The cafe, where about a dozen or so adoptable cats roam free, will be screening the election results on a projector, as well as some funny cat videos interspersed throughout to “help reduce the tension,” a listing for the event states.
The watch party is meant to help bring a bit of humor to what’s been a tumultuous election season, said Anne Levin, president Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition, which runs the cafe.
“It’s been kind of a traumatic election season,” Levin stated. “The cat cafe is a comforting place, kind of a zen environment.”
