Once upon a time, a 9-year-old ginger cat lived a cranky existence in an animal shelter. His unfriendly attitude made most people overlook him; but not Danielle Joy Whatley. Whatley, the owner of the Second Edition Bookstore in Davie, Florida, knows the value of giving things another chance–including kitties!
That’s when she met the crabby Catsby. “He was picked up by a local rescue group called Cat Crusaders. Catsby was older and incredibly unfriendly towards other animals. He needed a place and I had a book store,” she said in a story by Love Meow. And the book shop patrons are just as happy to receive the kitty’s company.
Some senior visitors, who can no longer have cats, consider Catsby to be their part-time pet. Others bring snacks and toys for the customer service cat.
