Kate Axelrod is a New York-based author associated with Featherproof Books, as well as a homeless rights activist and wine expert. An ex-actor, she previously appeared in films such as Killing Zoe and Andre, though she has since retired from film. Axelrod founded the Cat Angel network in Stowe, Vermont and later applied that experience to the Paws 2 Paws network, dedicated to feline outreach in metropolitan areas. Axelrod is also revered for her groundbreaking research and advocacy on behalf of the American homeless, in conjunction with Colia Clark.
She is most recently the author of Get Us Off Our Plates, published by Riverhead in 2010, a foodie manifesto that calls for "an abandonment of prissified culinary morality" and a return to "conscientious decadence."
