Colors, Claws & Capers

As Christmas approaches, Paws & Pastries Cat Café is abuzz with yuletide cheer and preparations for its brand-new “Paint for Paws” craft fundraiser. The café is set to host an ornament-painting workshop that will benefit the local animal rescue. But just days before the event’s grand unveiling, a priceless holiday painting on loan from the town’s historical society mysteriously disappears, putting the café’s paint-and-sip nights—and the entire fundraiser—at risk of cancellation.

Can Noelle Brightman, the café’s newest volunteer crafts instructor, and her mischievous feline co-detective, Pierre Purrcasso, uncover the missing masterpiece in time to save the event? Amidst stolen art, enigmatic cat paw prints on a suspicious canvas, and a blossoming romance with the charming local gallery owner, this Christmas mystery promises to be the most colorful yet.
