My friend Margaret, who is a cat lover, doesn’t understand the whole cat café phenomenon. She wonders why people who want to socialize with cats don’t volunteer at their local shelters and socialize with the cats there, cats who are often starved for attention and need human interaction to increase their chances of being adopted.
It seems to me shelters could use the cat café concept for fundraisers. Imagine “Tea and Tabby Time” each week! But shelters should be sure to check with local health departments about refreshment guidelines!
