Ruas dos Gatos

🌱 Planted on

Background

This project combines some of my favorite things in life: exploring different neighborhoods, photography, urban landscapes, and cats1. It started as a pandemic escapism at the end of 2022, helping me connect to my neighborhood after a long period of isolation. My spouse and I would soon learn that we lived near several cat colonies, and that most of its members were (and still are) incredibly photogenic. The project evolved to us helping (and documenting) our neighbors feed them, rescue them or TNR them — and it gave us our two own rescue cats, Morceguinho and Panterinha.

Examples

_Cleo, a Sphynx cat, rests in the middle of the pathway in a local park. _Two cats napping next to each other in the shadow of a potted plant. _A beautiful calico cat hides behind a gate and some plants. _An orange cat observes me through the gate.
