In Short

Ferndale Cat Shelter is an official 501(c)3 charity. At any given time there are around 100 FCS cats and kittens in foster homes, yet the need is still unmet. Solution? A Cat Cafe! A Cat Cafe is a great place for people to hang out with adoptable cats and kittens and a sustainable way to fund the expenses of the shelter. It's also a calm environment for felines to play and socialize with people that love them and want to support them and meet the people that want to adopt a kitty cat!

  • The Ferndale Cat Cafe will help support ongoing expenses of the Ferndale Cat Shelter
  • Management of the Cat Cafe helps manage the Ferndale Cat Shelter and provides volunteer opportunities for those that want to participate in caring for our cats and kittens.
  • Start small but dream big - this endeavor will be used to springboard into a proper cafe.

We need funds and you get perks!

We want to raise a minimum of $2500 for the security deposit, utilities & supplies. Volunteers will be trained to maintain the space for the cats and assist with adoption procedures. Here’s what donors to our campaign will get in return:

  • The first 100 people making a $20 donation will be the first to get 2 hours of hangout time with the cats of FCS in the new Cat Cafe! Drink self-serve Great Lakes French Roast coffee and eat delicious treats! 
  • The first 10 people to give a $120 donation get their own private 1 hour cat yoga class in the Catfe with 5 of their besties, complete with a relaxing cup of tea. 
  • The first 10 people that offer a $200 donation will receive a Cat Cafe birthday party for 6! A 2 hour event complete with birthday cake, coffee and cat hair!
  • The first 5 donations of $300 receive a personalized portrait of you and your BFF (best feline friend) created by a local Ferndale artist.
  • $50 will buy you a ticket to our grand opening party! woo-hoo! Party with the kitties!
  • 12 buckaroos will get you a very stylish Ferndale Cat Shelter coffee mug.

Why do we need this space?

Placing this venture in a highly walkable, underserved area within our community that has other animal centered businesses will help provide visibility and exposure and neighborhood foot traffic. 
The Ferndale Cat Shelter has established relationships and works with other animal rescue organizations in our region to provide a strong network to build on. Publicizing and promoting the catfe to our friends in the rescue world - along with media contacts and others that will help us promote this new and exciting enterprise will make this an easy fit for our community. 
We are counting on your help in doing this! Once this initial goal has been reached we will be able to build the catfe.
