Cats in the Library

Samiryha & Star

Meet these adorable sisters, Star and Samiryha!  These two little ladies are playful and curious and can’t wait to explore their fun new home.  They both are very passionate about food and do great with lick mats and puzzle dishes to help slow them down.  They both seem to prefer being the only cats in the home.  They may do well with respectful children.  These girls are looking for a home with a cat tree and perches, and they like to run around and chase interactive toys.  They are both really affectionate and will beg for attention!

Their adoption fee is $175 for both as they are only 1 year old.  

Stop by the 2nd-floor reference desk to visit with the cats. Please note visitations may be limited until the cats are comfortable in their new surroundings.

APL’s Cats in the Library partnership with the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society started at the beginning of the pandemic as a way for staff to cope and to help with the socialization of cats in need.  As the library reopened its doors to the public, APL also opened up visiting hours for the cats and our customers.  Since June 2020 APL has hosted over 54 adoptable cats, almost all of which went directly to their new homes from the library.  Even our staff have adopted a few of these kitties! Some are adopted within a day or two and others have resided with us for a few months.
