What can be better for an avid reader than a visit to a bookstore? The variety of yet unexplored fictional worlds to choose from, the smell of the freshly printed paper, the comforting touch of the glossy book covers\u2026<\/p>\n

Now, it turns out that there is something even more exciting than that after all. And it\u2019s a Canadian bookstore that has kittens roaming freely around it<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Most introverts will agree that such a place would look like a paradise on Earth! Books and cats are both among introverts\u2019 greatest passions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Otis & Clementine\u2019s Books and Coffee<\/em><\/a> is an unusual store in Nova Scotia, Canada, which sells books but also offers kittens for adoption<\/strong>! You can see countless adorable felines wandering around the store, taking a nap on the bookshelves, and being friendly interacting with the customers.<\/p>\n

The bookstore owner Ellen Helmke<\/strong> collaborated with the South Paw Conservation Nova Scotia rescue group and started the adoption program in 2019. Since then, over 30 cats have been adopted.<\/p>\n

Even though everyone who wishes to take a furry friend home needs to pay a fee and provide references, the adoption rate so far is one hundred percent, Helmke says.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the bookstore is incredibly popular also among the cat & book lovers<\/a> who are not interested in adopting a pet. They come here to buy a book, enjoy a cup of coffee, and play with lovely kittens.<\/p>\n

Some customers have no idea that this place is also a cat home and get genuinely surprised to see cute furry creatures roaming around the store.<\/p>\n

\"03-Otis<\/p>\n

It turns out that combining the bookstore with a cat shelter was indeed a brilliant idea<\/strong>. Helmke says that many customers who intend just to get a book and have a cup of their favorite beverage end up forming a special bond with one of the kittens and later proceed with the adoption.<\/p>\n

After all, who can resist a cute kitty?<\/p>\n
