LITTLE
ROCK, Ark. (April 30, 2015)—Cat cafés, which have been a longstanding
and popular tradition in Europe, are beginning to pop up in the United
States. Beginning Thursday, May 7, Arkansas welcomes its very first cat
café—now a part of the Little Rock Animal Village's (LRAV) bi-monthly Cats' Night Out.
On
the first and third Thursday of each month, the public is invited to
the LRAV at 4500 Kramer Street, off South University Ave. in Little
Rock, from 5-7 p.m. to enjoy free coffee and pastries, courtesy of Mylo Coffee Co.,
sponsor of the LRAV Cat Café. Guests will also be able to mingle with
adoptable felines, who will be roaming freely for the evening. Because
LRAV waives adoption fees for adult cats during Cats' Night Out, this
popular series has long been billed as "the cutest happy hour in town."
The
cat café twist on Cats' Night Out was organized by Friends of the
Animal Village (FAV). FAV Board Member Betsy Robb believes that
transforming Cats' Night Out into a cat café was a no-brainer. "I found
myself wishing one night that Little Rock had a cat café, when I
realized that we already had Cats' Night Out, where the cats roam as
they please. The cats and visitors tend to spend a lot of time in the
education room where there are tables and chairs, so all we needed to
add was coffee!"
