is an excellent volume to have in your home reference library because you never know when a lost or orphaned feline will arrive on your doorstep!
