We Are Moving!
It's official, we are moving from the place we have called home for the past 9 years. While we love the property and think the space perfectly suits us, the situation just became one where it was better that we parted ways. While I am excited about the potential benefits of the change and new opportunities, it will definitely be emotional walking out those doors for the last time. I very vividly remember when I first walked in to talk the the former landlords about my crazy idea to open a cat cafe. The walls and front porch are decked in various cat decor collected over the years.
...But enough reminiscing and on to the plight at hand! We are moving just across the street so a relatively easy move. The new building needs some work and of course there will be lots of packing and moving to do.
The first immediate area of focus to start this weekend is pest control and ground clearing. We'd like to get pest control out there by Friday evening 6/12 or Saturday 6/13 to give the place a good treatment that will settle over the next few days before we start heavy work indoors. If you know a good company or how to do this yourself, let us know! We also need help clearing w**ds, brush, and tree trimming as well as mowing at the original building. I have a w**d eater that I have been told is useless....and only a small/medium size limb trimmer. If you have the tools, know-how, and grit to help in this area that would be greatly appreciated!
Another big area of need are people strong enough to help us move our bigger items like boarding kennels, furniture, refrigerators etc. We would also appreciate help in general packing, moving, clean-up, and new space set up. Our goal is to be up and ready at the new place by the weekend of 6/26/2026! A lofty goal for sure!

GoFundMe Information
Our GoFundMe is still up and running. We are planning to use current cafe money to cover moving costs so we can leave the GoFundMe untouched. This move is actually just a temporary step as we still plan to secure a more permanent home. Our lease was ending on 6/30/2026 and we decided a move, even if temporary, was the better option over a lease extension which would have itself only covered 3 additional months to start. Please continue to share and support our GoFundMe!
For those who donated over $200 we are offering 1 year lounge passes. However, I realized the way GoFundMe is set up, I do not have access to individuals contact information and it does not appear I can directly message donors either. Therefore, if you are eligible and interested in the free lounge pass, please email us at [email protected].
