Gigia And Me! by Jasmine L. Quan

How the Love of a Cat Transformed a Life

“Cats know how to win our love without ever asking for it.”

This touching truth lies at the heart of GIGIA AND ME! An Extraordinary Journey, the inspiring memoir by Jasmine L. Quan. Much like A Street Cat Named Bob, this book tells a powerful story of redemption, resilience, and the transformative power of the human-animal bond.

Jasmine L. Quan had it all — an exciting career in the world of fashion and luxury, only to trade it for a cause far greater: rewilding the South China tiger. Her groundbreaking work, featured in global media such as BBC, The Los Angeles Times, and Science, put her at the forefront of wildlife conservation. But life took an unexpected turn. When she lost everything — her career, home, and sense of purpose — she hit rock bottom.

Then came Gigia, a small tabby cat with emerald-green eyes and an even bigger spirit. What started as a simple companionship soon became an extraordinary partnership, teaching Jasmine to see life through new eyes. Their adventures across Italy’s stunning landscapes — from the sun-kissed shores of Calabria to the historic streets of Venice — became a journey of healing, rediscovery, and love.

“Gigia didn’t just walk into my life — she saved it. With her quiet charm, she reminded me of the power of trust, laughter, and finding beauty in the smallest moments.” – Jasmine L. Quan

More than just a memoir, GIGIA AND ME! Is a celebration of resilience, unexpected friendships, and the incredible lessons animals can teach us. With humour, heart, and profound insights, the book also includes an easy-to-follow appendix on training cats, making it a must-read for animal lovers and pet trainers alike.

Excerpt from the Book
The cosmic threads, or perhaps a touch of serendipity, wove a
tale that ensured the very first feline I stumbled upon online bore
an uncanny resemblance to the cat of my dreams: a tabby, known
as the European Cat or Soriano in Italian. Her entrancing stares
locked onto mine through the screen, casting an almost hypnotic
spell. In the sole online snapshot, she perched atop a shelf, striking
a pose that would be her signature style.

Ever since the inexplicable vanishing of Sisi, that untamed
marvel of a cat in South Africa, I had yearned for a kindred creature
like her. In this new feline–also female–I glimpsed a rekindling of
my wild Sisi’s soul.
