Crushing on Cat Books During Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month

Cats make excellent companions for people, no matter the age of human or feline.

I’ve been excited to find new contemporary romance books highlighting rescue animals. One author I recently discovered is Kris Bock. Kris is a prolific writer, crafting not only sweet, contemporary, small-town romance, but also romantic suspense and books for children (she writes kids books under a pen name).

Her sweet romance involves cat rescue and adoption and also includes coffee. Her most recent work in that series is Romance and Rescues at the Cat Café. Two baristas become involved in a rescue of more than 20 cats from a hoarding situation. Due to a snowstorm, they must stay the night in the abandoned house – abandoned except for all the kitties roaming around. In what becomes a dislike-to-like and respect-to-love story, Holly and Dustin work together on behalf of the cats, keeping them fed, watered, and warm until they can take the kitties into rescue. It’s a sweet story not only regarding how attitudes toward each other change, but how the pair help and gain the trust of cats left in the creepy house for goodness knows how long and how the two love on and care for the many disabled felines in the group. Bock shows the mission of rescue through her words, including the feelings and actions of Holly and Dustin, as well as showcases the growth in her characters in understanding of and respect for each other.

Kris Bock’s series about the Cat Cafe provides delightful reads for those who enjoy sweet romance and pet rescue stories.

I highly recommend this book if you enjoy stories about pet rescue (especially cats) and sweet love stories.

Kris has also written other books in this series, including Coffee and Crushes at the Cat Café and Kisses and Kittens at the Cat Café; I plan to read both! June is Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month, and therefore, a good time to read these books.

More than 3 million cats and kittens enter animal shelters in the U.S. every year and nearly 860,000 are euthanized. We can all make a positive difference by helping shelters and rescues in some way.

Did you know more than three million cats come into animal shelters every year? Two simple things can positively impact that sad statistic: 1.) Spaying/neutering of more cats and 2.) Adoption of more cats. Female cats can breed three times a year, and an average litter is four to six kittens. If none of her offspring are spayed/neutered, between all of them, they can produce more than 400,000 animals. The importance of spaying and neutering cats (and dogs!) cannot be emphasized enough. Even though the number of animal adoptions has increased over the years, (1.6 million cats and about the same number of dogs), still about 860,000 cats are euthanized. More spaying and neutering and more adoptions would bring both numbers down even farther.

Take the time this month not only to read fun romantic cat books like Kris Bock’s works but to help make a positive impact on shelter cats. That can be done by donating money or supplies, by encouraging adoptions (or being an adopter or foster), and by educating people on the importance of spaying and neutering.
