Cat Tales – Practice Reading Skills with Shelter Cats

january 23, 2026 at 4:00 PM - 5:00 pm | Every 4th Friday until 5/22/26

@Billings Public Library

Free

Reading aloud helps your beginning reader expand their vocabulary and improve reading comprehension. Learning to read can be scary; a friendly face, particularly one with a soothing purr, can ease reading anxieties and build confidence.

This Reading Program gives children who are learning to read time to read to a group of shelter cats in a safe and controlled environment. Children can share a book with foster/shelter cats from Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter and learn about adoption options.
