I will ask at the libraries that are my second home if they would consider adopting a homeless cat as their patron.

Put the phrase "library cat" into your favorite search engine (I used Bing, not my favorite but it happened to be available) and up comes two perfect URLs: * http://www.moggies.co.uk/services/library_cats.html and * http://www.ironfrog.com/catsmap.html More than anyone should know about this subject I think.

The gift shop at St. Michael's up on the north side gets inspected regularly by the facility's resident cat, Sassy. I learned Sassy's origins this week, thanks to one of my daughters. A few years ago, a sick stray cat decided to follow a lady as she went to work at St. Mike's. When the two arrived, the lady and some other of the staff noticed the cat, and the cat's condition. A trip to the vet helped bring the cat back to health, but the creature still didn't have a home. Folks at St. Mike's decided to adopt her, naming her Sassy. My daughter thinks that Sassy's background explains why "she likes to be patted and played with so much - and doesn't know what to do with a ball and a string."

From nearest to farthest from Toronto: Beatley Library, Simmons College (Boston, MA, 428 miles), UIUC (Urbana, IL, 519 miles) and the Minnesota Historical Society Library (St. Paul, MN, 684 miles). The newsletter was published in Sauk Centre, MN. The URL for the Great River Regional Library in Sauk Centre is http://www.griver.org/.

Probably the cats, too, bless them, but maybe one or more of those libraries continued to keep one or more animal friends about. I'll see if I can find out more about this newsletter for you, Stephen. ITTR a “Library Cat Newsletter” which I’m sure ceased many years ago.

In the library where I am going he will be a part of the life at the library.
