Cats in the Library

Meet Arrow, an adorable cat full of love. This sweet 9-year-old cat is looking for an indoor-only home. Arrow is respectful with kids, making them a wonderful addition to a family, but Arrow prefers to be the only pet in the house. She isn't fond of other cats and is scared of dogs, so she thrives in a peaceful home where she can be the star.

Arrow has a big appetite for fun and treats! She loves Churru treats and wet food, and when she is not snacking, she enjoys lounging on window perches and climbing her favorite cat tree. Arrow is a playful hunter at heart, so interactive toys that let her chase and pounce are perfect for keeping her entertained. 

Want to see Arrow? Stop by the Auburn Public Library's Reference Desk on the 2nd floor and ask to visit.

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.
