EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo, we see Calin, a European cat residing at the association Les Petits Vieux in Chievres, Belgium. This unique organization serves as a loving home for numerous elderly animals including dogs, cats, pigs, and goats. Captured on August 7th by Yves Herman of Reuters Images, the image showcases Calin's striking presence against an urban city backdrop. With no humans in sight, Calin stands alone outside the building that houses these aging creatures. His front view gaze directly into the camera reveals both curiosity and vulnerability. The weathered architecture surrounding him adds to the atmosphere of abandonment and neglect that many of these animals have experienced before finding solace within Les Petits Vieux. Despite their troubled pasts, this photograph captures a sense of hope as Calin fearlessly faces the lens. Through creative use of lighting and composition, Yves Herman masterfully highlights not only Calin's beauty but also his resilience amidst adversity. This powerful image reminds us of our responsibility towards our domesticated companions who often suffer from neglect or abandonment as they grow older. It serves as a poignant reminder to cherish and care for all living beings throughout their entire lives - just like Les Petits Vieux does for its residents.
