Cats in the Library

Meet Skye and Arrow, an adorable duo full of love and energy! This sweet and playful pair of kitties are looking for an indoor-only home where they can stay together as lifelong companions. They are great with respectful kids, making them a wonderful addition to a family, but they prefer to be the only pets in the house. Skye and Arrow aren't fond of other cats and are scared of dogs, so they thrive in a peaceful home where they can be the stars.

Both kitties have big appetites for fun and treats! They love Churru treats and wet food, and when they're not snacking, they enjoy lounging on window perches and climbing their favorite cat trees. Skye and Arrow are playful hunters at heart, so interactive toys that let them chase and pounce are perfect for keeping them entertained. If you're looking for a pair of affectionate, fun-loving companions, Skye and Arrow are ready to bring double the joy into your home!

The Auburn Public Library's Cats in the Library program, launched during the pandemic in partnership with the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society, was designed to boost staff morale during a difficult time. The initiative brought in adoptable cats from the shelter, allowing library staff and customers to interact with them, and fostering a calm and joyful environment. The program not only provided emotional support but also had a broader impact: since its inception, over 55 cats have found new homes through adoptions. This unique collaboration continues to be a heartwarming success, benefiting both the library community and the animals in need.
