About this listen

Set against a freezing January morning, The Catnapping follows a gripping true-to-life adventure of courage, hope, and the unbreakable bond between two devoted feline siblings.

When Sammy leaves his sister Jazzy safely tucked inside their beloved Catillac to fetch fresh mouse livers from the flea market, a sudden break-in changes everything. A burglar smashes the window, steals the car, and speeds away with Jazzy trapped inside. Alone, terrified, and carried deep into the shadows of a dangerous chop shop, Jazzy must summon every ounce of bravery just to survive.

Back at the market, Sammy refuses to stand by. With the help of Officer Fuzz, a determined cab driver named Big Cat, and a growing circle of caring people, he launches an urgent search across the city. As hours turn into days, the story unfolds through parallel perspectives: Jazzy navigating fear, noise, and uncertainty inside the warehouse, and Sammy fighting against time, weather, and despair to bring her home.

Inspired by real events, The Catnapping blends suspense, heart, and gentle humor while celebrating community spirit, resilience, and the powerful love that lives between animals and the families who protect them. This audiobook invites listeners of all ages to experience a high-stakes rescue story that proves that even in the coldest moments, hope can prevail.
