Jaguarstar's Hope is a fanfiction written by TheFauxFox. It centres around AmazonClan and Jaguarstar's backstory.

Prologue
Small, faint mews of distress sounded from inside steel, barred cages. Small paws shuffled around, often getting caught in between the mesh wire. The entire room was filthy, filled with these cruel, tight cages, stuffed with kittens- most of which were so sick they were on the verge of death. These small cages often collided with each other from the kittens moving around, overcrowded on the inside, causing a frequent clanging noise that sounded over the mews. Light flicked into the room and a Twoleg stepped inside wearing a grey pelt, followed by another, wearing the exact same pelt. They were carrying two cages each, doors swinging right open and hitting the mesh of cages as the Twolegs trampled through. They both opened the doors of four cages, and forcefully shoved kittens from each into each cage- about seven kittens crammed inside each crowded prison- before the Twolegs slammed the cage doors and trodded out of the room, carrying cages of mewing kittens inside. A small bengal mewed from inside, his nose sticking between the mesh, thinking this might be the first dose of freedom he'd get. The Twolegs both muttered things to each other as they walked down the long corridor, still clutching cages, until they came to a large panel. Light shone through it in patterns- the bengal closed his eyes- it was so bright, like nothing he'd ever seen before. It was so strange, yet so warm and welcoming. The Twolegs slammed the panel open, and the cages bobbed up and down, until the Twolegs dropped them into the back room of something strange- small, yet floating on rippling water. Shiny and made of steel, with clear panels lined on the sides of it. The room door suddenly slammed shut, and the floating thing- whatever the cats were travelling on- started moving at full speed, causing cages to fall back and clang into the steel walls. It seemed this had just started- and no cat knew when it would end.
