Coming to Vancouver Fall 2015!

It’s official — the City of Vancouver has approved our permit application, and we will be starting construction and renovations in the next couple of weeks!

WHERE IS IT? WHERE IIISSSS ITTTT?!

Catfe will be located in International Village Mall at 88 West Pender Street, in the southwest corner on the second floor. We are pleased to have found a landlord who is just as excited about our business as we are, and who has been encouraging and patient throughout our lengthy permitting process with the City. And with its large sunny windows, we’re certain both cats and customers will love the space.

WHEN CAN I PET ALL OF THE CATS?!

In the meantime, we have to perform some serious catification! Our projected opening date will be some time in the month of October; we’ll announce a more specific date by the end of the summer.

CAN I HAVE A CAT-WHISPERER JOB?!

We are not hiring quite yet! But when the time comes to add to our roster of cat-whispering baristas, we will let you know how you can submit an application. The best way to find out about job opportunities is by joining our mailing list to receive updates.

Thanks for your ongoing support!
