At the Rescue Cat Café

Description:

Spend the week at the Rescue Cat Café

A whole clowder of cats resides at the Rescue Cat Café. Each cat is distinct in look and personality, and each is in need of a forever home. Handsome Henry sleeps in a sunbeam, mysterious Ming winds around ankles, and ChiChi and Bunnykin are bold and adventurous. But you won't see Mouse--he hides away, watching all the activity with round green eyes.

Each day of the week, a visitor comes to the café and adopts a cat that's just right--a perfect human-cat pairing. And by the time Sunday rolls around, even shy Mouse finds his forever home.

This is a heartfelt picture book about the connection humans can find with animals, and a celebration of how animals can be just as diverse in their personalities as people. It emphasizes the importance of adopting animals in need of a home and offers gentle validation for readers (and cats!) about coming out of your shell at your own pace when you're nervous or shy.
