THINGS TO DO
Not only can you be on the hunt for something great to read, but there is also so much more to do here. Take a walk through our gardens, pet a friendly cat or see some of our other animals on the property.

CATS | GARDENS | OTHER ANIMALS
GARDENS
In the spring and summer months, The Book Barn's main grounds are full of lush and peaceful gardens. Perfect for an easy stroll of just to sit and read a good book.
OTHER ANIMALS
The Book Barn is not only home to their famous cats, but you can also find goats and occasionally turtles and fish.
​
PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS AT THIS TIME.
Fili
Fili is a nice boy who loves carrots and will gladly snack while you scratch his back. He will try to butt heads with all the dog friends who come to visit.
Teddy
Teddy is a sweet boy who loves to be scratched everywhere! He thinks clothes are yummy so mind your sleeves. He’s also leash trained!
CAT SPOTTING GUIDE
Most of our cats love to be pet.
PLEASE DO NOT PICK THEM UP OR CARRY THEM.
Evinrude
Our resident senior is a notorious lovebug. He is named after the boat motor because of his loud purr.

Speck
Known for his playful and goofy personality, Speck loves to be petted but will sometimes give a little love bite.

Pipkin
He may be cute but don’t be fooled, he’s a mighty hunter who would prefer not to be bothered by us pesky humans (except at dinner time). Pipkin will scratch so please be respectful of him.
