The Purrfect Day Cat Café in Covington is celebrating two years of kitten and cat adoptions throughout the weekend of Nov. 11-13.
Purrfect Day is Northern Kentucky’s first cat café, which allows guests to grab a Pawfee, Meowcohol, or Pawstrie and then enter the kitty lounge to play and socialize with the feline friends.
Since its opening on Nov. 13, 2020, the cat café has adopted over 1,700 cats and kittens, with 1,000 of those adopted this year alone. The café hit its 1,000-adoption milestone in March of this year.
Playing with the cats and spending time with them before deciding to adopt promotes higher adoption rates, co-owner Chuck Patton said.
The mission of the café is to find good homes for all kittens and cats they received from partners in the local area, including Kenton County Animal Services, Paws Rescue in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, Cincinnati Animal Care, and the League of Animal Welfare.
The weekend celebration will include café specials, giveaways, a photo booth, and kids’ activities. All previous adopters are invited to share photos of their adopted kitties. All participants will receive a free key chain.
“The Tri-State community’s support has humbled us through these past two years, even during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Patton said. “If it weren’t for this community embracing us, we would not have reached our goal of 1,000 adoptions this year and over 1,700 since the inception.
“Purrfect Day Cafe is now one of the country’s highest-adopting cat cafes. We are proud to be a happy place where animal lovers come to make an impact, even if that means drinking a beer and talking about furry friends. We consider this success a start to even more adoptions and shelter impact. We have much work and opportunity ahead of us.”
While the cat café serves the local area, it has drawn people from 37 states to its Covington location. In the past four months, adoptions have tripled, with the average kitten staying less than two days before being adopted. Adult cats are there for under six days on average.
The café has given back over $25,000 to their shelter partners and general shelters in need of support, which reaches over 15 counties in the tri-state area of Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky.
Join the celebration at the Purrfect Day Cat Café located at 25 West 8th St. in Covington during the following days and times:
- Friday, Nov. 11, from noon to 9 p.m.
- Saturday, Nov. 12, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
