International Cat Day was a BLAST! 🐱 It was so fun hanging out with all you fellow cat lovers. Thank you so much to everyone who donated - we have a TRUNK full of cat donations ready to drop off at the shelter because of you! 💞 Also, a HUGE thank you to the Shoals Spay and Neuter Coalition for spending time with us to promote their program and educate people about such a good cause! Definitely a day we will not forget. 🫶

🩷 LIMITED EDITION SHIRTS FOR BOOKSTORE ROMANCE DAY! 🩷

You all loved our goose shirts so much... so we decided to do a little twist on them for Bookstore Romance Day. 🤭💘 On Saturday, August 15th, the first TEN people to spend $75 or more will get one of these for FREE! They are also available to purchase that day, but keep in mind they are probably going to go FAST. 👀

We'll be celebrating by having special sales on romance (and dark romance 😇) books, a coffee drink special perfectly themed for the day, curated romance book selections, LOTS of romance blind date with a book bundles, and more! 🫶 We can't wait to see you!

We loved having Shoals Spay and Neuter Coalition join us for International Cat Day this past weekend! If you haven't heard of them just yet, be sure to check them out. They are doing a really good thing for our community and for our animals. 🥰 They are currently trying to get a facility open to get things going. Every donation makes a difference! You can donate on their website here: https://www.shoalsspayneuter.com/ 🩷

🐱 International Cat Day! 🐱

Yesterday, August 8, was International Cat Day, and we were invited to set up a table to help promote our program. We were there from 1:00 until about 4:00 p.m., and it was such a great afternoon!

We also had the opportunity to meet some wonderful people, enjoy some good coffee, and, most importantly, lay the groundwork for continued support of our program. ❤️🐾

A big thank you to Court Street Books for inviting us to be part of this wonderful event and for supporting the work we’re doing in our community.

We appreciate you! 🐱☕️❤️
