A post shared by Catnip Cat Cafe (@catnipcatcafe) on Aug 3, 2019 at 4:06pm PDT
While cat cafes are seen as cute and a tourist attraction, they also provide a service to help cats who need homes. Every year 3.2 million cats are moved into shelters, meaning that there is a constant demand for domesticated felines to be rehomed.
If you're interested in adopting a rescue cat, get in touch with your local animal shelter or visit your local cat cafe.
