Felines will be welcomed at this Miami Beach bar. The Cat Café South Beach will open next month at 1423 Washington Ave. The coffee bar will serve java, teas and cold brews, donuts and cookies and feature views of about 30 cats and kittens. âOur tagline is a a place for the enjoyment of cats,ââ said owner Celtya Jackson who said the cafe should open in about 10 days in a former athletic shoe store. âThis is a place for people to go to who like cats, have cats at home and canât get enough of them.â The kittys will be placed in âPurradise,â an area partitioned by glass so that the cats are separate from the bar which will also serve will serve Virgin Island Coffee Roasters in Boynton Beach, Honeybee Doughnuts in South Miami and Cindy Louâs Cookies in Miami Beach. But people can step inside the cat space to interact with them. âItâs nicer for the cats,ââ said Jackson. âTheir personalities can come through.â The aim of the café is to match cats with potential new owners. The cats will be available for adoption. âLearning and caring about animals is an important life skill and it makes society a better place,ââ Jackson said noting that the café will help ease the cityâs stray population which is estimated at 150,000. âThere is no pressure to donate or adopt.â Jackson said she was inspired to open the business when she moved to Miami Beach from New York where she was a hotelier and began fostering cats. She currently has two cats that she inherited from her late aunt and she cares and feeds 10 cats in her Miami Beach building. âI want to remove the negative stigma surrounding cats, help people understand them more,ââ said Jackson. Four people will run the coffee area while the cat space will be staffed by volunteers, according to the Journal. The concept, which has been cat-ching on around the country, is said to have first begun in Asia. The Miami Beach cat-coffee house isnât the only one in the region.
