What are Cat Café’s, Lounges, and Cat Bookstores?

You may have noticed that your local news or magazine is featuring a cat café, cat lounge, or cat bookstore.  Usually, the goal of these spaces is to help cats find forever homes by allowing them to freely roam around safely, socialize with people, get daily affection while awaiting adoption (the human guests benefit from this as well), and create awareness of homeless cats that need to be adopted.

Cat cafés began in Taiwan, the first opened in 1998 in Taipei.  It quickly became quite popular with Japanese tourists and by 2004 the first Japanese cat cafe opened in Osaka.  Japan currently has over 150 cat cafes today!  Soon the world took note and Korea, Austria, Hungary, Spain, France, Germany, the UK, and North America joined the movement.  The first U.S. cat café was in New York and open in 2015.

Have you heard of a Cat Café?

Since originating in Taiwan in 1998, Cat Cafés have taken off! Spreading through Europe and now the United States, this pet-friendly concept is the purrfect idea for those who are thinking about adding a new furbaby to their family.

The Kitty Beautiful, a Cat Café located in downtown Orlando, opened its doors in November 2019 and offers two different sides. One side is your place for all things liquid- and food-related and the other side is…wait for it…a room full of cats waiting to be adopted. The idea behind this type of business is to bring folks in who are interested in adopting a kitty and have them interact with potential cats looking for their furever homes.

If spending hours with feline furbabies is not enough, this café also offers weekly events to include cat yoga, cats against humanity, and trivia. As a cat lover, what more could you ask for?
