🔥Burning Question #1 - Who are we?
Hello! I’m Elaine 👋 founder of Mei Mei Cat Cafe. This business grew from a desire to pursue something more purposeful in my life.
I grew up loving animals, and in my adulthood my compassion for cats especially deepened when I adopted Mr Lawrence. 🐱 He’s a sweet, food-driven, very smoochy tuxedo boy with FIV. Some of his favourite hobbies include: listening to my best friend’s electric toothbrush 🪥 ek-ek-eking at birds out the window 🐦 and making biscuits 🍪
Caring for him all these years deepened my appreciation of the rich emotional world of cats and the powerful, often understated bond they share with humans. It’s more common these days for adults to consider their pets as family, treating them with as much love and respect as their own children. 👪
While volunteering at Cat Haven and witnessing the overwhelming number of cats in need, I began my research into running a cat cafe, and how much good they can do with good ethics in place.
The best cat cafes I’ve visited are run by people who care deeply about the cats’ health and happiness. 💖 This inspired Mei Mei Cat Cafe, where our goal is to create a comforting space for both humans and rescue cats, while they find their furr-ever homes. 🏠
