A cat that has been a dedicated worker and family to a library for six years is being taken away from the place he calls home.
Browser has been living at the Friends of the White Settlement Public Library for about six years. He’s done great to contribute to fixing the library’s rodent issue and is loved by everyone there. But, things took a different turn, when unexpectedly he was asked to move out of the place he calls home.
This friendly cat has been a permanent resident at the library and people from all ages love him and his personality.
“I don’t have any pets. But this cat is so lovable and so gentle and he brings so much comfort to so many people, it seems like a shame to take him away,” Lillian Blackburn, president of the library, told Star Telegram.
It all happened after a city employee complained to the city council that they weren’t allowed to bring their dog to work, but also pointed out the fact that Browser was given permission to stay at the library.
Despite “an outflow of support for the cat”, the White Settlement City Council voted to evict the cat.
Ironically, it was the city council that voted to give permission the library to have a cat to help them with pest control.
Mayor Ron White, a nonvoting council moderator, also wants Browser to stay.
“That cat doesn’t have anything to do with whether somebody can have their dog at City Hall. That feline doesn’t hurt anyone,” he said to Star-Telegram.
Browser is an amazing cat and always so helpful around the library.
Not only does he keep away the rodents, he helps his humans with their work too.
Browser, the wonderful cat, protecting the library from rodents.
What a hero!
He helps adults and kids pick good reads and brings a great smile to everyone that walks in.
Mayor White hopes they could revise its decision at the next council meeting on July 12, two days before Browser has to move out.
“Browser is still at the library for now,” White Settlement Public Library told Love Meow.
