Rolo hopes to find his ancestors when he lands on his ancient homeworld, Earth. But instead, the genetically advanced cats throw him in the pound. He escapes and hides on a circus airship, where he meets a mysterious fortune-teller elephant, a kind alley cat, and an odd girl with a troubled past, Ailey. She offers to help Rolo find his people in the mythical city of Zorx if he helps her run away. But bounty hunters are on their tail - a cranky hairless cat and philosophical ape goons. Together, Rolo and Ailey must find where they truly belong in this catopia - a world where all animals are equal, but cats are more equal than others. A smart, hilarious, and genuinely touching tale of runaways, resilience, and family. Series may be read in any order.
