Guele Guerrero’s People Cat

A street cat brings together five strangers in the course of a fateful summer in this moving novel about love, family found and the power of the connection.

Núria, a single-choice barista with a little resentment for the “Crazy Cat Lady” label, is a member of the Meow-Corners, a group in Brooklyn who deals with the street cats of the neighborhood. In her volunteer days, she begins to find adhesive notes left by a secret admirer in an area where she feeds her favorite street, a black cat named Gato. Like most cats, he is curious and observer, so, of course, he knows who the notes are. Núria, however, has no idea.

Are Collin’s notes, a best -selling and hermit self -proclaimed with weak coffee? Are they from Lily, a Native of Georgia recently out of school that seeks her lost half -sister? Are Omar, the beloved mailman of the neighborhood that goes through an early medium age crisis? Or are Bong, the widower afflicted that Núria’s favorite winery has?

When Cat suddenly falls ill, these five strangers are united in their desire to take care of it, and discover that casual encounters can lead to the significant connections that everyone has been looking for.
