Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie is a young lady of quiet habits and impeccable whiskers—a 1-year-old ticked brown tabby whose story begins, as many good mysteries do, with a touch of reserve. At first meeting she may observe you thoughtfully, eyes taking in every detail like a seasoned detective sizing up a suspect. But offer a gentle hand and a few soft pets, and the case quickly unfolds. Miss Christie warms to kind company with surprising speed, leaning in closer, her purr rising like a well-timed plot twist. Before long, she’s quite certain you’re no villain at all—merely the hero of her next chapter. Prospective companions may make her acquaintance Thursdays from noon to 6:30 p.m., or Friday through Sunday from noon to 3. And here’s a most delightful clue: Her adoption fee is entirely waived for visitors who present their Oakland Public Library card. If you’re seeking a clever little companion with a fondness for quiet affection and a talent for winning hearts, Agatha Christie may be ready to close the case—and move into your home for good.
