On February 29, 2020, The Orlando Cat Café celebrated its 800th cat adoption. “Sophie” a 7-month-old, gray and white domestic shorthair kitten, was the 800th lucky kitty to find her forever home. The family, who came to the Cat Café specifically to adopt, received a gift basket of toys and treats as well as a new cat bed.
“We couldn’t be happier to celebrate this milestone!” said Sandra Cagan, owner of the Orlando Cat Café. “Since opening, we have increased the number of cat adoptions, year over year, and are confident that we will reach our 1,000th cat adoption right around the time of our four-year anniversary in September.”
The Orlando Cat Café was the first Cat Café to open in the State of Florida and to date has welcomed over 70,000 visitors from all over the world. The Orlando Cat Café houses between 12-20 cats and kittens, all of which are spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on their vaccinations and available for adoption through SPCA Florida. The Orlando Cat Café is located at 532 Cagan Park Avenue in the Cagan Crossings Town Center, about 4 miles west of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Reservations are strongly recommended and can be made at www.orlandocatcafe.com.
