VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - Vancouver’s first ever cat cafe called the Catfe is so popular, they are almost out of kitties to be adopted.
“The response was pretty crazy,” said Furbacher. “We [are] booked up for reservations well into January now already. We’ve just had kitties flying off the shelves.”
“We’re running out of kitties.”
Furbacher raised $32,000 to help fund the project, which is now located in the International Village Mall, at 88 West Pender Street, #2035.
Popular in Japan, cat cafes are places people can go to relax, have a drink or a snack while spending time with cats.
But this is the first cafe of its kind in Vancouver, Canada.
All of the adoptable cats have come from the BC SPCA and they also oversee the adoption process.
“There’s just so much interest in the cats,” said Furbacher.
Only 16 people are allowed into the space with the cats at any one particular time so as to not overwhelm the kitties.
“A huge part of it is that they’re not in cages here,” said Furbacher. “They get a chance to be themselves more.”
“It’s quite easy to fall in love with a cat.”
