The book store with this innovative idea is called Otis & Clementine’s Books and Coffee. One of the best parts of having these adorable baby kittens in the store is that each and every one of them can be adopted and given a home by the customers that come into the store.

While talking to local media, the owner of the bookstore,  Ellen Helmke, said at any given time there are several cats and a mama cat that are present in the store.
