In 1920s Montréal, Agnes Aubert runs her cat rescue with absolute precision. Her life is neat, orderly, and entirely devoted to finding loving homes for stray cats. Romance, chaos, and magic are very much not part of the plan...

But when her beloved shelter suddenly needs a new home, Agnes finds herself forced into an unlikely bargain. The only landlord willing to rent to a cat rescue is Havelock, a reclusive and infamous magician who runs an illegal magic shop from his basement. He is eccentric, frustrating, and far too charming for comfort. Worse still, his name is tangled in rumors of dark magic and a near-apocalyptic past.

When a glamorous magician from Havelock’s former life arrives, both the magic shop and the cat shelter are put at risk. To save everything she has built, Agnes must work alongside the magician she trusts least, and may be falling for most.

Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter is a heartwarming cozy fantasy about second chances, found family, and the quiet magic of choosing love over fear. Full of memorable characters, delightful cats, and gentle romance, this story is perfect for readers who adore magical worlds with warmth at their core.
