Sunday, May 31st from 12:00 – 8:00 pm

Come celebrate with two indifferent felines; two cats, two birthdays! Ash will be a year old May 8th, and Ripley will be seven years old June 10th, so we’re splitting the difference with an end-of-May sale! Buy two used paperbacks and get a third of equal or lesser value free, and all non-book items in the store (excluding staff and cats, sorry) are 10% off! The cats will of course be on hand to greet admirers and be spoiled (unless they decide to hide in the stock room,) and there will be cake and cat treats (but not together). Additionally, you can participate in the party game of helping to keep the cats out of the cake’s whipped-cream frosting.

Ripley says “I already have everything I need, so instead of bringing me gifts, please donate some money or volunteer time to the San Francisco SPCA or to Wildcare. You’d better come and adore me, though, or buy one of my postcards to send a nice note home to Mother.”

Ash says “Am I that old already? Where’s the whipped cream? Did the cake come in a box I can climb in? Oh, look, dust!” (Ahem. We won’t be quoting Ash anymore.)
