💔 THE REALITY

The cost to care for the cats doesn’t stop when business slows down. Or on days that we are closed to the public...

We still have to:

Pay our team & other expenses
Keep the cafe clean & safe
Care for every single cat

And that kind of work is hard....

☕ But what if this was simple?

What if everyone who loves the cat cafe gave just $5 a month?

That’s less than a cup of coffee.

But if enough of us do it…
we wouldn’t have to worry about the cost to care for the cats anymore.

We could focus on what matters most:
🐾 The cats
🐾 The people
🐾 The moments that change lives

💜 ERNIE’S STORY

Ernie is a 10-year-old sweetheart with the gentlest soul.

When he came to us, life hadn’t been easy on him.
He had been living outside.
His little droopy ears told the story of his harsh past..

And after being rescued… he went through something hard.
He had 17 teeth removed.

But even through all of that…
Ernie stayed calm. Affectionate. So grateful for kindness.

Our team showed up for him every day—
giving him a safe place to recover, rest, and feel loved again.

And then something incredible happened…

We shared his story with our community online, and the word spread.....

...reaching his future forever family via social media

💜 They saw him. Not his challenges—but his heart.

Ernie was adopted into a 10-acre sanctuary for animals with disabilities.

A quiet, loving place where he can finally rest, heal, and be cherished.

❤️ WHY THIS MATTERS

Stories like Ernie’s don’t happen by accident.

They happen because:

Our team was there to care for him daily, giving him time, attention, and love
We created a safe, clean space for him to heal
We shared his story with our community online, and the word spread, reaching his adopter via social media

That’s what your $5/month makes possible.

💛 WHAT YOUR $5 DOES & Why Monthly Gifts Matter Most

Monthly givers are the heartbeat of our work.

Even a small recurring gift creates predictable care, allows us to plan ahead, and helps us say yes when more cats need help—not just today, but all year long.

Your $5/month helps us:

🐾 Fully staff the cafe (even on slow days)
🐾 Pay Rent, utilities, insurance
🐾 Say YES to more cats who need help

🐾 Provide a clean, calm, safe space for our community to come together and support the good work we are doing.

🎯 Goal: Reach $10,000 in reoccurring contributions every month

If we reach this…
we create stability for everything we do.

No more worrying about slow days.
Just focusing on helping more cats like Ernie.

🙏Our Community

We need our community to come together, each one giving a small amount monthly will make a big difference.

If the cat cafe has ever made you smile,

If you have ever loved one of our cats,

If you experience joy from our online presence,

...this is your way to be part of continuing the mission.

Thank you for helping us keep going
