The cats in the photos are all from animal shelters and rescue groups in the U.S. and Canada. Every cat who modeled for the book was available for adoption or already rescued during the photoshoots.

"At the heart of the book is Casteel’s commitment to showcasing animals who are in need of human love, attention, and care yet who sadly have not always received it," reads the the book's press release.

It also explains more of Casteel's process behind POUNCE.

An essential gift for cat lovers, this beautiful, funny book, with more than 80 previously unpublished photographs, reveals adorable cats and kittens as they pounce and jump through the air, legs outstretched—all in Casteel’s signature up-close, mid-action style. His latest collection of animal portraits features cats doing what they do best. In fact, as he reminds us, pouncing is cats’ undisputed number one instinct, making them among the most incredible creatures on earth.
