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. He
will spend his first day
with the cats filming vid-

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.
