@@Yesica1993 ~ So go to those soulless big chain bookstores where you can buy your vapid bestsellers and self-help book for the self-obsessed, then drive home to your gated community and water your plastic lawn. Bookstore cats are an old tradition in independent bookstores where the staff are knowledgeable, the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly and the customers aren't a bunch of Karens screaming "What's this CAT doing in here?!! I DEMAND TO SEE THE MANAGER!!" like you

There are 3 used bookstores in my city, all lovely places that I would love to haunt. But all 3 have resident cats, and I am terribly, horribly allergic to cats. People who are not allergic just don't get it; it's not just the cat but their fur and especially dander that are the triggers, which gets everywhere they reside. Within 5 minutes of stepping in any place, home or business, that has a cat, I slip into asthmatic breathing and the effects last for hours, no matter the medication. Empathy for those 10-20% of Americans allergic to cats would be appreciated.

Every community should have a bookstore/cat adoption center.❤

@@happyhattergamer8078 You’d be surprised how many cat people have allergies. Some people take medicine or get shots if it’s really bad. Doing lots of laundry and using air purifiers help too.

Saving cats and getting people to enjoy reading at the same time, what a wonderful combination 😊

there is nothing better than sitting on a couch reading with a cat on your lap.

This place is in Enola, PA and is one of the best bookstores in the Harrisburg region. Go for the books, stay for the cats! Mouse is a sweetheart, and will follow you everywhere if he doesn't get distracted by something else first! Annika is a floofy, beautiful diva!

Enola is alone, backwards. I wonder who named the town.

Cats AND books?! Otherwise known as Paradise.

The amazing thing I found that in this era of digital madness, a book store is not only surviving but also fostering kittens. Bravo.

Mouse wandering around bookstore like: "Excellent, this pleases me." 😂

A cat named 'Mouse' That is so cute

I wish my local bookstore had this going on! I’d never leave! Bless

I think Mouse thrives on the vast variety of his daily life. That has to be mentally stimulating for Mouse and could result in a longer life for Mouse, which would make a lot of people happy in the bookstore.

Officially the fluffiest bookseller!

So trueee!

Mouse should have his picture posted as Employee of the Month. Most people I know join book clubs for the wine (and sometimes the books). Mouse gives them a third and even FLUFFIER reason to gather each week!

It makes sense that he enjoys living in a bookstore even with all of those people around. It's common courtesy to stay quiet since people are reading, so there's little in the way of sensory noise to stress him out. Plus, people are fixated on reading, so he can be the one to approach them rather than the other way around.

Mouse is the best cat and does his own thing. It's nice that the customers give him water

He is handsome and well educated, and loving.. what more could you want

I would patronize that store immediately.

Every bookstore should have a resident cat.

Over 200 cats adopted??? You guys are awesome!!!

Cat in a bookstore is the best type of bookstore ❤️🥰

Mouse is my kind of cat!! He is living his best life at Cupboard Maker Bookstore!! He is The Master Of His Domain!! He LOVES his job!! What A Cutie Pie!!❤😊❤!

Mouse is the best boi! I had a tiny foster Pomeranian. The lady who adopted her takes her to reading night at the library, along with a few other dogs, and they sit in the laps of children’s with reading issues. The children read to the dogs and actually seem to relax and they read much better.

The best salesman, just make mouse permanent employee of the month

A free cat with your book sounds like one hell of a deal!

TY for allowing Mouse to take on such a vital role in the bookstore and for helping so many other kitties find homes...maybe you can keep someone he loves to be his companion ❤

Mouse is da best boi. Obviously! 😻

What a fantastic bookstore! And yes, they choose us. We have had rescue cats over the last 27 years, house has never been empty and they give so much. They can tell exactly the beat of the house. Well done Mouse and to all of those who have passed through, now playing in the warm sunshine at Rainbow Bridge ❤️.

If I went to that bookstore to shop, or was in the book club, I'd have a really hard time paying attention, cos I'd be hanging out with Mouse! That bookstore is run by some wonderful people! ❤❤

heaven on earth

Cute name for a cat

Twice Sold Tales in the Capitol Hill District of Seattle in the 1990s. Multiple cats in the bookstore. Little walkways on top of the shelves for them. God, I miss those days.

Bookstore cats are a special breed. They really are.

