"I was taking too long to read this (hashtag toddler mom life) and my library wouldn’t let me check it out again because so many people are waiting for it so I’m back at the end of the waiting list til can check it out again one day and finish it. Lol" — Jul 01, 2026 08:03PM

Amanda Gene’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Tiny But Mighty: Kitten Lady's Guide to Saving the Most Vulnerable Felines

Tiny But Mighty: Kitten Lady's Guide to Saving the Most Vulnerable Felines by Hannah Shaw

1 note & 1 highlight

Kitten rescue has taught me that true compassion is spontaneous and unconditional, and that even though I’m just one tiny person, if I bear witness to suffering, I have the power to do something about it.

Amanda Gene’s Quotes

“If there is an animal to hold and soothe or just smooth the fur, do that. Turn your head to the side and give yourself a little kiss on the shoulder. Wash your face and hands. Put on an outfit of all one color. Only do a little gossip and make sure it doesn’t make any dents in anyone.”
― Jenny Slate, Little Weirds

“Information about art and nature feels like the best stuff to have, and if you have it, it is powerful and excellent to pass it on. That is an act of power, showing what you know, giving it to another person, realizing that as you spread it, you get to keep it but watch it grow, and by watching others have it, you learn new things about the original thing.”
