Meet Chico – A Gentle Mama with a Heart Full of Love
Chico is a shy but sweet kitty mama who's ready to enjoy a calmer chapter of life in a quiet, indoor-only home. She's soft-spoken, gentle, and happiest when she has time and space to feel safe-once she does, her loving nature quietly shines.
Chico seems to do well with respectful teens who understand patience and boundaries, and one thing is non-negotiable for her happiness: other friendly cats are a MUST HAVE. Feline companions help her feel secure and confident as she settles in. She's unsure about dogs, so a peaceful, dog-free (or very slow intro) home would be best.
Chico's Perfect Setup:
Plenty of cozy hiding and napping spots
Cat trees & scratching posts for gentle stretching and play
Window perches for relaxing sun naps and bird-watching
Tons of toys, especially interactive and catnip-filled ones
Favorite Things:
Treats, wet food, catnip, and calm companionship
If you have a quiet home, friendly resident cats, and a soft spot for a sweet mama who deserves all the comfort, Chico is ready to curl up and make herself part of your family.

The Auburn Public Library's Cats in the Library program, launched during the pandemic in partnership with the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society, was designed to boost staff morale during a difficult time. The initiative brought in adoptable cats from the shelter, allowing library staff and customers to interact with them and fostering a calm and joyful environment. The program not only provided emotional support but also had a broader impact: since its inception, 72 cats have found new homes through adoptions. This unique collaboration continues to be a heartwarming success, benefiting both the library community and the animals in need.
