America’s First Cat Cafe Opens

The Cat Town Café in Oakland, California holds the title as the first permanent cat cafe in the country.

Offering a menu of tasty treats including bagels, vegan sandwiches and Cat Macaroons,washed down with coffee or catnip tea (a delight craved by both customers and cats.)

Cat lovers with a hunger to help our purring pals who need forever homes can now enjoy dining on culinary creations in the presence of adorable adoptables who are enjoying a taste of the good life.

The Cat Town Café in Oakland, California- the first permanent cat cafe in the United States.

After ordering noms and beverages at the self-contained cafe, patrons can visit the separate Cat Zone, where they can purchase dehydrated treats from RAWR, an Oakland-based raw cat food purveyor, to give to their new kitty companions.

A 2,200-square-foot facility which also features an ever-changing array of cat-inspired art as well as feline-focused merchandise for sale to the public, Cat Town Café is a collaboration between Adam Myatt (The Cat Man of West Oakland) and Ann Dunn, the founder of Cat Town— an all-volunteer non-profit organization which has found pet parents for more than 600 shelter cats (many who were deemed “unadoptable”) since 2011.
