“The feral cats don’t usually bite too hard,” said Lauren, a twinkle in her eye.
“Gee, thanks.”

Acknowledgments
This book would not have happened without Cat Clyne, who was the first to suggest a cat café as the setting for a romance series and start my brain down the path that led to Whitman Street. I also want to thank Deb Werksman for her guidance and enthusiasm when she took over this project in Cat’s stead. And thank you to my agent, Moe Ferrara, for her feedback and help getting this series out into the world.
The Whitman Street Cat Café is very loosely based on the Brooklyn Cat Café on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights. I invented a lot of the details in my cat café, but I drew inspiration from the real-life café’s mission to rescue and find forever homes for the city’s cats. As of this writing, the Brooklyn Cat Café is the only cat café in the city run by an animal rescue organization. And as the pet parent of two shelter cats myself, it’s a mission I believe in strongly. Please consider donating or volunteering at an animal shelter near you!
And finally, I want to thank my Writing Gals: Rayna, Tere, Libby, Sabrina, and Holly. You guys are all amazing, your support and encouragement mean the world to me, and you have kept me sane through some truly difficult times. Go team!
