Redefining Movement

Abdul never had any pets growing up, but when he met his wife – a cat foster parent – he was introduced to the world of cat rescue. Pretty soon, they started to wonder what they should do with the hundreds of photos she had taken of him playing with the adorable, little animals and that’s when the @abdulscats Instagram page was born. The best thing about it is that this story doesn’t end with cute pictures. Abdul is showcasing each cat to help get them fostered. You can see the cats in action in his photos and videos, and then finding out if you can help by giving one of them a home is as simple as sliding into Abdul’s DMs. If you want a big, daily hit of joy, go follow him now on Instagram or TikTok.To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: lytyoga.com/blog/category/podcasts/Resources:Instagram: @abdulscatsTikTok: @abdulscatsRedefining Yoga is a production of Crate Media Hosted on Acast.