The best book store in the world

Delightful story. Blessings all.

The local bookstore in town has a black cat named Ink. He's on all the merchandise and social media, and you'll see him just chilling on a chair somewhere. He's diabetic and the owners have to control how much he eats. One time I was in the stacks and on the other side I hear the owner telling Ink he can't eat till dinnertime and he was arguing with her 😂

My two favorite things in the world, cats and books, under one roof! I hope there is a nice cafe where real hot cocoa (not packaged) is available and soft comfy, well-lit reading chairs. Any cat, any cat or kitten at all, would be welcome to sit on my lap while I read and sipped at such a bookstore!🙂

every city needs a place like this! ❤

Mouse is a great worker! There’s an orange cat called Sweet Tangerine who similarly works in a Kaohsiung, Taiwan metro station who has a lot of fans; they also call him the Station Master! 😸

Every bookstore needs a Mouse!

Books + meows = bliss 💕

every bookstore should have a cat ❤

I’ve been to Cupboard Maker book store. So fun seeing the cats walking around the store😊

A book store with cats. Cats in a book store. That's it, I comings I just need to boom a flight across the pond.

I have never been to this bookstore, but I love it and pledge allegiance to it.

What a great way to get cats adopted out..Mouse is beautiful

I would be visiting the bookstore every day just to see Mouse if I lived closer.

I had a bookshop in Ohio wherein shelter cats were fostered and then adopted by customers. More than 50 were adopted from my shop over the years. I then wrote a series of novels about the experience ("Shelve Under C" is the first) to encourage other shops to look into fostering dogs, cats, rabbits, etc. The business that took over my location continued to foster, thankfully.

I want that cat. I can afford the hugs, provide the cuddles and supply the snuggles. May I please have him? Thank you. MEOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in Toronto, Ontario Canada.

The most perfect idea, ever!!! Cats and books, does it get any better?

Another great *name for a cat. Love soulful shops with animal mascots/residents . Much happiness and coziness to you, Mouse, amidst all those clever pages and patrons.

2 of my favourite things - cats and books. the perfect combination.

That is one bookstore that would have 100 percent of my business!😊❤

I shall travel the world to meet the kitty librarian.

A cat called mouse in a bookstore surely he has many TAILS to tell ! 🐾

thank you for helping Mouse and all the other kitties

This is such a heart-warming story and Mouse makes an excellent bookstore cat. I'm not sure how it could be possible, given his parentage but Mouse exhibits both the appearance and characteristics of being a Norwegian Forest Cat (almond-shaped eyes, furnished ears, fluffy coat, lion-mane ruff, floofy tail, fluffy pantaloons and chilled, friendly nature with all humans and other cats) I am lucky enough to have a Norwegian Forest cat myself (a female called Roxie) and believe me, Mouse looks just like one. They remain kitten like and kitten-sized until they reach five years old before attaining their adult size so, if Mouse suddenly gets much bigger once he turns five, then I will be even more convinced that he's a Wegie!

All bookstores should have cats as employees.

I visited a bookstore in Vancouver,BC that had a resident book-keeping cat, too. That was nearly 26 years ago.

Store with great selection of books = just an average bookstore Add a cat = The Single Greatest Bookstore In Existance! :D

Wow! What an amazing bookstore!! What a wonderful thing the owner is doing for cats! And Mouse - keep up the good work! 🙌🏽 ❤

Now I know what kind of book store I want to visit. Why can't every book store have their amazing animals?

The only way to run a bookstore it's so great what you do your a guardian angel for watching over these beautiful babies

Wow!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Cute❤❤❤❤

Books and cats in the same place? It's an idea whose time has come!

This would be my ONLY bookstore!!! ❤

Uncle Squeaky- I don’t know why, but that name just makes me smile 😊

What a stellar arrangement! Blessings to you for opening up your hearts and store to so many precious kitties! 💕

Beautiful ❤️🥰

What a perfect shop in so many ways and mouse is adorable!

Mouse to other cats:My name is Mouse.Cats:What?No,what's your real name?Mouse:It's Mouse.Cats:Your owner must be mixed up,you're a cat.Mouse:I know,but he gave me a great place to rule over,so I can live with Mouse.

So love and respect you so much! What a blessing you are!!❤❤❤❤
