8A | WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 2021 | SIUSLAW NEWS Moshow the Cat Rapper coming to OCHS to promote adoption When Oregon Coast Humane Society staff began looking for cre- ative ways to network the shelter’s special needs cats, they had no idea the answer would come from a Netflix show. Ex- ecutive Director Eliz- abeth Thompson, who joined the organization in March, was determined to find homes for some of the cats who had pre- viously been overlooked. That’s when it happened and the universe sent an answer — Netflix’s new- est star, Moshow the Cat Rapper. Moshow, who lives in Portland, was featured in the premiere episode of the new Netflix series “Cat People.” With over a million followers among his various “IamMoshow” social media accounts, Moshow was a phenom- enon and advocate of all things CAT long before Netflix discovered him. He’s a rapper, an en- tertainer, and an author who’s written six chil- dren’s books. Moshow and his wife have five cats of their own, including Black Savage, who was adopted from Oregon Humane Society. Now he’s using his platform to help the cats at Oregon Coast Humane Society find their fur-ever homes. Moshow will be at Or- egon Coast Humane So- ciety on Aug. 6 and 7.

Library Tidings Book Review “The Missing Treasures of Amy Ashton” by Eleanor Ray Amy Ashton once dreamed of becoming an artist and creating beau- tiful objects. But now she simply collects them. Aquamarine bottles, bright yellow crockery, deep Tuscan red pots (and the odd slow cooker) take up every available inch of space in her house. Having suffered a terri- ble tragedy — one she staunchly refuses to let herself think about, thank you very much — she’s decided that it’s easier to love things than people. Things are safe. Things will never leave you. But when a family with two young boys moves in next door — one of whom has a collection of his own — her carefully man- aged life starts to unravel, prompting her to ques- tion why she began to close herself off in the first place. As Amy embarks on a journey back into her past, she has to content with nosy neighbors, a meddlesome government worker, inept police, and a little boy whose love of bulldozers might just let her open up her heart — and her home — again. Quirky and charming, bighearted and moving, “The Missing Treasures of Amy Ashton” proves that it’s never too late to let go of the things that don’t matter…and welcome the people who do. This is a funny and ten- der debut novel about a reclusive artist whose col- lection has gotten out of control — but whose un- expected friendship with a pair of new neighbors might be just what she needs to start over.
