Pennsylvania Cafe Helps Rescue Cats Find Loving Forever Homes

June 4, 2024 Malorie Thompson

Cat cafes have been growing in popularity, largely in European countries like Ukraine.

As the trend has grown, cat cafes have popped up in the United States, like the Toe Beans & Dreams Adoption Café in Oahu, Hawaii.

Now, Devon, Pennsylvania has its own cafe that's working to help rescue cats get adopted! It's called the Black Cat Cafe.

The cafe, which is open Wednesday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., uses all of its proceeds to support cat adoption and rescue efforts!

According to ABC 6, the cafe primarily serves breakfast and lunch menu items crafted by the award-winning chef Judy Link.

The cafe is owned by the non-profit Pet Adoption and Lifecare Society, which also owns a private cat shelter.

While the cafe isn't home to rescue cats, diners at the cafe can inquire about cat adoption with any staff member to learn more. If you're interested in meeting a rescue cat while you dine at the cafe, you can schedule an appointment to meet a cat through the Pet Adoption and Lifecare Society. According to their website, "All meetings [with cats] are by appointment only!...We generally set up meetings at The Black Cat Cafe in Devon."

Prior to a cat meeting, you can apply and get pre-approved to adopt. Then, a member of the adoption team will reach out to schedule a meeting. Even if you don't end up adopting the cat you meet, the funds from your meal will go to support that cat and the others that are waiting for homes!
