Set in small-town Illinois, it follows Jerry Todd and his pals Scoop, Peg, and Red as they launch a whimsical “feline rest farm” with a kindly, eccentric professor and get swept into a quirky puzzle involving a so-called “rose-colored” cat and local rival troublemakers.

The opening of the novel introduces Professor Ellsworth Stoner, a cat-obsessed academic who enlists the boys to help run a cat rest home in an old mill and places a newspaper ad that brings in crates of felines—and no money. When two guards haul the professor back to the county infirmary, the boys choose to carry on alone, scrambling for food (with help from Mrs. Maloney) and order amid town laughter and Stricker-gang pranks. A prized “rose-colored” cat named Lady Victoria arrives—actually a yellow cat with a copper collar—hinting at a deeper mystery. After a nighttime raid by their rivals and a mishap that injures the cat’s tail, the boys attempt a bungled operation; the cat dies, and they bury it, leaving them to face the consequences as they reach out to the sanitarium.
