The Puma Years by Laura Coleman5/23/2023 ![]() ![]() There were animal whisperers, committed staff, wildly devoted volunteers, handsome heartbreakers, and a machete-wielding prom queen who carried Laura through. The humans, too, were cause for laughter and tears. They weren’t alone, not with over a hundred quirky animals to care for, each lost and hurt in their own way: a pair of suicidal, bra-stealing monkeys, a frustrated parrot desperate to fly, and a pig with a wicked sense of humor. And in Wayra, she made a friend for life. Wide-eyed, inexperienced, and comically terrified, Laura made the scrappy, make-do camp her home. Fate landed her at a wildlife sanctuary on the edge of the Amazon jungle where she was assigned to a beautiful and complex puma named Wayra. ![]() Laura was in her early twenties and directionless when she quit her job to backpack in Bolivia. In this rapturous memoir, writer and activist Laura Coleman shares the story of her liberating journey in the Amazon jungle, where she fell in love with a magnificent cat who changed her life. Also, the intriguing title which really didn’t give much away apart from being able to hazard a guess that a puma might feature quite strongly in the story of Laura’s life! ![]() I was immediately enticed by this book by the gorgeously bright and unusual cover. ![]()
