Library to Host Kitty Café

Tompkins County Public Library and Browncoat Cat Rescue will partner Thursday, July 13 from 2 to 4 p.m. for the Build a Better World Kitty Café, an opportunity for animal lovers of all ages to meet snuggly, adoptable cats and kittens.

Being held in the Library’s Thaler/Howell Programming Room, the Kitty Café is a celebration of the Library’s 2017 Build a Better World Summer Reading Program and will showcase how the volunteers at Browncoat Cat Rescue work to make the local community a better place by helping animals in need.

Browncoat Cat Rescue is a volunteer run organization that focuses on unwanted and abandoned cats in Ithaca and its surrounding areas.  Volunteers create awareness within the community and educate people on the importance of spaying and neutering.  By working with committed foster parents, local veterinarians, and members of the community, Browncoat works to empower feral cat colony keepers and find loving adoptive homes for rescued cats.
