About this listen

This week on Cattitude, Michelle Fern welcomes Brad Beyer, author of the touching new memoir SILOPI: A TRUE STORY OF LOVE AND RESILIENCE. Brad shares the remarkable journey of how, in the aftermath of the first Gulf War, he rescued a tiny black and white kitten he discovered curled up in his Army hat in a chow tent in Silopi, Turkey. In this heartfelt episode, Brad recounts his military service — from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the deserts of Turkey — and the deep, life-changing bond that formed between a young infantryman and an unlikely feline companion. With warmth, humor, and emotion, he tells the story of sneaking the kitten back through Berlin and all the way home to Philadelphia. More than a tale of survival, SILOPI is a moving tribute to love, family, and the unexpected ways animals can shape our lives.
