Seven purrfect companions are ready to take their next steps.

A heartwarming and fun middle grade series from bestselling author Erin Soderberg Downing about a unique animal sanctuary, the full-time family who live there, and the rotating stable of animal guests who will learn what it really feels like to be loved and cared for.

Siblings Ruby and Henry have an unusual kind of home life compared to their friends. Their family operates an animal sanctuary with a unique collection of full-time pet residents: a pig, a dog, the world’s bossiest cat, two silly goats, and a llama who thinks he’s a human. Not to mention, Ruby and Henry’s mom is also a vet at the animal clinic in town. Let's just say, when it comes to animals, it's hard for Ruby and Henry's family to say no…especially when they stumble upon a litter of abandoned kittens on the side of the road.

With seven new house guests with seven very different personalities, it’s only fitting to name them after the seven dwarfs. The hard part is going to be finding good homes for each unique kitten. If anyone can do it, it’s Ruby and Henry.

But first, they’re going to need to keep their new campers feeling safe and well taken care of while they grow big and strong enough to be adopted. And as it turns out, this will be harder than it seems…
