CATS IN THE STACKS
Hi, Cats in the Stacks readers. It’s me, Alex. I am writing this all by myself today because I have a favor to ask. Would you guys please all take just a minute to click on the link below and vote for me in the Bissell Most Valuable Pet Contest?
Last year our Head Library Cat Big Footsie had his picture entered, and he won fourth place in the week 7 contest, beating out thousands of other pets! That meant he made it to the finals and had a chance to win up to $5,000 for Feline Rescue and Rehome, as well as the honor of being the Most Valuable Pet and being pictured on Bissell product packaging. He didn’t make the top 5, but we were still so proud! (more…)

Susan Loesch has been the librarian at the Arkansas School for the Blind for 35 years and is on the board of Feline Rescue and Rehome. She started the library cat program about 10 years ago after much animal therapy research.
