The Kitty Who Sits Pretty: A Rescue Story

By Angela Cimmino

On a lively New York City block, between the barbershop, the bakery, and the corner cafe, a clever little tuxedo cat has learned exactly how to survive. Even if she needs a bit of kindness, she uses her secret weapon: she stands up on her hind legs and sits pretty

From morning cookies at the bakery to sleeping on a cozy salon chair, this charming neighborhood cat wins over the whole block. She even sneaks into the local firehouse to share a plate of spaghetti and meatballs with the firefighters before curling up to sleep inside a coiled firehose But when a heavy rainstorm hits, her neighborhood friends realize that a storefront doorway is no replacement for a real family. Together, they team up with the ASPCA to start her on an unforgettable pet adoption journey.

Inspired by a true rescue, The Kitty Who Sits Pretty is a beautifully illustrated children's cat book that captures the magic of community and the joy of helping animals.
