Cats Find You.Hope, Happiness and a Cat Called Sticky
by Chuck Hawley and Nadya SiapinPublished December 8, 2022
My review 4 out of 5 stars
I read this book to complete a prompt in the Boise Public Library Ultimate Book Nerd challenge: Read a book by a Pacific Northwest Author
Sticky the Kitty won the hearts of people around the world… But what is the deeper story behind this beloved cat?
When Chuck Hawley left his house on October 19, 2019, he could have never imagined a kitten was about to change his entire life. But change his life, it did.
Chuck believes that kindness keeps the world turning. Through the unconditional love of his grandmother and family, he learned the lessons that he now lives. In this powerfully personal memoir, he shares:
- The highs and lows of teenage stardom
- The struggles of single parenting
- Finding peace with himself
- How our actions create a ripple effect on the world around us
This story is about hope, kindness, believing you have a purpose, magic and even angels… but most importantly, it’s about you. If this random guy and this thrown away kitten can do all of this, what might you be able to do?
You might have heard the story, back on October 18, 2019, Chuck was on his way to work on a regular day when he found a kitten GLUED TO THE ROAD. After he took that kitten home and saved it, he became the hero the world needed.

Chuck's story isn't just the tale of finding Sticky that foggy October morning, but the before and the after. His coming into fame and how he dealt with it. How the Sticky Foundation came to be and how he is using his influence to spread joy.
This is really just an inspiring story of how one man used a good deed to spread good around the globe in a time when it was so desperately needed. Filled with many short stories of people who also touched his life (while he also was touching theirs). Plus, a cute kitty named sticky. What's not to love?
I found this story especially fun because I lived about 45 minutes from where Sticky was rescued. It was literally in my backyard and exploded into a global story.
