@thatgoodnewsgirl: This school cat left a mark on an elementary school in Los Angeles in the 50s and 60s. His legacy is still making a difference today! Room 8 enriched student education by listening to them read and even helping them practice writing skills while responding to his “fan mail.” He also taught them to love, respect, and care for animals. His book, “A Cat Called Room 8,” is so cherished that it’s hard to get ahold of today. And his memorial cat foundation still works to find homes foe strays like him. 📸 A Cat Called Room 8 (FB) / Elysian Heights Elementary #cat #schoolcat #straycat #stray
