Inaba didn’t know it at the time, but the long-haired black and white kitty she named Shadow would influence the course of her life. “I think that he was absolutely my soul mate. I’ve never had a connection even with another human being as much as I’ve had with this cat. Some people might say that’s crazy, but any- body who’s had it knows exactly what I’m talking about.” Over the years, as her career began to take off, Inaba sensed her calling was to help animals, but she wasn’t sure what her role would be.
