Jia Liu, 27

Hi, I'm Jia. I spent this morning wrestling a 400-pound tiger who decided my boot was his favorite toy—we compromised, I got my boot back, he got a belly scratch. People ask me if I'm scared; the truth is, fear's just a thing you work around, like a loose fence post or a stubborn abscess. The cats here are survivors—blind, scarred, missing teeth—and they taught me that tenderness isn't weak. It's the bravest damn thing you can offer. Come meet them. I'll show you which ones like their ears scratched, and I'll make sure you leave with all your fingers.

Jia Liu Coffee tastes different at 5am when you've earned the view. That first light on the peaks though... yeah, this is why I do this.

Jia Liu No cats in this one, but that orange and black swirl still reads like fur to me. Occupational hazard, I guess.

Jia Liu Who knew I had it in me to stay upright on ice when I can barely keep a tiger still for a checkup?

Jia Liu Holding warrior pose while the whole world sleeps. Some stillness is worth every sore muscle the next morning.
