An appreciation of shop cats and small businesses tonight on Orchard Street



Via the EVG inbox...

To honor the positive impact of local businesses on Animal Welfare, “Shop Cats of New York” author Tamar Arslanian has teamed up with vegan boutique MooShoes, 78 Orchard St. between Broome and Grand, to host a happy hour with vegan drinks and snacks tonight from 6:30-8:30. In the spirit of the evening 10 percent of all sales during the event, along with $10 from the sale of each book will benefit the local charity Positive Tails Inc.

“Shop Cats of New York,” published by HarperCollins, highlights over 30 New York City small businesses that, in addition to helping the local economy, have opened their doors to create loving homes for cats that might not otherwise have one. Sisters and Queen natives Erica and Sara Kubersk founded MooShoes, one the shops featured in the book, where they have a long history providing permanent homes to felines while also fostering animals in need. Current resident felines Marlow and Georgie will be guests of honor during the celebration.

    My local deli (actually a bodega) has a cat named Corvette. She's cute mouser.

    Sorry I missed this; the cat on the cover of the book is Marlowe, MooShoes' premier cat.
