At the Rescue Cat Cafe — Anna Humphrey

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.
