Our purpose at The Literary Cat Co. is to bring book lovers and adoptable cats together in a peaceful, cage-free haven where cats can live their best lives while waiting for forever homes, and guests can curl up with a good book and a new friend. We offer a thoughtfully curated selection of popular and classic titles along with unique bookish and feline-themed gifts and beautiful, hand-crafted cat furniture. All of our non-book goods are created by other small businesses and independent brands who embody corporate social responsibility. Visit our website for more details!

Stop in for your next read and save a life! Our partnership with local nonprofit, Pawprints on the Heartland, allows us to be one big foster home for fully-vetted, adoptable cats who would otherwise be crammed into crowded shelters, fighting for their lives on the streets, or waiting to be euthanized due to lack of space. In our cozy bookstore, these cats get a second chance while receiving tons of love and socialization. Visitors can apply on site to adopt the cats that steal their hearts!

But it takes a LOT to create a peaceful, relaxing bookstore that also houses rescued kitties! Every shirt purchased through this campaign provides a few more dollars to pour back into this dream of ours, and ultimately save cats and the world with the combined power of literacy and kindness.

We truly believe it is our personal social responsibility to make the world more empathetic, curious, and compassionate ? starting with books and cats. We all deserve a new chapter!
