Is a Saturday afternoon cuddled up with a cat in your lap and a good book your idea of a great time? If so, you're in luck!
Join us on Saturday, November 2nd, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM as we gather for an afternoon of literary discussion, cat cuddles, and community. Conversation will be led by cat and book lover alike, Sydney Cimarolli, who not only works at our adoption lounge but teaches local creative writing classes!
We'll be discussing "We'll Prescribe You a Cat" by Syou Ishida.
"We'll Prescribe You a Cat" by Syou Ishida is a heartwarming and whimsical tale about a young woman named Koto who is struggling with the pressures of adulthood and mental health. After a chance encounter with a mysterious veterinarian, she finds herself receiving an unexpected prescription: a cat. As she navigates her feelings of loneliness and anxiety, the presence of her new feline companion brings joy, comfort, and a fresh perspective on life. Through their bond, Koto learns to embrace her vulnerabilities, discover her passions, and redefine what it means to truly heal. The story beautifully blends elements of magic and realism, offering a poignant exploration of companionship and self-discovery.
To reserve your spot at our Book Club, simply make a $25 donation, which will directly support our mission and make a tangible difference in the lives of cats in need, allowing us to provide them with the veterinary care, love, and shelter they deserve.
We look forward to welcoming you to our adoption lounge for an afternoon of literary delight and cat camaraderie. Together, let's celebrate the magic of storytelling and the special bond we share with our beloved cats.
