This man adores cats but hasn't got a chance to bring home a kitty due to his current living conditions, but his admiration for the feline never diminished.
He started a mission to take a picture with every cat he meets as a memento to express his love for these beautiful creatures.

Nick Canning, a long time animal lover, has always wanted to have a cat of his own. Though he lives with an Australian Cattle dog, he knows something is missing in his life - a cat or cats.
In order to fill that void, he decided to share his love for the feline on Instagram one day on a whim by uploading a photo he took with his friend's cat. Since then, he has captured every moment he shares with his feline friends and won't let them go without some cuddles.
"None of the cats are mine. Our apartment is pretty tiny so we're waiting until we move into a bigger place to get one," Nick told Love Meow.
"Most of the cats in the pictures are my friends', and a few in there are strays or farm cats."

"I put one picture up, and my friends liked it because I look a bit awkward holding cats, so I just kept it going. If it can help cats get adopted, that'd be even better," Nick told Love Meow.
This one particular kitty struck a pose with Nick for a purrfect shot.
