Bookish Friend Speed Dating (2nd Round)
*THIS IS FOR THE 6:45-7:45 SPACE*
Join us at Cattiesburg Cafe for a cozy evening of books, conversation, and cats.
We’re partnering with Leaf and Letter, a charming mobile bookstore, to host a bookish speed friending night in our cat lounge. Guests will rotate through short conversations every few minutes, giving everyone a chance to meet fellow book lovers in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
Each guest should bring a favorite book (or a list of favorites) to help spark conversation. Your ticket also includes a “Blind Date with a Book” to take home.
The event will take place in our cat lounge so guests can mingle with our adoptable cats during the event. Who knows — you might even meet your new best friend.
There will be two rounds of participants:
Round 1: 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM (12 spots)
Round 2: 6:45 PM – 7:45 PM (12 spots)
Guests are welcome to arrive early or stay after their round to shop the Leaf and Letter mobile bookstore and hang out in the cafe.
Tickets are $35 per person and include the event experience, props, and a blind date with a book. A portion of the proceeds will benefit our rescue partner, The Pretty Pittie Committee.
Spots are limited to 24 total guests, so be sure to reserve your time slot.
