Street Cat Named Bob

Based on the true life story and international best-selling book, A STREET CAT NAMED BOB is a moving and uplifting film that will touch the heart of everyone. When London busker and recovering drug addict James Bowen (Luke Treadaway) finds injured ginger street cat Bob in his sheltered accommodation, he has no idea just how much his life is about to change. This is the moving true story of the unlikely friendship between a young homeless busker, James Bowen, and the stray ginger cat who changed his life. James found the injured cat as he was living hand to mouth on the streets of London. He couldn't resist helping the cat, whom he quickly named Bob, and slowly nursed him back to health. When Bob was sent on his way, James imagined he would never see him again. But Bob had other ideas. Soon the two were inseparable and their diverse and comic adventures would transform both their lives. Their tale was published as a book in 2012, when James teamed up with writer Garry Jenkins, and A Street Cat Named Bob became a UK bestseller.
