Happy Cat Cafe celebrates 1,000 adoptions
1,000 cats now have their fur-ever homes thanks to the Happy Cat Cafe in Grand Rapids! The Parisian Family of Grand Rapids adopted Mountain, a black kitten to be a companion for their current cat after losing his longtime feline friend.
Because they were the milestone adoption, they now get a year of free visits, a certificate, and a photo on the "wall of fame". The cafe partners with Fig and Friends Animal Rescue to create a space where people can enjoy coffee and kitties, and maybe take one home.
When it opened in 2017, The Happy Cat Cafe was Michigan's first cat cafe.
