Mon Chat Pitre Colmar
Colmar, Grand Est
Mon Chat Pitre Colmar is a general bookshop with resident cats on Place Sainte-Catherine in Colmar's old town. Opened in May 2025 by Caroline Picard, it is the first franchise of the Mon Chat Pitre 'ronron-librairie' concept that started in Aix-en-Provence. About seven rescued cats, adopted from the Pattes de Velours refuge and the SPA in Mulhouse and from an association in Aix, live in the shop and roam freely among the shelves, with baskets, toys and an overhead walkway where they can retreat from visitors. The cats are permanent residents and are not up for adoption. Entry is free; the shop stocks some 6,000 titles, including novels, comics, children's books and a cosy mystery section, along with stationery and cat-themed gifts.
