Cat
Cafe Melbourne will offer a whole new social environment never before
experienced in Australia. We will provide a fun, comfortable, and
most importantly, kitty filled space for you to relax and play with
several lovely cats from rescue shelters. It is very important to us
that our cats will be from animal rescue shelters and we will also
be raising money at our Cat Cafe to donate to local shelters. The
cats will live at the premises, therefore they will have everything
they could possibly ever need right at their paw-tips.

There
will also be a separate cafe that will look into the cat area, where
you can view the cats' natural behaviour in a fur-free space while
enjoying a coffee and cake.
However,
refurbishing premises to the tailored needs of several kitties does
not come cheap and we do not want to spare any expense in providing
the best environment for our resident rescue cats. This is why we
have launched this indiegogo campaign, and we need your help to
spread the word and raise awareness of this project (and offer you
some awesome perks along the way!).
Cat
Cafes are becoming known worldwide, the first opening in Taiwan in
1998, and since spreading to Japan, Vienna, Russia, Germany, China,
Thailand, the UK, France, and more! The success of Cat Cafes is due
to several reasons, the main one being that cats are awesome. In city
centres it can be difficult to rent a flat that allows animals, and
owning an animal for its entire life is a big responsibility and
costly, therefore Cat Cafes are a great solution to these problems.
It has also been proven that interacting with cats can lower high
blood pressure, stress, and anxiety.
If
you would love to see a Cat Cafe open up in Melbourne, and support
raising awareness of rescue animal shelters, you can help us by
funding us on indiegogo.com, spread the word to
friends, family, co-workers, and well, anyone you meet on the street!
Don't forget to use the indiegogo share tools either!
Thank
you for your help and we are looking forward to sharing this
experience with you.
